Your usual dullard comment.
When was the last tome a loan player got carried off a pitch after a pitch invasion, when the club hadn't won anything (I think that it might have even been mid seasons)? Er, never.
You just don't get it. :facepalm:

Question,
We had another loan player who came at the same time. Who was also decent.
Can you name him?
Gerry Harrison.
My uncle called him George.
We chaired Newton off in the last home game of the season against Crewe. It was a night game, and we were not playing on the last weekend because Aldershot or Maidstone went bust. A win would/could have put us in the play-offs. Some thought a draw may have been enough, but Barnet thrashed York on the next Saturday and were already above us on goal difference.
We had won two of the last 3 games, beating Wrexham and Barnet, but losing to Burnley at Turf Moor.
Wright was talking about spending big, some thought we could have got Eddie Newton. He galvanised us when he joined, seemed to take pride in playing for us and was a touch of class in a squad that was still transitioning under Eddie May. The team were good to watch, and it was the last home game of the season so we were going on the pitch regardless. Blakey also got carried that day, and I think Pike did too. It wasn't just Eddie Newton, although most would have loved him to stay.
Thats why you don't get it
Its the very fact that hundreds of cardiff fans invaded the pitch to carry off Eddie Newton in a fourth division game that makes it such a magical moment
Robin Friday , Eddie Newton , Eddie Johnsons first goal
