IanMac Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If the town defence is the same as at Keighley or Skolars then with players like Phillips, aiye and Parker we could make things extremely difficult for ourselves. Hopefully we bring the broncos defensive display, the pack lay a good platform and Jamie can pull the strings. I think it will be a tight affair with not much in it with probably the team who keep their discipline coming out on top, hopefully Town. I’m away so unfortunately will have an unpleasant afternoon listening to Gibson on the radio as he shrieks with delight if Haven score and sounds incredibly depressed if Town do. It’s a pity they don’t use Walshy or even the guy that was on last week at London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i will go in the same frame of mind as last season with no expectation what so ever. I hope that Howarth doesn't have the same influence over this game as last season - UTT Need to put my glasses on I thought you said 60.0 Yeh I was at that one we were expected to win that one comfortably it was one of the biggest Town followings at the Wreck I've ever seen, it was tense to say the least.

town blue Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Did the 0-0 draw take place on boxing day during Peter Walsh's era? I remember watching a midfield battle on a mud bath pitch for the full 80 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Certainly a lesson in superiority counting for nowt on the day if you don’t get it right as we got that draw then they did us 4-7 here at Easter in our title year . I prefer that lovely hiding , must have been the year before I guess , when we flooded through there and that mulligan slalom try was the highlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodooguru Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm sure that 0-0 game lasted 3 hours, I was in bits at the end. I find the wreck a strange ground to watch a game, with the two open terraces and the mini grandstand it doesn't lend itself to a good atmosphere IMO, and added to that you can't see the near touchline from the side terracing, and the PA system is a bit hit and miss. I can't think of another ground similar. I know DP is no kings palace either btw. At least when the roof was on you could keep dry without resorting to the Kells end. So it's always a bit of a chore to get through there, but I'll be there as usual feeling pretty nervous from the moment I get up. UTT The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching a midfield battle on a mud bath pitch for the full 80 mins. 28th December 1993. Des Drummond made the best tackle I’ve ever seen in that game, Seeds was in the act of scoring and Dessie appeared from nowhere to get underneath him and hold him up. Then of course the infamous forward pass that ruled out Peter Dover’s try in the last minute....

town blue Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 One of the most enjoyable wins on the rec was when Timuvave (excuse the spelling) practically won the game on his own - I believe he scored a hatrick in one of the best and classiest performances that I have seen from a Town centre. The game was played under floodlights and even the popular side had a covered stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the one when King Kenny Kerr slid in at the kells end from 30mts out, Our chairman Mr Mounsey playing for haven was sent off that night after Clogger Colin Falcon had been dismissed earlier for us.

And that's all they are just 2 points and 2 steps on a long road, so whatever happens Friday, there are good things happening at Workington Town and we need to recognise that and as much as I desperately want those 2 it's important to keep walking on that road as its leading somewhere.
