  1. No more than 3 or 4 a season and usually I buy a Goalden Goal ticket.
    I tell you, I will never forget the one time I won. I was about 14/15 and we were playing Tottenham - 86/87? Crook curled in a great free kick and when them guys walked round the pitch with the time shown on the board & they announced it over the tannoy I just couldn''t believ it - 71 mins 47 secs - still remember the exact time!
    It was the 2nd Goal I think, and it won me £50 - not a lot now, but to to a 14 year old all them years ago it was a small fortune!
    Just to show you how long ago it was I treated myself to a Lyle & Scott jumper & thought I was the dog''s b''s when I wore it to school!
    So, Goalden Goal will always have a special place in my heart!

  2. Probably feeling just a little silly.

    McKenzie & the rest of the team rightly deserve accolades for today, but Worthy must also take huge credit.

    His tactics were spot on - be tight at the back & hit on the counter. Did anyone else notice the number of instructions he was barking out - constantly calling players over to the technical area to give them guidence.

    And from the 1st goal celebration you could tell how much the players work for the man.

  3. The club is skint, it can''t afford to take on any more debt and none of your fond memories of the 70''s, 80''s and 90''s is going to change a single thing.
    This is the real world & it''s 2003. Yes it''s not nice not having money to buy players, but it would be far less nice not even having a team to support.

    To remind you of a not so nice memory, we''d have gone out of business a few years ago if Stoke hadn''t made the playoffs on the final day of the season. Reaching the play offs meant two more games for Mike Sheron to play in, prompting a further £100,000 payment to the club as he hit 50 appearances.

    I for one don''t want to go so close again to extintion.

    Another year in Div 1 or oblivion? Hmmm, let me think.

  4. God point, but to add even more caution I think it''s dangerous to assume we''d get our money back on Huckerby if we failed to go up.
    Clubs will realise he''s on big bucks & that we''d be desperate to offload him & so would tempt us with low bids.
    Look at the Binmen, just £750k for Holland? A little more for Hereidasson was it they got? Clubs knew they were in financial trouble and took advantage.
    12 months earlier they could have easily got £3m for Holland and similar for Hereidasson.

  5. Yet another article about how much we need Huckerby. Cheers for that. Why not tell us next week that the Titanic has sunk?
    What I find more worrying is that it seems to be an agenda of his to build up expectation amongst the supporters & crank up the pressure on the board to secure Huckerby''s services.
    I''ll forever be grateful to this board, simply for still giving me the opportunity to support this club & I have no doubt that if there is any way they can sign Huckerby for us, without putting the club''s future in jeapordy, then they will.
    Potentially causing bad feeling between the Board / Manager / Fans achieves nothing but negativity. You''ve made your point - several times now. Time to move on to something else.
