what wonderful memories of our mighty magpies
:magpies:
i was 12 going on 13, and my Dad & I were there that day (amongst many over all my years of growing up at Lidcombe Oval). There was no atmosphere like it when the bike track was filled to overflowing.
Officer Foster with his hat-trick, and Graeme O'Grady on fire!
won't be able to get the silly grin off my face for the rest of the day now!
thank you so much for sharing this - it certainly brought back not only wonderful memories of our beloved black and whites, but reminded me of how much i enjoyed "growing up" at Lidcombe Oval!
Thank u again!

I was exactly the same age dentay, and I too was there, no doubt in my desert boots, levis and magpies jersey
The atmosphere is what hits me every time I see it, can still hear the song on those big old loudspeakerscomplete with pops and crackles, could hear the needle in the groove

them were the days my friend!
we used to sit to the left of the TV tower, on the "family" hill, the players used to bring their kids there too (remember Matt Giteau in nappies!)...
and didn't u just love the old storms that used to blow up all the dust and grit off the netball courts in the back?
people may say we're nostalgic old @#$%*! but i say these days that kind of atmosphere and team spirit is just too difficult to replicate at that honest level.
it was a real day out, especially if you did what i used to, i dragged dad along for all 3 grades, we just HAD to be there for kick off of the Under 23's!
as each grade progressed, the tension & excitement levels raised, as did the average size of the players, so by the time Dallas, Snoozer & the boys left the sheds and crunched down the concrete path in their metal spikes, you knew that you they meant business and you had a match on your hands!
