This was my third visit to Bury in successive seasons. I've been back to Gigg Lane three times since but only once to see Torquay United: 1-0 (Graham) in November 2002.
My written team changes are faint but there's another classy alteration at number eight. Last time it was Bruce Rioch; this time it's Tony Currie. Not the biggest stage of TC's career; just 1,329 in attendance. I won't profess to remembering a single thing about this match or my visit to Bury (it must have been a rush after work and a late train home via Manchester) but, after a decent sequence of results, I'm sure I was cautiously optimistic about our prospects under this Webb fellow.
Wilf McGuinness had hopefully got Old Trafford out of his system by 1984 but it's an interesting reference to Torquay being "tucked away down in Devon". I guess we'd see Bury as being "tucked away between Bolton and Rochdale". It's all relative.
Lovely tale about Mrs Doris Robinson and Mrs Susan Freely frantically ringing Bury FC from Malta. Good grief didn't they have Live Scores Update or whatever loaded on their phones?
The attendances are interesting particularly if you look at the lowest recorded by each club to date. It was, if anything, to get slightly worse. I'm not sure if it's a period over which to become too nostalgic.
