“WHERE’Z YIH BIG ⬆️ BRASS BAND?”
For those of yoo of a certain vintage age, Brighouse became famous in 1977 when The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band reached number 2 in the UK charts with a crap tune aboot a ‘Floral Dance’ which woz even featured on ‘Top of the Pops’!
Well! sadly! the anly ‘band’ that torned up at the UTS Stadium, were The Dunston Ultraz, who banged on a big drum and sounded an air horn az the match kicked off! (Aboot 20 or so young fans aged between aboot 9 and 16)
It didn’t take lang for them to make a bigger racket when Dunston took the lead in the 4th minute through Tom Devitt who flicked the baall into the net at 'The Hot Food End'! 1-0 to 'The Bad Blue Boys'
I opened mee Goalden Goals ticket and it said 99 minutes??? ------"It's a FIX!"⬇️
The Brass Band Brigade then blew their imaginary trumpets (sic!) when they equalised on the half hour mark through Booth, who had the simple task of tappin the baall into the net from close range! 1-1
The hosts regained their lead in the 42nd minute when Neary crossed for Josh Donaldson for a ‘vice versa’ tap in at The Hot 🔥 Food End! 2-1
It woz soon 3-1 bang on half time, when Donaldson went on a hazy dribble before cuttin' inside, to plant the baall into the corner of the net! HT 3-1
It woz 'even stevens' for much of the 2nd period, but Dunston put the final nail in Brighooses 'trumpets' in the 73rd minute, when Wil Shaw unselfishly passed the baall across the box to Donaldson and he said "thank you very much!" az he fired home from close in AT (wait for it!) ‘The Dunston Rocket-less End’to complete hiz hat-trick! (There used to be a huge tower block in Dunston nicknamed 'The Dunston Rocket' 🚀 az it resembled a space rocket!---It woz demolished many moons 🌙 ago!---Hence ‘The Dunston Rocket-less End!’) 4-1 to The Bad Blue Boys! FT
After the game it woz off to the clubhoose for some celebratory 'liquid lubrications', before heedin to The Royal and The Tudor Rose in Dunston, for the rest of the neet!
“WE WOZ THERE!—-THE PROOF!”⬇️
