Can't remember the score but I remember we didnt lose by that much.

Memory lane: Any ground noted for its wind should have a windsock. In 1991, Kevin Sheedy ordered that the sock be tied down before the match against West Coast.

Sorry... he actually removed the windsock in 1987 altogether.... he also tied it down in 1991.
