wasn't there 3 or 4,000 when Ivano made his debut?


No.
Pretty sure I went and it was just a busier than normal Main Stand from memory....
remember similar with CHIIMMMAAAAAA as well, quite a buzz about the place but in his case never really amounted to much.

How many witnessed Fumaca grace the BP turf in 1999?

I did.

Genuinely thought that he was the next Ivano and would catapult us to the Premier League...

Used to love the reserve games, nice competitive environment with a mix of players on the edge of the first team and promising youngsters.  This was the same for all sides so it wasn't the glorified youth game they became in later years.

Many things have contributed to the demise of the reserve leagues, none less so than the Premier League's obsession with their Academy/Under 23 sides.

Jose Antunes. On trial with Ademola Bankole wasn’t he?

Not quite. The main stand was fairly full, and they opened the corner between the Main and Osmond if my memory serves me correct. I was the Head Steward for that match. It was the only Reserve game I remember that had a Police presence too, just because of the numbers that were expected.
