Embedded in my memory Fill. Always hear from their idiot fans how the Nobbers filled the East Stand when they won promotion.
Don’t hear much about that season when we hammered them 5-0 and they could only muster up around 1500 most of who had left before the end.The moment the net swelled and we knew that Little Wigan were in The Top Flight of English football. 3-1 and Reading couldn’t come back. Only capped when Ben Watson rose above the City defence and the net swelled and there was no way back for City. Spent most of those last few minutes in floods of tears.
No way back for Arsenal either as the net swelled at Highbury from Jason Roberts effort, runs very close to those as Latics had made their first major final.
Pretty Brilliant in The AWS final when the net swelled again giving Millwall no way back.
Hope we can give the Finneyites no way back on Saturday.Don’t always agree with you, donny, but these are spot on my best memories in recent years.
I still have recorded that commentary from the Reading game. I was in prawn sandwich that day, and spent the night out in Wigan in a suit. Even managed to blag my way among the players in Walkabout.
The following day a big boss from London was visiting, and noticing my state asked if I was OK. I said I was, I had just been celebrating promotion.
“Oh, congratulations” she said. “Where are you going to be working?”
“Not me. My football team”
I don’t think she understood, to be honest.[/quote]I have a recording of Matt McCann that day, it’s a legendary bit of commentating.
Anyone know what Matt is up to these days?I have a recording of Matt McCann that day, it’s a legendary bit of commentating.

Cheers Egg, apparently he is Head of Press at Anfield
That Reading game our Maude was back in Nuneaton with our best mates in the club watching the game. She rung me to say ” we are all watching you nutters going mental” right on cue the second goal went in and the place went berserk. I got back to the club that night to a round of applause and a bottle of champagne from everyone. Unbelievable moment in my life like so many I have enjoyed as a fan of this truly amazing wonderful club.
Plain crisps with a little blue wrap of salt inside from the old snack hut in between pop side and town end.
Watching crowds coming in from top of the town end when we had a big cup game.
Stanley Matthews playing for Port Vale against us. Think it was to commemorate the opening of the floodlights or a Northern Floodlight League match.Remember a lot more matches than there are these days.
One of the FA Cups most memorable hat tricks scored by Harry Lyon who came back on with a strapped up ankle after a tot of whisky to score the hat trick. No subs then.
Remember when Roy Davenport left us and all the crowd were chanting Davenport, keep him, Davenport, keep him.
Tales from the older chaps about the trip to Newcastle and the replay at Springy.
The Three Amigos era and puking up with pre-match nerves walking towards Canal Street Runcorn.
Graham Jones goals.
The first time we played Nob End in the League Cup at home.
Bury away and a two all draw on a flooded pitch.
Allways getting lost looking for Valley Parade and it’s so easy to find.
Howard allways going to Valley Parade on his motor bike just because a bar near the ground had strippers on.Plain crisps with a little blue wrap of salt inside from the old snack hut in between pop side and town end.

Howard allways going to Valley Parade on his motor bike just because a bar near the ground had strippers on.I remember parking up in Bradford once right near the ground, and walked along the street to the ground. When we got there all the turnstiles were shut, in fact they were boarded up, we had only parked near to, and tried to get into Bradford Park Avenues ground.
We thought it was a bit quiet but we were early.Going to Chesterfield midweek in mates shitty mustard coloured Austin Allegro with Square steering wheel it was pissing down I was in back and the poxy sills were shot so the footwells filled up with rainwater.Feet wet through and frozen stiff. Worse journey to a game in living memory.
Wearing your lucky underpants; blue for the Tics.

Bury away and a two all draw on a flooded pitch.Was that the game where Mark Leonard turned away celebrating a late winner only for the ball to stop in a puddle a foot from the line?
