I must admit, that was one big game where I was so confident of winning from the minute I stepped into Wembley. It just seemed never in doubt for us that day and your fans and team didn't seem up for it at all.

The early goal for us meant we were never going to be troubled that day either

Des Hamilton beat us pretty much by himself.

Went to Newcastle for over £2 million not long after, crazy money at the time I think the British record at the time was only something like £15 million.

Disco Des ended up with us , like the rest at that time didn't shine (relegated from league 1 about 20 years ago) but I liked him - hard worker

Sames happened to us since we went out league. Went down to around 3000, we now get 7-8-9 thousand a game. Now loads of kids/families coming and wearing shirts round town. Getting rid of toxic owners does wonders (and starting to win a bit of course!)

Getting rid of Saltergate was surely equally important, although I have some fond memories from our third division championship season.

Agreed that generic hugely popular chant although very effective at making good noise was very tiresome during the game. Especially with both sides singing it. Not enough of the classic Wheelbarrow song for my liking.

Although after we broke their hearts in a penalty shootout I really enjoyed singing it.

Certainly wasn't a dull game for the neutral.

Nothing comes close to the vuvuzelas.

It was annoying that it was the only thing everyone joined in with. I’m not a massive fan of it generally but worst is when it’s sung when you’re absolutely not putting on a show but hanging on for a 1-1 draw and had no shots on target

Sad when we left it but def needed to happen for us to progress as a club. Ironically it was only possible cos of the toxic owner who later almost destroyed us.

I’ve great memories of Saltergate May 1990 first ever away game as a 10 year old, not one I’ll ever forget, nearly as many coppers as fans.
