Will never forget or forgive the six fingered inbreds for their stone throwing antics into the area where our coaches were parked after the game as plenty of women and kids copped for it that day.

What a sad season that 97-98 season.We should have sacked Frank Clarke in January.Joe would have saved us from relegation with a bit more time.

I was there, 19 years of age, watched the stands as much as the game that day. Going off everywhere you looked. Blues scrambling over the pitch from the stoke stands as the game went on to get in our end. There was a little section of seats to the right of where we were sat that blues were getting put into as well when they were discovered with a shield of police around them.
Strangely it was pretty euphoric at the final whistle after winning. Strange
And then when we got out, I was stood at the top of the hill and looked down at the bridge they have there. Thousands waiting for us. And half way across the bridge there was no one. They werent moving. In went the horses and for the first time in my life I saw grown men punching horses. On the walk back there were cars strewn left right and centre.
Went the season after and Wiekens scored a belter in an empty stadium.

We needed to better either Port Vale or Portsmouth's result that day but they both bloody won, hence we both went down. The ultimate humiliation was that both Bury and Stockport finished above us that season. How times change in 15 years!
I remember being sat on the coach after the game stuck on the car park whilst bricks and bottles rained down onto the roof. We must have been stuck there for half a hour before the police would let us leave.
Was Danny Tiatto playing for Stoke that day?

I seem to remember Bradford city were one of the clubs who sent us down and their whole stadium were singing 'are you watching Mancheater?'. Wasn't Alan ball manager of the teams who capitulated? Portsmouth maybe?

I thought Pompey won? although I could be wrong, they were certainly involved and Alan Ball was indeed the manager. I recall as we left the away end a City fan declaring he wanted 'Alan Balls head on a skewer'

Other way round. Bradford capitulated to an Alan Ball managed Portsmouth and lost 4-0.
