I was there. :-)

You, and half a million others!

Wrexham away on Boxing Day was our real low point but that's a shithole so yeh, I'm in.

My daughter was born on that day, great win and I held her up to see Maine Road as she was born in St Mary's and you could see the stadium :)

You lot who went to York away that day can bang on all you want about your 'suffering' (!!) as we slipped to our lowest League standing in history.

But you'll never know the absolute pain and horror of being at Edgeley Park with your youngest daughter and her primary school party friends, all there on free tickets, watching Stockport County (of the Championship we dreamed of getting back to) beating Oxford 2-0, while the news of our defeat by York filtering through from County fans led the Cheadle End to sing all sorts of songs about our plight.. yes, County fans, s*dding County fans.. taking the Michael.. and taking it out of US!

Proper scarred me for life. Still have cold sweats and nightmares about it at night, half-expecting a knock on the door and being told that everything since 2008 'has really been a dream'..

Losing to York and going 12th. The lowest place ever.
Beating Wrexham and moving up a place or two.....

Deffo York

Went out in York on a Saturday night over the summer and was genuinely shocked at the state of the nightlife there. Was much closer to a Saturday night in Blackpool than Chester, for example. Absolute fucking mayhem in parts.

In all seriousness, though, I'd like like the club to do a little video about why it has become a cult moment in our history but not much more than that. One for the fans who were there more than the club really.

It's already been done

It's the semi final of the Club World Cup that day. I'm hoping to attend the final but I'll miss that game, which itself is my way of commemorating missing York away (I did several other aways that year).

Quite an incredible few years we've had.

Wycombe away was the nadir for me.
