Will we get a Kindle version?
There will be a Kindle version, mate, but it'll be without pictures because of rights issues - so, sadly, it'll be plain text only. It's also going to be out a bit later I'm afraid as there have been some hiccups in converting it.
But there will definitely be one!

I'll be tweeting it left, right and centre - and will post in here - when it's out, mate. :)

And today I've just finished the documentary to go with it! It features something from all the players and memories of that day.
It'll be on Imagine FM's Blue Moon Live on Sunday (9pm-10pm on 104.9FM inside Manchester or <a class="postlink" href="http://www.bluemoonlive.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bluemoonlive.co.uk</a> -> Listen Live if you're outside Manchester).

Perfect perfect timing! :-)
From that...... to this
I'm still awestruck
Nice one.
I went to Bootham Crescent on Monday night to watch York City v Fleetwood Town in the League 2 play off. Brought back such happy memories of December 1998. The ground hasn't changed one bit. No roof for away fans , pissing down, overflowing toilets. Happy days.

I won't be buying the book. Good title though. My Scunthorpe supporting friend was looking forward to the possibility of us meeting in the league.
98/99 is something which did happen but I'd rather forget. I had a season ticket that year, as I did for years previously and still do now, but in 98/99 I only went to about half the games at Maine Rd. It was just too depressing to see City playing in the third division, the result of two decades of bungling and bad management, much of which I'd watched at Maine Rd and various grounds around the country.
My Gillingham Wembley ticket went to a relative. I wasn't going to travel 200 miles to watch a third division match.
Naturally I was pleased when City beat Gillingham and got back to the second division, but the whole era was terrible in City terms and not something I want to be reminded of too often.

Being in division 2 was like banging your head against a wall: great when it stopped.
But it will always be an iconic season in our history as not only the low point but the turning point in the club's fortunes.
And the Gillingham game remains the most emotional of my life. We've had glory since, but never a game that felt like the club's entire future depended on it.
