Gillingham v Manchester City 1999

I was dragged to Comet in Blackburn by Mrs Cbj to buy a new TV, so watched the whole match on their latest "Big screen" TV, much to the manager's annoyance. :-)

We went out with a new TV though at the end.

I was there with my lad. When Gillingham's second went in he zipped up his jacket expecting us to leave. I told him that if the rags can get two goals in injury time (CL final a few days before) then so could we and that we were going nowhere. Of course he was chuffed to bits when we won. Quite possibly the most exemplary bit of parenting I've ever done.

I watched the game in the Runnymede Hotel in Egham, Surrey.

Surrounded by everyone supporting Gillingham.

Great day.

Said it before, at 2-0 my lad at his first away game asked if we could go. No, you're a City fan learn to suffer. I waited outside as the pens were taken though. As I also did for the Liverpool final.

I bought a ticket in the hospitality/ corporate area of the main stand - with lots of other 'normal' blues in there also.
I am not ashamed to say I blubbed like a baby after it was all over. The sheer relief and emotion just had to come out.

Remember getting to Corley services on way home and everyone walking around like Zombies , think the day had drained most of us!

There were 4 of us. 3 sat together and 1 elsewhere (couldn’t get 4 together). And thank God. Because at 0-2 the three of all said “let’s go” and then thought what’s the point we are meeting the 4th at a set point and if he stays we would just be outside waiting. He thought the same. Had we have 4 seats together we probably would all have left (we also had the fun of staying that night at the Wembley Hilton which capped it off)
