Proved to be a very vital win, this one, seeing as it was just a couple of weeks from the end of the season and we ended up beating them to promotion on goal difference.

Didn't we get a late winner that day, as well?

Yes, Simmo was put through and lobbed the keeper at the City end.

Thanks, I'd forgotten how the goal came but you're right - thanks to the splendid history section on this site, I've tracked down the goals. David Phillips put us into the lead with a header, they levelled and Simmo won it for us late on. Great stuff!

Copper came onto the coach, welcomed us to Portsmouth and said we'd be kept behind after the game. Someone asked ''how long'' and the reply was ''depends if you win or not''.
We were kept back for over an hour and escorted to our coaches

Why the 6-30 kick off? strange time.
Looking at the programme front I was surprised to see the Platt Lane end covered, this is the era that I first started going and in my befuddled mind I would have sworn that the only stand we had was the main stand.
