Where were you on Sunday 30th May 1999 (Gillingham play off game?)

Wembley. Did walk out on 88 mins but didn't get very far. Forever grateful to a blue who came crashing though a fire exit of what I presume was a conference suite and launched a bottle at the wall. Looking inside there were a smattering of blues, a telly but crucially a bar, I really needed a drink. Stood at the bar Kev scores but still not feeling it, can't watch just looking at my beer moping waiting for the inevitable. Think it was the "go on" as the ball dropped to the Goat that drew me back in just in time to see the goal. Cue a minute of mayhem, a surreal pause and then a mass stampede back out of the fire door and back up the steps. There were plenty of others doing the same.
 
Im so ashamed i was the only city fan not there.Everybody els was

No worries, you'll always have York away ;)

Don't assume it. He needs to be interrogated on that. The misdemeanour of missing Wembley is one thing, but to have not been present at either calls for a life banning from this forum, because he would clearly be a dipper who's infiltrated it.
 
At Wembley. Spat me dummy out at 0-2 and headed for the exit. Heard about Super Kev's "consolation" whilst walking down Wembley Way towards Wembley Central. When it was followed by a large cheer people though it was the final whistle! Made it back to my seat a couple of minutes into extra-time and the rest, as they say, is history (and a lesson learnt).
 
Booked a holiday to Tunisia the Monday after York away.

The game was on I think Sky sports 2 which wasn't available anywhere that I could find.

Ended up with updates from a girl who lived in Gillingham via her phone. She fucked off from the pool at 2-2.

As everyone I knew who would know the score was at the game, it was a out 23.00 before I found out.

Oh and I was offered a shag by her in the bar later as we were all a bit pissed on All-inclusive......if only Mrs Moon wasn't with me, who knows?
 
Wembley with my old man who left at 0-2 but made it back in for extra time. Thank fuck I stayed and witnessed a major part of our history.

Got home in the early hours to watch the match highlights my mum had recorded on Sky. To this day, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day always reminds me of the game as it used in the closing titles.
