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

Jumped the football special on the way back too - back in Piccadilly for 9:30 and back on the piss - great day!

Wembley. Heavy nostalgia at this point but still the best match I've ever seen (in the end).

At Wembley in the Gillingham end, left at 2-0 and had to bribe a gateman to get back into the ground.

I was at Wembley. Got my tickets at Gillingham’s ground so we were in the Gillingham end until they relocated stray Blues into a neutral area.

Everyone sang The Great Escape theme tune on the way out.

Best City weekend of my life :)

 

[york away to this!]

Wembley. Stayed 'til the death.
Celebrated like fuck.
Drove back like the wind in my Nova Gte.
Got back to the Railway in Hale where we'd been in that shot of dismayed then ecstatic fans through the game to a hero's welcome...

Wembley. Was surprised at how much of a shit hole it was.

Wembley but in the Gillingham end. Was hard been surrounded by their fans but was great watching our fans going bananas when we scored although hard not to join in. Was about to jump up but my uncle was next to me and grabbed me before I could.

Was a bit dicey for a few weeks after as being a dick head 18 year old I decided to wear a city shirt about. Got chased through the high street and threatened in their main pub. Ha ha great days.

Sat behind the goal at the end where all our goals and pens went in.

I don't hark back to that season with any fondness. It was a grind, the football was shit until after Xmas and the teams we played were largely alehouse too.

Thankfully the club is a million miles from what it was then, so continuous comparisons or the old "remember where we were in 1999" whenever anyone dares criticise any defeat doesn't wash for me.
