............except of course, for us, there was a happy ending
All I remember about this game was the relief of being at an away game that we didn't lose, because we hadn't picked up a point away from home for months
For me the most shocking thing about the table twenty years ago is that since then;
4 clubs have been to the Premier League.
10 have gone out the league, although several have come back.
3 have gone bust and disappeared or had to be restarted under a new name.
