MAY 3rd 1997

Never been so emotional in a football match in my life!

Tears of sadness at half time
Tears of joys at full time

 

[TSB]

Sitting in with the Hereford fans. Remember nothing of the game, except the relief at full time and not being able to express it until outside the ground. Only 11 at the time, but it meant the world to me then and always will.

 

[KJP]

Remember listening to it on the radio, the last few minutes were unbearable

How things change, look at this synopsis of the latter stages of that season

15.000 seater stadium you say, that should be plenty big enough

Yep listening on the radio. If I remember rightly, Tony Millard's "unbiased" commentary in the last few minutes went something like..."Maskell away...on the ball..Reinelt free...for god's sake pass the ball..." We lose it any they nearly score!

 

[Wozza]

Ah, there's a young Trig there who couldn't bear to watch

Thanks for that. Just about managed to hold back the tears whilst sitting at my desk.

Thanks for that. Just about managed to hold back the tears whilst sitting at my desk.

You're a bigger man than me.

Remember listening on the radio. Every emotion expressed on the day!

A great day mad ,next day went to Stoke's last ever game at The Victoria ground .

 

[dejavuatbtn]

That was the wierdest half time ever. Can't ever remember feeling so lost, nervous, apprehensive, worried and religious! Big thanks to Gritty, Orms, Robbie and the rest who got us out of jail.

I hate watching re runs of that game, just in case I suddenly wake up in a padded cell with my afc Brighton shirt on

 

[Giraffe]

Worst half time ever, best feeling at full time. The moment where ormerod saved the one on one which was hit straight at him was a truly stomach dropping moment.

Ah, there's a young Trig there who couldn't bear to watch

3:28 or 3:31?

 

[Triggaaar]

[Stumpy Tim]

Thanks for that. Just about managed to hold back the tears whilst sitting at my desk.

Loving that 90s hair Trig

More like a pair of curtains than hair.
