Top 5 town memories.....

[upthetown]

ok trawling thru some of the old videos broughts some fond memories back for me.

What are your top 5 memories? Good or bad?

Mine are:

1. Town 7 v 1 Palace - wijnhard overhead kick for hat trick
2. Been relegated to brum on last day.
3. Drawing 2-2 with wimbledon.....last min ekoku equaliser.
4. Lincoln city playoffs after been 0-2 in home leg, to make the final.
5. Town v Bradford city - grant johnsons great volley infront of panasonic.

[LordyOfTheManor]

im not sure what to choose to be honest ,but i'll have a go.

1. trip to wembley 95 play-off final - seeing one of my best mates out of the 59,000+ fans that were there.
2. trip to cardiff 04 - jumping in the fountains near the coaches and taking the piss out of the mansfield town players when we met them on the m5
3. lincoln city play-offs 04 - remember praying to God just before scoffer took the penalty. (i was the reason we got to the final :-)!)
4. beating hull city 3-1 at home - superb game and was able to take the piss out of my mates for the rest of the season.
5. beating swansea city 3-1 at home in 05 - it was the first game since scunthorpe 04 which we had won while id been there. (not including mansfield play-off final, because we drew after normal time)

other contenders would be beating oldham away 3-0 in 05, beating bradford in 94 4-3, beating palace 7-1, beating birmingham 4-2 in 95 (the season after they won the division 2 championship at our place) and my first game which was the last at the old leeds road - the only reason i didn't pick that one was because i can't remember much about it.

i have no bad memories. no point really. they're in the past where they belong.

Stockport away maybe 2004? 3-2 win in the dying minutes. We all got very sunburnt that day behind the goal!

And Scunthorpe at home when John Makka came and did the wonders.

.

...yes extremely sunburnt, a happy memory. Ok for me.....


1. Cardiff 2004 (never made it to Wembley either time unfortch)
2. Crewe 2-5 Huddersfield. Personally the greatest moment as a Town fan who hails from this corner of Cheshire.
3. Boothy scoring a hattrick on my 29th birthday (23rd October 2001)
4. Pavs last minute goals against Bristol City and Swansea last season.
5. Huddersfield 0-1 Crewe - my first visit to Leeds Road, the game that changed my life.

I've always said that as a journey, supporting Town is a trip of a lifetime, fantastic!

[turbo2]

Barnsley 1-0, 29,801 fans. great game
L**ds 1-0 Milk Cup. Need say no more
Newport County. 1-0. 3rd div promotion.
Man City 10-1. Just had to be there
Man City 0-0. Cup replay same season. Great atmos

[panasonicgeese]

As an adopted Town supporter for the last 5/6 years sorry if mine are a bit mainstream

1. Millenium Stadium v Mansfield

2. Play-off at home 2-2 v Lincoln Edwards scoring with 7-8 mins to go!

3. Chelsea

4. 3-2 at home to Swansea. Pav wins it in the 90th from the spot and Fatboy sees red ;D

5. 3-2 at home (again) V Brentford. Legend and Danny S end the game in dramatic fashion with 2 late late goals.

[arnhemterrier]

Birmingham relegation - It still haunts me to this very day. And always will.
Peterborough play off - First season supporting HTFC, and utter heartbreak. Shudders.
Mansfield - Oh the drama of that day. And the sheer relief...
Lincoln - Thought it was to be another Peterborough. But the slow motion of seeing the ball brake loose and a town player running onto it. Then realising it was Edwards and knowing it was destined to go in will remain with me forever
Stockport away autoglass - Knew something special was brewing, an immense win under the circumstances.

[kilroy]

i forgot to mention Chelsea in the league cup when Kenny Irons pulled one out from somewhere!

What a result that was!

1 - brentford away in the playoff semi, singing del shannons 'runaway' at the end.
2- dave cowling putting the ball in the bas*@$rds net.
3- dave cowling putting the ball in newports net.
4- dave cowling putting the ball in my cousins face in the cowshed and breaking his nose.
5- giving shearers blackburn the runaround at ewood.

honorable mentions for other great away atmospheres at peterborough in the first leg and very early in warnocks reign at rotherham where the great mark wells scored the winner in a 3-2 win.

[motherwellterrier]

mine are

1) Wembly in 95 - my first season watching Town and promoted
2) Cardiff in 2004 - if for for THAT penalty if nowt else ;D
3) Forest away - 99-00 season - believe it or not - my first ever away win (after four seasons of watching)
4) Lincoln in play off semi - from depths of despair at half time to rocket ronnie edwards - i can still that goal flying in
5) York away 03-04 season - two goals in last two minutes - great atmosphere

not going to mention bad memories - wadsworth et al

[HuddsTerrier]

Mine would be

Worse ...

Brum relegation, the lowest I've ever been after a Town game (dishonourable mentions to Fulham away in 2000, Barnsley home 2006 and Peterborough at Leeds Road in the play offs)

Strangest ...

Leeds Road final game. Strange atmosphere especially as all the fans lined the outside of the pitch as the game came to a close

Elation ...

Cardiff, on a knife edge because of the pens, could have gone either way. At Wembley I knew as soon as Stewy hit the bar from 30 yards it was going to be our day (although my heart missed a beat at the time!)

Occasion...

The second visit to Wembley (well we didn't win the first time!)

Best Cup game

Seeing Town beat Chelsea in the League Cup and the atmosphere in the FA Cup, truly rocking (only one that comes close was Middlesbrough away in the League Cup in the mid 90's)

Fav derby game...

Beating Bradford 3-2 at Valley Parade with Nico punching Windass in front of the Kop before saving a pen!

Best comeback ...

Bury four all at Gigg Lane (although I enjoyed the Lincoln comeback more in 2004 even if it was less impressive goals wise). Another cracking comeback was when we pulled three back across Bradford, after Waddle had cupped his ear to the Kilner after he'd scored from a corner!


That's seven so I'll stop there!
