Honestly can't remember three consecutive games I've been more excited about. It's gonna be immense!

Swindon.
Swindon.
Bristol City.

Bristol City.

But strictly speaking, you can't have been anticipating the Bristol City game before we'd beaten Swindon!

I just KNEW we'd beat Swindon.

Seriously though, going into the semi-final I was pretty confident there were 3 games coming up. However, I'd be lying if I didn't admit there were times in the 2nd leg that I was doubting it.

LOL, but not all the way from kick-off. Even at 0-1, I was pretty confident.

They played us off the park that night. Must have been gutted.

Yes, they did, but have you ever been more confident going into a penalty shoot-out? The Swindon players just looked (understandably) inconsolable, and they were never going to win that shoot-out.

What an amazing night that was.

Prime example of why fans should never leave before the end of the game when watching Brighton

There were some great stories about that at the time - including one fan who was on his way to the bus stop, heard the roar, assumed it was Swindon fans celebrating, got on the bus and got all the way home without knowing the result.

It's here! Woo-hoo!!
