I don't need anything to bring those memories back. That day is etched on my brain, and will always remain so clear.
Having said that though, I will enjoy a return trip to Edgar Street this season, it will feel like a pilgrimage - I didn't return for the Cup game. It will also be nice to watch a game where I cannot actuall SMELL the fear coming from my trouser region.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean there! Unless we're in the relegation zone and our last match is hereford!

Where's the option for "I was born but didn't go?" 
Exactly. There was a thread on here a week or so ago discussing the importance of that result and I was amazed to find quite a few people had the opinion: "Naah, it wouldn't have been the end of the world if we'd gone into the Conference, we'd have been ok."
Well who knows? I'm glad we didn't have to find out though.

Seriously?
Hereford bring back BAD memories?
Quite the opposite...who remembers how they were feeling at the moment the final whistle blew? WONDERFUL memories!

Even if it's a relegation dogfight, my trousers will smell of roses in comparison. It would mean relegation at worst this season, but 10 years ago, relegation would have been the end of this club. FACT.
As a league club, there was more pressure on the authorities to bend the ruling about leaving the county for home games. As a non-league club we'd have been left to go to hell.
Was gonna say, not convinced the memories would be bad!

How can it be a bad memory, we survived...to be fair, I wasn't there, I was several thousand miles away on a different continent.

Yer , I kno I just meant that we almost went down into the conference which surely is a bad memory. I agree that at the end of the game there was elation and nothing else

What will help to make the memories particularly vivid is the fact that Edgar Street hasn't changed a bit since our game there in 1997.
Our game at Edgar Street next season will certainly bring back bad memories for Hereford fans.
How will the Hereford fans treat us when we visit next season? They are still bitter about what happened that day eleven years ago.
Did anyone go to both the do-or-die game and the FA Cup game at Hereford the following season?

They are still VERY bitter about it - not so much for the fact that the table at the end of the season never lies, more for the fact that 'everyone' (media, neutrals etc) seemed to be on Brighton's side that day, and no-one gave a stuff for their plight.
I kind of see what they mean, but then again, demotion to the Conference was never going to spell the end of Hereford United Football Club. Our relegation, on the other hand, would have meant the end of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.
No-one's asking them to take on board or understand that reality - why should they care too much, after all? However, that is what the reality was.

Having been out of the loop for so long, what was the story behind the Hereford game of that year.

Hereford fans might be bitter about the general indifference to their plight that year. But we are bitter about the way the FA treated us that season and the season before. At least Hereford didn't have the FA doing their level best to destroy them.
