Nicky Forster scored to keep us in League One

Incredible. Then Gus arriving near the end of 2009....and the rest is history.

Incredible scenes. ...

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

What a first match for my youngest son!

 

[Austrian Gull]

The last game of the legend that is Doug Loft.

 

[Simster]

Brighton and Stockport *could* be SIX divisions apart next season.

I miss him. Cultured beyond his years. Wouldn't have looked out of place here last season (or earlier this season). Maybe not now. But I still miss him.

I almost cried at the relief of not playing in the bottom tier again, although much of the hard work to stay up against the odds in the couple of games prior to Stockport. Gary Hart was a legend again in the end of season run. I am glad you posted this, gives perspective, although the majority of us are greedy and want PL football next season!

 

[surferdave]

wasn't there a pitch invasion at the game?

Amazing. Am I dreaming.

 

[Napper]

Harty was the man in that run in . He was incredible . I've no doubt without him we would of dropped .

 

[Scampi]

Seems like another lifetime now

Doug Loft was complete and utter Sh1te. I think you meant to say he wouldn't have looked out of place on a field playing Sunday league.

Andy Whing was player of the season that year. I repeat, Andy Whing.

Only 1 out if the 9 I thought was wrong to let go

 

[Paskman]

I was at Hereford when Loft scored that spectacular overhead kick- seems another world away now. I think we were 5 pts from safety at the time.

 

[hillbilly]

@surfer dave - Yes, and someone in nicked Slade's cap.

That was Tommy Fraser

 

[BlockDpete]

And who remembers Slade's "Dad" dance to the goal?

Such slim margins in sport. If we had gone down, would we be at the Amex playing in League 2, or worse?

BTW, my mate ref'd Nicky Forster last week as he's playing for Lingfield. Played a blinder, apparently

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Harty was fantastic in that run in.


Bristol Rovers away that year is up there with one of my favourite away matches.

All about opinions isn't it! I maintain that at times his play hinted at a genius bubbling just below the surface., just waiting to be discovered.

 

[El Turi]

That really was a great escape and I will always be grateful to Russell Slade for keeping us up. Putting Hart and Owusu together upfront was a masterstroke and the reason we didn't go down.
