In the away stand with my dad, plenty of delighted people around mewhen when it went in though so i'm guessing many others found it rathetr tough to get in the home end!
Fielding at third man with a radio earpice in my ear! My team mates nearly sent for the men in white coats when the final whistle went! Yes, I chickened out of going.
On the terrace under the away seats behind a bloody big concrete piller. Could not see a thing for 89 mins but I saw the goal as clear as anything
Went mental like never before, people falling over, stewards getting knocked every direction, fans hugging people they did not know. Fantastic.
The best pictures I have ever seen of the mental crowd reaction is on the fans united DVD. The camera angle is on the side of the pitch in the main stand. It points right into the away end after the goal looking down at the flat bit between the pitch and the terrace. Can this little bit be put onto the Great Cornholio's website for all to see please.
My brother didn't go, but he told me about the Tony Millard commentary alongside Gerry Ryan, and it sounds just priceless.
'RRRROOBBBBIE RRRREINELT. And the players go mad, and the fans go mad - AND WE GO MAD!' And they just went completely mad. On another part you can hear Gerry Ryan whispering in the background 'shoot, for fucks sake, shoot...' Cue Millard: 'And I'm sure the listeners won't mind Gerry getting a little bt excited there...'
Me, I was at the back of the stand behind and to the left of the goal. I never actually saw it go in, I just went absolutely beserk when everyone else did. 28 minutes later I was blubbing like a baby.
I actually gave up my ticket for the match to a work colleague as my wife had miscarried and the due date was the day of the game. I don't know who was more upset that day and we had a nice lunch at the pub over at Chailey (name escapes me) and then got down to some serious Radio / TV listening. I was completely overjoyed at the end of the day but my wife still carries that day with her for all the wrong reasons!
