What was the best match you EVER saw at the County Ground??

Its a hard question in truth ...

Id have to say the win over Gillingham back in the play offs 2nd leg ... Coyne and Henry with a late equaliser ... unless u can remind me of a better one

Quality wise I remember the Hoddle inspired play off semi win against tranmere 3-1 with fondness.

For satisfaction the last minute win over vale in the last relegation season with a 95th minute winner from graz meant loads cos we hadn't won for so long. Or the QPR win in the premiership for the same reasons.

When we did Huddersfield 6-0 in a midweek game was sweet, so was the peterborough game when danny scored that goal.

I'm probably not old enough to remember the very best quality matches of yesteryear that people like reg wax lyrical about

that 3-1 v Tranmere indeed rates very highly .. especially as I rushed to make the kick off from Didcot when my junior under 11 team which i was managing won the Vale League Boys Cup 5-0 against Didcot .. i remember winning it .. grabbin the trophy and literally running out of the ground!

Anyone got any idea how I could watch Danny's goal against Peterborough? I've got my memories from the game but would love to see the goal again!

3-1 Tranmere was superb. 2-1 against Tottenham was a great game too.

The play-offs in 90, against Blackburn, when we won 2-1, promotion
seemed so close it was scary.

The town end was on form that day.

I remember when we beat Leicester 5-2, think it was the season before we won promotion to the prem and think it kept us up - that was a good game.

Also when we battered Stoke 6-0 when Ossie was in charge. The stoke fans were on the bank getting soaked - conga-ing in and out of the bogs and celebrating our goals cos they wanted their manager sacked!

3-1 against Watford in 1991 was a classic.

The leicester 5-2 was my fourth game ever, and the first win I ever saw, it was 1990-91 season, I think Steve Foley scored a hat trick?

does the 6-0 count though? If I remember rightly Huddersfield had half their squad out with flu, but the FA wouldn't let them call the game off. So we spanked their youth team.

Walters did score a screamer though

I enjoyed it when we lost to Middlesborough (2-1?) when they had Ravanelli, Emerson etc playing after their relegation from the Premiership. We were top at the time (as we'd played loads more games than anyone else, and noone good!) so there was loads of "We are top of the league" chanting etc.
