So chuffed I found this just before tomorrow. It made the hairs stand up on my neck again. A long time since Town have made me feel like that!

Good luck fellas - and too all I wish you the most memorable of days. Cherish it folks - it's what being a football fan is all all about - days like tomorrow. 8)

that brings back some memories, love the barnes coach, lionel barnes used to give me a lift to football matches when i was a kid, top stuff mark.

That's great. Some God awful editing and cheesy music .. good ol' Swindon Cable.

Christ I'm nervous about tomorrow - come on fellas ... please don't let us down!

i'm so looking forward to tomorrow with just a hint of 'god please don't let us fuck it up'

it's gonna be an ace day (please please please).

Great day out,  but please get a point tomorrow - tha allotment will get a serious dig between 3 and 5 !!  :P  :P  :P

The first game my dad ever took me too, and probably the last. He don't like football. That's probably why I don't like him  :?

wow, didnt we have some good players then  :|

hmmm....

also, promotion from league fucking two doesnt deserve an open top bus parade round the streets!!!

Maybe a parade round the CG carpark. I dont think many people know we still have a football team here

i don't think it'd get the same turnout!

Good work Mr H. That's a pip of a dandy and no mistake.

Just coming up to 14 years ago but feels like about 10 days ago.

Some very nice shots of Old Wembley as well.

Nice to see Kevin Morris and Eddie Buckly there as well. God bless 'em.

Great days and a timely reminder of what a fucking great club this can be.

Good work fella 8)

but we diditn win on penalties tho did we?

no it was 4-3 after we scored a penalty for the last goal i think

I luv the play offs they are great I hope we lose tommorrow then we can go up in the play offs :-))(

weirdo.

mark, are you any relation to maggie? just another hanrahan i know, that's all.

Bought a tear to the eye watching that.

Still remember that whistle blowing. I was the happiest kid on the planet.

Funnily enough, emotion-wise, all I recall from the day was an overiding sense of justice being done. It was quite a numb sensation to be honest.

Three years earlier I remember standing in more or less the same Wembley spot and crying my eyes out with joy at the final whistle - I was only 13 and being a Londoner I had put up with so much shit from the locals about my allegiance to Town from as far back as I could remember. To have it all taken away from me (a week or so later)at that age was devastating - literally broke my heart hearing Hodgetts break the news (my uncle playing the radio feed down the phone to my disbelieving ears).

Another thing I remember was picking this kid up to shoulder height (he must have only been about five and his guardian that day clearly didn't care too much about whether he saw the action.) so he could watch the Bodin penalty. I vividly recall saying to him "watch this kid - don't ever forget what you are about to see. This is a magical moment..." Next thing, the ball hits the bottom corner, I ditch the kid and bundle my uncle! Beautiful!! I've often wondered what happened to that kid - whether he still supports Town etc.

Good God, I'm excited about today!

Come on fellas - down let us down. Swindon expects! :P

Nope. Nor am I related to either Brian or Will!

What a great clip Mark, cheers for the link.

What great days, that coverage of the civic hall reception nearly brought a tear to my eye.  I always remember Gorman singing "it's grand ole team..." and the crowd thinking what the hell is that song!

I love that squad!!

Whatever happened to a proper team bus, those were the days...
