Yeah... Different rules in the semis to what they had in the final.
Gills 3 Sunderland 2
Sunderland 4 Gills 3
Gills through on away goals... a rule which was abandoned for the Final.... bizarre... not complaining though...
Was the final also 2 legs in those days? |

Like the Tranmere semi final, no one who was there will ever forget that Gillingham trilogy... 10,000 Town fans at Selhurst for the replay.... at that point, far and away the most Town fans I'd seen in one place outside of the CG... |

Tranmere away.
I was at the home semi final and at Wembley. I couldn't go to the away match at Tranmere so was listening to 5 Live (or whatever it was called in those days) for updates as they had the Portsmouth Leicester game as their main match. I remember we were 2-1 down and they crossed to Prenton Park just as Hoddle had committed the foul for the penalty, and they talked about it for what seemed like ages before announcing that Swindon had scored an equalizer a couple of minutes before. |

Not sure how many we took to Wolves in the league cup semi- final, but was certainly one of the biggest before then that I’d seen |

At the time it was reported that we took 8000 to Arsenal and around 10000 to Wolves |

Was a beautiful night. Especially as I'd just moved to Kent the year before! Bragging rights! |

Some great memories in this thread.
All remembered as clear as if they happened only 1 year ago.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
