The Journalist Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think what people often forget (understandably!) is how good the game had been even at 4-2. Mansfield went in front, only for us to equalise inside 14 seconds and then go ahead. They then came from behind to lead for a second time, having a man sent off and a penalty saved - albeit converted on the rebound - even before the late drama. And it was bottom v fourth in the league too! As daft as this'll sound, if it was a Premier League game it'd probably be regarded as one of the all-time classics in English football.

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Pretty sure I watched the conclusion to this via a muted TV showing Final Score in a shop on a trip to the Mall. I'm sure my friend and I got a few confused looks as we danced around cheering when the last goal popped up on the vidiprinter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityloyal473 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I was supposed to go to this. Was based (Army) in Catterick at the time and was gonna be travelling down with a colleague. He overslept; we couldn't then get to Darlington in time to get the train and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a match in the Leyland Daf / Auto Windscreens or whatever it was then back in the 90s away at Shrewsbury where we (in)famously took one fan! Remember meeting so many claiming to be that sole fan that you'd have thought we had a couple of thousand up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people were sitting in the stand next to the terrace where the sole fan was standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
