I bought the DVD and was watching it a couple of weeks ago and saw my mum on the pitch at the end. That was probably the last time we went together, she died in September, such a lovely memory to keep, thanks Rovers That's a wonderful memory. Very precious.

We all stick together when needed. Hope the dvd can bring back good memories. Up the Gas. Bags.

Same. That's the bit that always sticks out to me and makes my hairs stand on end when I think back to that day. If only you could bottle that feeling. That roar rattled the foundations of my soul. It was so powerful that our ancestors heard it. I've never danced, pranced and cried with so many complete strangers before, and people say this game is just 22 men and a football......where else in life does one feel this alive? I felt like my entire lifetime following the Gas was leading up to that moment, and even in retrospect, all those years of pain were suddenly worth it. My loans were repaid. I was in profit. Don't get me started on that day, it was as close to a fairytale season as one could ask for, with a Hollywood blockbuster ending. You couldn't write that game. Too right. I'll be amazed if I experience anything even half as incredible as that day as a Rovers fan again. Wasn't around for 1990 but the two Wembley promotions (07, 15) don't even come close for me. Everything about it was perfect.

Is that the best ever bit of Radio to come out of Radio Bristol City ?
Still get the shivers now listening to it
