About this time of the day I bumped into Gregs and he gave Hugo the Younger a Mars bar. Just about the only bit of the day I enjoyed until Manse scored! the good bit was that after that I bumped in to kev and Dave who had bought an insane amount of beer with them which they were never gonna get through before kick off.... between the 3 of us and Clare problem solved good lads them

I vowed to never go on a club coach after that one. Stuck in that bleedin' car park for an hour at least! If it was coach number one he probably got lost looking for the way out of the car park It was a nightmare. 40, 50 coaches trying to make their way into a single lane exit from the car park. Still, we won!

Most pressurised day of any in 55 years watching the Gas. Had to win, didn't mattter how, thankfully we did - just. Job done but day not enjoyed, just endured. Don't understand these "great day out" quotes cos quite frankly I have had better.
Anyway huge thanks to the lads - Ellis & Manse in particular!
UTG & Never again!

Oh come on, looking back, it was a fantastic day. 47,000 fans, Wembley, some heart stopping moments, going 1 nil down within the first 10 minutes, then the equaliser, then to score all 5 pens to go straight back up. What better great day out have you had? Apart from Rovers Shrewsbury?

I know us gasheads fall out from time to time on here or on a Matchday (occasionally) but we really do have a quality fan base to take that many fans to a conference final is exceptional, when my lad walked into the stadium to find our seats his face was a bloody picture , all he could see was a sea of blue and white !! Getting goose bumps just thinking about it sat here at work !!!!

What better great day out have you had? Apart from Rovers Shrewsbury? OK it was an evening but NOTHING beats 2nd May 1990! I could hardly concentrate on work all day and then South Bristol were so confident they would win that they even got t-shirts made declaring themselves champions. Then the game started....... For the Conference Playoff Final, I hated the whole thing until the last penalty - and I wasn't even there as I was away that weekend and watched it on BT Sport - it was horrible!

I watch those scenarios from the official site, fans view (ours & theirs), from the beginning, from the last few minutes, all the time. Hairs on end every time.

Was anyone in any doubt when Mansell stepped up? I just kept saying "he will score, he will score" I think it was when Balanta had scored his that I first started believing we are going to win this as was confident he'd miss. I wasn't sure Taylor was going to score and I think it's the only pen their keeper got a hand to
