[Wiggy]

Mine there are quite a few but my top ones are:

Best:2-1 Win at Wolves in mid 90's.John Mc Ginley scored 2.Nearly a punch up betweeen Colin Todd and Mark Mc Ghee.

      Winning Div 1 Championship at Maine Road

      Playoff final at Wembley against Reading 4-3 to us

      1-1 at Vitória Guimarães,Portugal.My first ever European game watching the Wanderers.

Worst: 0-0 at Oxford in the mid 90's.A nightmare journey and very heavy rain all through the match.

          2-2 at Swindon in the mid 90's. Never ever been so cold at a match.Believe it was -10.

          2-0 loss at Chelsea 97.Final day relegation.

          Grimsby mid 90's Boxing Day,gate's closed 1 hour before kick off.Had to go to a pub car park to listen the match on
          the car radio.Cost a bomb for nothing.

my worst experience EVER as a white has to be THAT game against stoke at Wembley...

im not old enough to have seen us go down to the 4th div after losing to aldershot (i think it was them) so im afraid it has to be the tonking we got of that lot from sturrk...

There were too many fantastic experiences between 1989-2000 to mention them all. The ones that stand out:

1) Getting promoted from Division 4 at Wrexham in 89, we went into the game needing the two teams above us to drop points....they did and we won.

2) Dancing on the Boothferry Park pitch at Hull when McGinlay scored the late winner.

3) The Wolves Play-Off games

I could go on.

Yes, we'll probably go down this season but some of us will still have the memories of the 90s.

Can't say im not slightly jealous of not witnessing those times, they sound great....especially the 1st one.

Don't be too jealous, because you'd have to be in your 30's to have witnessed them!

But yes, even though there were less of us, football seemed to mean more back then.

Love watching clips of the old burnden park days, just something looks so much more better than the football now a days.

One of my best memories was the win against United at the reebok under megson, the atmosphere at the end of 2nd half on a cold dark night was amazing the whole stadium was buzzing at full time.

and still does, in the lower leagues

You're probably right, but we'll no doubt find out in the coming years.

Id say this time next year at this rate.

Footballers in the championship don't seem to cry and moan like the top flight players, if a hard challenge goes in on them, they just get on with it.

With how soft we seem at the moment I think that will be our main down fall if we went down.

Sounds about right.

Must admit i have started watching a lot more of the Championship and other lower league games on Sky, rather than Premiership as it is more entertaining.  Last Saturday was great with no televised Prem games on either Sky (UK) or ESPN (UK) as Sky only showed Championship games and enjoyed watching them much more - passion, hunger, love of the game - all missing from Premiership.

(p.s.  although the 3pm Prem ko's were covered by our European neighbouts TV channels - Sky (Italy & Germany), Sport 1 (Holland & Poland), Canal + (France & Spain) and, of course, Setanta)

Three worst memories when I was living in London and watching a lot of away games (not that we usually got much in London) were all games in the old Second Division:

1977 - being robbed by a blatant handball goal at Charlton and missing out on promotion
1983 - losing 4-1 at Charlton after taking the lead and getting relegated
?  - watching the most one sided game I have ever seen at Millwall (they were bottom and we were top) and them scoring the only goal of the game the one and only time the action left their half.

Best memories include beating Reading 4-3  in the play-offs and the last game at Burnden beating Charlton 4-1.

Worst memory was losing to Tranmere in the Play-Off Final. Awful day.

My worst experience of Etc was during an English GCE in May 1986, I'm still traumatised.

[Anjum Saleem]

Wrexham away in 89,got it on video by Roadrunner somewhere stashed in the house,the celebrations after the win and the pitch invasion go on for ages and are as clear as the day. You can see everyones faces the atmosphere was electrifying. In fact there is a Women and many other fans swinging on the crossbar just before the whole goalpost collapses, Is that you Natasha?

Best experiences: Reading Play-Off Final, Hull away, Tottenham at home in the cup (thrashed them), Swindon at home for the abuse we gave Steve McMahon from manny rd. Bayern Munich. Isle of Man pre season tournaments just for the social side. Plenty of others over the last 30 years or so.
Worst experiences: Tranmere play off final (in fact any game we lose against those bastards). Losing 4-3 at Watford when we were 3-0 up with 20 minutes or so to play. 0-6 against the Scum. Mind you, I would take that rather than the shíte that we have served up this year. Finding out that the players left the field today at Fulham, laughing and joking, well that probably tops the lot.
