Newport County at Elm Park 1985. I believe that 2-0 win was a record number of wins from the start of the season, although I'm sure someone will correct me!

Division 3 winners same season. Having beaten Derby 2-0

The goal that never was

Which one?

Twice was a championship after beating Derby, only here to see the Champions rings true.

All except 2 of those, plus seeing us beat Barnsley 7-0 and West Hame 6-0. (Strangely enough those were the only games I've ever watched from behind the goal at the respective grounds!)

[The 17 Bus]

Saw 6-0 v West Ham, also the two abandoned games, Bury at EP and Leicester at the Madstad. The list will go on and on.

I can see why you say that - actually it coincided with me getting a job which meant I could have saturday afternoons off.

we beat Derby 1-0 that year, and it didn't (quite) clinch the title for us.

If you were there, how could you not know it was away?

They were at home when they beat Newport 2-0, may well have done it away too. Leafing thru that heaven on earth book thingy, there's a bit about it in there. It seems to imply that we were at home when we made that record number of wins. I was just looking for some clarification.

WE WERE AWAY.

[The 17 Bus]

look at page 290 in that book, beat the record, so 12 wins at Newport, then a 1-0 at Lincoln for no 13, followed by a disappointing 2-2 draw with Wolves at EP, but still a record and hopefully will be for a long time yet.

Wembley Play Off Final
The Home wins against Wolves - including THAT game where Archie scored twice after they cheated their way into the lead.

It wasn't too disappointing. Electric atmosphere, plenty of goals and an attedance several thousand above the ground limit...

[The 17 Bus]

disappointing in that we did not win it.

I'd always thought they were awful until I went to Ipswich this year and saw their version. Made the TVJs look like US champions.

A fitting way for it to end.

The Darlington result was really disappointing.

My point is, anybody who went to the match would know it was away regardless of what any book implies.
