That was the game we took 7000 isnt it, the first of the "£15" games against them.  Walking away from the ground with the throngs of fans packing the road, I remember it felt unreal, right up near the top of the league, on a roll.  We didnt even play well, it felt lucky in truth that day, but things seemed to come easy to us then.  We seemed to have a habit of getting "jammy" away wins in that era (eg the famous 1-0 at City - Speed pen) - in recent years backs to the wall away wins seem impossible to come by.

This was in the middle of an odd few years between us and them when neither side seemed able to record an home win over the other. 

It's one of the local derby grounds that has been a happy hunting ground for us over the years. Probably our biggest following there other than the famous 78 visit. 

Third on that list would probably be the 3-1 defeat in 95/6 with Bolton fans over the home end. Celebrations everywhere when Scott Green scored ours. 

Anyway ... Ivan Campo, Ivan Campo!

Lip reading Nolan to Mike Dean 'that's three penalties in two games you useless twat' or summat like that. 

Mike Dean loved giving penalties against us. I think it was him who reffed at the Reebok when he gave Blackburn a last minute penalty to equalise.

No surprise seeing him as a Tranny fan. Once a wanker....

The one that really upset the dingles was a bit before this and hasn't been mentioned yet. The 0-1 when Dioufy tripped over his own feet to secure the winning pen. Presumably Dean wasn't the ref that neet!

Steve Bennett - got his revenge next time he reffed us, sent Diouf off after 5 mins or similar against Arsenal in the qtr final of F.A cup
