The last goal gave a good view of our away support, decent turn out, was at the game and we were a remote second best. 

Agreed, there was definitely a feeling of it was just good to be taking part in the play offs only a couple of years after being in div 4.  I enjoyed both games even though we lost.  15k on at both, at least double the usual crowds, great following for the 2nd leg, and didnt have to get a ticket in them days.  If it had been a weekend match and we'd taken a lead into the 2nd leg we would have taken far more too.

I remember driving with my dad after a gcse exam finishing at 4pm.

we were late ish and a pub on the outskirts of Nottingham was packed with Bolton.

they scored early and the away end just kept filling up

We finished a good few points behind them.

 

was that the same season we were 3-0 down at home at half time and drew 3-3 ?

 

No, that was our 1st season back in Div 3 when we finished mid table.  JT and Morgan scored in that game and were replaced by "Bros" the year after.  Tomo's equaliser was a superb free kick, he was quality from dead balls.

We beat them 3-0 at Burnden in the March , and then downhill from there in . I think we only confirmed the play offs on the last day . Notts ended up being 18 points clear of us .

If I remember we had a good 20 minutes or so after half time without creating loads . I remember Cherry's save from Philliskirk seemed better at the time than what it appears on the highlights

Should have been 4-1 with Kelly's free kick; what a night.  Even though we'd beaten Liverpool/Everton etc, the Highbury win was stand out because that Arsenal side just didn't lose FA Cup ties, they virtually owned it. 

Those were the days when slightly injured players would play in a cup tie and miss a league game instead, it was the cup holders at full strength.

Pissed up at teatime, late into the game.

Happy days.

Wow what a night it was ... I was amazed when I got there how many Wanderers fans were in the clock end. 

I'd arranged a meeting at our Turnham Green office in Chiswick and an arsenal supporter in the office told me to follow his car to the ground. He was picking up a mate in central London to take to the game , so I had an impromptu city tour ... We got a street parking spot on the A1 too. 

 

I think it is my top away game following the wanderers ...better than Blackburn promotion and just about beats Hull on the Friday night. The Andy Walker goal in front of us all was amazing. Great post match celebrations in the clock end , helped by the big screen replaying the goals.

 

The Arsenal supporter even waited to escort me back to my car , shook my hand on a great win.

I drove home to Nottingham up the M1 with a big smile on my face.

I was tempted to go into work in my wanderers top !!

That finish from McAteer.  Love it. No pissing about. 

Probably mentioned this on here before but I listened to the match report on Radio 5 and it was possibly the worst ever description of a goal. Made it sound like McAteer had tapped into an empty net from 5 yards after we hit the post. Couldnt believe it when I saw the goal, what a finish.
