So a choice of Preston, Chesterfield, Sheff United or Swindon as another away next season - each of them would be a new ground for me

Really ?

Yeah some good memories of all those grounds, been a bit tasty at all of them especially Swindon in the League Cup & Chesterfield in the 80's inside the ground!

I was in the home end with my old fella for that Swindon LCY semi away

 

I was only a nipper but If I remember correctly there were a fair few other bolton in their too

 

Was that the premier league Swindon side or had they been relegated by 95?

They had been relegated by then.

 

IIRC we played them away in the league towards the end of that season too, think Tommo scored in a one nil win.

Yep went to that.

 

Their PA called us wankers over the speaker system.

The play-off timetable hasn't turned out too well:

 

Middlesbrough/Brentford play on Friday evenings, and Norwich/Ipswich play on Saturday lunchtimes.

I thought that.

 

Mind you east anglia coppers are probably glad the bumpkin derby is an early kick off.

We were too

 

Missed out on away end tickets so my Dad went down there at daft o'clock on a Sunday morning to queue for tickets in their end

 

Madness

 

Would never bother these days

 

First time I met Gumbo at the match was the cup game at Chesterfield early 90's....IIRC it was the 2nd round? Think we won 3-2?

We must have missed them too, I remember my Dad ringing up Swindon ticket office and getting them sent to a friends in Oxford so he didn't raise suspicions with our address

 

I've done a few home ends in my time due to missing out on tickets - like you say, couldn't imagine bothering with all that now

Wiki says we won 4-3

 

I knew there was a reason I didn't go; we were on our honeymoon.
