I’d seen quite a few games that season, including much of the run in. But work meant I couldn’t do the Oxford clincher. Mrs C came with me for the Brighton game as my dad was in hospital. The crowd was a sell out of course (26k?) and it was a smashing day. We were in Churchmans and I couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for Brighton. Relegated with a poor team, outplayed, a toothpaste kit and sponsored by Nobo. At the end, pitch invasion. Mrs C was off before me and on we went. There’s a piece of my garden that will be forever Portman Road (‘acquired’ a lump of turf in 2000 too). Disgraceful. What a fun team that was to watch. There were lots of open games that season and despite the odd miserable performance, we were better than the rest. |  |
