I didn't know there were so many goldfish jokes. That must be the best one ever then. | |

Yes.
I was living abroad, in the days before internet-on-your-phone, Jeff Stelling and news everywhere. As such, if you weren't at home on your PC, you only had BBC World Service on long wave radio to rely upon.
And so it was, after a day at the beach, and driving home on the Sunday, waiting desperately (but pessimistically) for the results to come on.
My heart had predicted that Bradford would bottle it, but that we'd end up drawing to Sheffield United anyway, thus handing Bradford promotion.
And finally, the announcer came on....
"Ipswich Town 4, Sheffield United 1."
Yesss! What? Yessss!We'd done our bit, and blimey, 4-1 was a stuffing. Must have been great. Who scored? What happened? Pitch invasion?
The other scores filtered through.....
Con...cen...trate.....
And then...
"Wolverhampton Wanderers 2..."
Bloody helll, YESSSSS!!!!!!!! 2 goals, we've done it!!!! We're up. Bradford have lost. Get in!!!!!
"...Bradford City 3"
Sinking stomach. Blood pressure drops to zero. Downs comes a curtain of despair. No words. Not even 'Sh*t.' Just utter, utter despair.
There wasn't ever any real, open hope. Suffolk pessimism doesn't allow it. But that doesn't mean there was no room for despair.
Still, a few years, and lots of heartbreak later, it was bloody worth it. The best match ever, beating Sam Allardarse, Wembley, Reujser...
Ahhhhh, sighh.......

You could see the fans pessimism as Naylors 4th went in, even he knew the game was up.
Strange atmosphere given we beat the Norwich of the north by some hammering, only to feel extremely dejected.
But, alas, as you say fast forward a few years later, that night at PR against Bolton, one of, if not my most memorable games involving ITFC | |

Paul Simpson hit the angle of post and bar with a free kick in pretty much the last minute of the other game, would have made it 3-3. |  |

It was a similar scenario in 2000 when David Johnson got our first against Walsall and we were briefly going up automatically rather than Man C but by the time he got our second it was irrelevant.
That one turned out well in the end though.
In answer to OP.yes I remember that day. |  | | |
