Grendel would have a field day if we still had all of those players !!
Great goal by George Thomas, though.

Forgot some of the shit players we used to have until you reminded me of Vinceti, I know he aint in this but just reminded me of him considering how shit we were

I thought he was overrated but didn’t begrudge his move to Newcastle. The relegation one though stung... we gave him chance to resurrect his career and he repaid us by jumping like a rat deserting a sinking ship.... to Motherwell

He was talented. He played 13 times in the Premier League, 9 times in the Europa League. You have to have something about you to do that. He went off to Rangers on loan where he didn't play due to a mystery illness. All gone downhill from there. It's a shame really, seemed a nice kid. He's only 27 now, should be just coming into his prime.

Plays in the same team as Rory Donnelly now.

Won 1.5k on us lifting the trophy. That 6 mins injury time was nearly the death of me

It was horrific. That Burge save at the end nearly made me wet myself.

Four years. Wow. I had to watch it at home as I was in and out of hospital but my son, wife and Dad went. It was a great day even on my own in the living room.
Weirdly I was much more nervous before the Checkatrade final than I was at the playoff final. Despite the stakes being so much higher, there was something about that game against Exeter that made me feel the result was never in doubt.

Whilst I did feel more confident about the Exeter game I was far more worried about it given the importance. I was pleased when we won the Checkatrade but it didn't mean that much to me. I know I certainly celebrated the Play Off final goals much more as did those around me.

Don’t get me wrong loved both days celebrated for ages.
point for me was, the nerves are good for the atmosphere. Exeter for me there was no nerves. And no concern

It was incredibly important for galvanising the support ready for the L2 season, a great day albeit I missed Thomas' goal as I was in the bar.

Same thing a year or so later, missed the Willis goal for the same reason. Funny thing was the TV in the bar was a few seconds behind, I'd started to walk back out to my seat, heard the roar and ran back to see the goal on TV. Some day.

I'm the opposite. I bet against my team, hoping that some financial bonus will mitigate the misery. Won thousands after betting against England in tournaments.
JPT final cost me £150. Never been so happy to lose money!

JPT final was a great feeling and one of the best days I’ve had supporting the club.
