Not sure about that, even though I cried on the way home after the Palace defeat, half expecting that we may have blown it despite only needing a point v Mansfield. We may have a slightly younger squad but we would have missed out on our most successful season, promoted as champions, FA & League Cup QF's, Welsh Cup, a host of great cup wins, fantastic goals and some of our largest crowds for the last 50 years. We were surely a better team/squad after the acquisition of Cartwright, Davies, & McNeil and the gate money over our last 2 seasons in Division 3. That was the most dissapointing few days of supporting Wxm, despite a cracking season, but the following season more than made up for it, our greatest hour and made Wxm really put themselves on the football map.
