Think back to when we scrapped past Shrewsbury with a lucky deflection who had they finished better would of been a long way off by the time we scored. Also Blackburn almost relegated out the championship yet turned us inside out. We have a lot of work to do, get behind Parky this next season as it’s going to be tough and I’d be more than chuffed with a top 10 finish. Unless we can get 6 or 7 top signings in and they fit straight in it’s going to be a big step up. But we will get the championship minimum when we are ready.

I've been going over 30 years (missed the glory days) and the best I can remember is finishing behind Fulham on goal difference and missing out on the play offs. A season anywhere close to that will do me

Bristol Rovers wasn't it?

Didn't we beat Southend 3 nil and Barry Hayles scored for Rovers at the death to get them into the play offs?

Yeah that's it, we won at Southend and Bristol Rovers scored late on and we missed out on goal difference.

It was the 1997-1998 season

Bristol Rovers, Fulham, Wrexham & Gillingham all finished on 70 points. We missed the last play off place to Fulham on goals scored (55 to their 60)

Just checked, Barry Hayles header to beat Brentford to overtake us into the playoffs. Remember watching the results coming in on the tv in one of the shops in town with a couple of mates.
