    Any fond memories from the last game of the season?

    Obviously 2013 under Flicker stands out - Luke Steele tapping it about the area of the last 5 minutes. I remember playing cricket that day and listening to the radio as I'd already got out (obviously). The most exciting bit of non-football football ever.

    I also remember watching us get smashed away at West Brom live on Sky whilst everyone was in fancy dress. Think that was the last game, but I could be wrong.

    Obviously some lad called Clark Oduor sent us loopy last year also.

    Any more?

    Plymouth away when we stopped up. Great weekend for 'various' reasons. I'll not go into more details for 'various' reasons.

    Oxford away, '97 promotion season . Everyone absolutely wa*kered, even before they'd set off. That includes the team!! Watty said that every time a cross came in, there were 3 balls so he just went to catch the middle one. Fancy dress, lovely day, wayyy too much ale and a 5-1 defeat. We were in the ba*tard Prem!!!!!!!!!!

    That day at WBA away did we got done by 7?!? Probably 2005-6 ish?

    If so there's a story behind it...... I was camping (tents not acting homosexual) just past Pickering. Had an hour on my own away from my lad and ex-wife. So found a pub to watch it just up the road up the valley in the vale of York.

    Who walks in........ Terry Nutkins dad Sir Eric of Winstanley. I introduced myself as he knew my Dad from back in his journalist days. We sat and watched the match together. We got done 7-0 if I remember correctly. Then i reminded him last time I saw us get thrashed at the Hawthornes he was in temp charge when Clarke was sacked.

    Anyway that hour ended up been 564 minutes long.

    That’s the longest extra time in the history of BFC but typical I’ll bet she didn’t believe you .

    Can anyone remember the BFC fans photo that they were sat on the front fence and SKY used it as their promotional picture for the season? There's a framed pic of it in Manx.

    Most embarrassing we needed to win three nil to take Boros place in the playoffs or win and hope Brighton lost at Ipswich .
    We started the game all over Boro and were looking good for a three goal deficit .
    News going around Brighton were losing which the players must have picked up on as we took the foot off the accelerator and Boro were happy with that .
    Final whistle and a pitch invasion and we couldn’t understand why Boro fans were laughing at us till we heard the news Brighton equalised .
    Felt a right tit

    A few. But special mention for last season. I was having a few Jars. in a Salou beer garden, having gave up hope of staying up whilst listening to the match. And turned off with 30 mins left. Turned back on Just as we scored the winner and saw Wigan had fecked up. Everyone within 50 mts. Got the gist of my delight. :) :)

    When we played Middlesbrough at the end of the 1990/91 season, we had to better Brighton's result. We won 1-0 and Brighton were drawing 1-1. Some of our fans were on the pitch celebrating and it came over the tannoy system we'd made it into the Play Offs. Unfortunately, the Brighton match hadn't finished. My mate had his transistor radio on and the Brighton full back Wilkins scored a winner from about 30 yards in something like the sixth minute of injury time. We were truly gutted and tried to mention to some of fans on the terracing what had happened, but they continued celebrating and refused to believe us. So we decided to leave the ground, feeling totally deflated despite all the celebrating continuing.

    He did indeed. We had a really good side that season, Machin worked wonders in his first full season and it was such a shame we lost out in the most cruel way.

    I was at Portsmouth when we laid down and died, relegating Huddersfield in the process.

    I am not sure we'd have got out intact if Portsmouth went down.
