His first game in charge away at Darlington was incredible. Felt like we had a gazillion shots on goal but couldn't score, they ventured into our half once and scored. 1-0 defeat but the players left to a standing ovation from the Town fans. A lot of new players in the side and you could see a couple of them looking at each other in disbelief to the fans reaction to an opening day defeat.
After the previous season, which was bloody dreadful, it was so refreshing to see a Town side attacking with such vigour.
Absolutely baking hot day, Town played some lovely, zippy, tippy-tappy football and Sestanovich in particular stood out as a real prospect. A young Sam Russell had a phenomenal game in the Darlo goal, as he almost always seemed to when he faced us. Even a late cameo appearance from Clint Marcelle wasn't enough to break through.

I think Marcelle's late effort at goal is still in orbit....16 and half years later.

Stockport in the JPT 2008. Pissing it down, Elding missing an open goal from an inch, and we won thanks to an own goal and a Jamie Clarke long ranger that the keeper threw in. Lovely stuff.

That was a fantastic night
Whymark scoring twice to put us in a commanding lead then they pulled one back
Then after that I recall there was a "moment".... everyone stopped for an offside that wasn't given and their player ran through one-on-one with Batch and somehow failed to score
Our win sealed our place in the second tier for another year and more or less meant Leicester couldn't get up, so singing "We'll be back again next year" at full time to their fans was brilliant!
My memory of that game, was the Town fans singing Nigel Batch England's England's No.1 On another note, I remember Terry Venables saying to George Kerr in the manager's office after we had beaten his London team,
'You should get your no. 8 (Bobby C ) to widen your office.

I remember that game well. As you say we played really well that day but just couldn't put the ball in the net and I came away feeling really confident about the season ahead. At the end of the season though we finished in 18th whilst Darlington just missed out on the play-offs on goal difference.

It was 6-years ago on Sunday, that we went a goal behind against league leaders Barnet, and ended up winning 3–1 at home, Ollie Palmer opening the scoring for us.

For some reason, one that sticks in my head is the Bristol Rovers game, where we won 4-3. I believe it would have been around 2007. Edit: Looking back, Disley got 2 for them that night.

Sheffield Utd away some time around 91 - 93 (my memories of the details are really sketchy).
Both teams were doing well and a draw would have been a good result for us. It was a good game but we were clearly the better team on the night and played some lovely football. I think we won 2-0 but it could have been 2-1.
I have seldom felt so happy after a game.

Don't know if it's less obvious but the win at Barnet that season was one of my favourite non-league days out. Inflatagate and Dis' last minute winner. What a day!
