i remember the Sheff U game but I was young. Was it 4-0?  Although we didn't go up as Champions automatic promotion was secured against Exeter in a squeaky bum finish after leading 2-0.   Those Play-off finals are great if you end up winning but the Bristol game was a buddy.  In a rare moment I was home at that time of the year, to go out like that.  A bad refereeing decision and that pony-tailed prat's pathetic attempt at a clearance after a bright Town start.  It was a long drive home.

I think he means the game in the Buckley era when we won 2-1 after being two up with Cockers goals. Nervewracking doesn't do it justice as one more Exeter goal would mean missing out on automatic promotion. Attendance about 14k

I can remember Exeter in 72 and Sheff Utd in 80. Amazing days etched in the memory, but in both seasons, it never felt like we had a champion side in October..

We've got Notts, Dagenham, Boreham Wood, Chesterfield, Solihull, Halifax (twice) and most likely a resurgent Southend coming up from the end of this month til the New Year, a much tougher run of fixtures than we've had. If we can get through those at around two points a game then I'll be more confident in us being serious contenders for top spot. We've had an impressive points haul so far, but we've also shown a potential soft underbelly at times, conceding three to Barnet, conceding five goals in an hour of football when reduced to ten men and just being plain awful the whole 90 minutes at Maidenhead. This has been in an easier run of games..

Understand people getting overexcited with having a decent side given the lack of success we've had over a long number of years, especially those that haven't had that feeling of winning a league before, but that true "champions" feeling never comes as quickly as this in a season..

I don't want to dampen down the enthusiasm at all, but a poll mid-October showing 48% thinking we're going to be champions shows a little too much on the expectation side with 33 games to go..


Pretty sure Mayaman was replying to my earler post LCL.. but most likely not even born then..
