I'm a bit surprised no one else has mentioned the Reading FA Cup replay in 1989.
For me that was one of the best atmosphere at a Town game ever. A Wednesday night with an 8 o'clock kick off, They were a Division above us and most people thought we'd had our chance at home when we drew 1-1. Plus, with the 5th Round draw having already been made we knew that the winner had a trip to the FA Cup Holders Wimbledon.
I expected there to be 3 or 400 Town fans there but we filled the away end (must have been best part of 1500). It was just before the mass Harry Haddock craze took off but there were loads of different inflateables there that night and the Town fans sang for almost all the game.
Shaun Cunnington put us 1-0 (the image of him climbing the fence in front of the Town fans will always stay with me), but with time running out they equalised (I think it was Steve Moran). The Town players were dead on their feet and if it had gone to Extra-Time there was only going to be one winner so when Kevin Jobling was put through one on one late on and kept his nerve to score, that was one of the most celebrated Town goals ever I think.
It definitely left a lifelong impression on me that night.

Yes, I was theer that night and can still see Jobling running through to score . Great moment. In terms of celebration I remeber being close to where Macca came over and celebrated when he scored at Cambridge a few yeras ago. Fantastic memories. I'd also throw into the pot the night we knocked Villa out of the League Cup at Villa Park. It was a two legged afair and we drew 1-1 to go through. Actually we Town fans are lucky to have so many great memories. I think we may get a few more from the current team. I can see us going up this year and going straight to the top of L2 next season.! |

Just for the record, the 6-5 win over Burnley was a game of two pisspoor defences and nothing special IMHO of course.  |

Was that the game where Kev Moore got sent off after we opened up a 3-0 lead? |

We beat them away 3-2 twice that season in The FA Cup and later on in the league. I remember the FA Cup game, they were 2-1 up with 90 minutes up but we scored twice in injury time. They were just announcing on the tannoy details of tickets and travel to Sheffield United in the next round. The 3 Kevins scored for us that night. (Moore, Kilmore and Drinkell) It was the league game I think later that season when we were 3-0 up and Kev Moore got sent off. |
