Yes, I remember that. Our better players back then were often loan signings that just lasted a few weeks, Robinson and Adrian Thorpe springing to mind. I doubt the game would be played nowadays. I think we barely won again all season after that victory.

Second biggest game in their history.

The initial allocation was 1,014, of which 60 were left this evening.

I am no fan of Salford. However, I don't think they can catch us so I am happy for them to win.

Or preferably 0-1.

I think completely the opposite is true to be honest. You read a lot of superstitious guff about 'bogey teams', but the reason we have not beaten Swindon for a while is they were better than us when we were on our slide down the divisions. Back in the nineties the games were pretty evenly...

I noted on Quest that there were a few celebrating at the opposite end of the ground when Hawkes scored.

I thought we were the better side over the ninety minutes and should have won the game. Barrow did have two good chances in the final ten minutes when the game opened up and we were chasing a second goal. However, in the first sixty we were completely untroubled, and without us giving away a...

Any risk of a postponement ?

Not really farcical, as the tier system just ensures that the regulars that go to every game (like me) get a ticket irrespective of season ticket status. It is only a couple of hundred people. Even the Barrow game on Saturday went to general sale to season ticket holders.

The official figure is 42 (I counted 40 :)). Confirmed in our programme as 282 Forest Green supporters at Prenton Park on Saturday.

I am not sure Mellon did have a particularly bad game to be honest. The starting line up and formation was as everybody expected, and after about fifteen minutes he changed to 532 when it became obvious we were being overrun. Sometimes players simply don't perform and the opposition are better...

I have not seen an official figure for Forest Green yesterday, but it looked like about 200-250 in a crowd of 10,924.

True, but the wing backs are vital to the balance of the side. They would not be half as threatening without them.

We drew 0-0 with them earlier in the season, but they were a different beast yesterday. Wilson and Cadden are their two best players and crucial to the way they play. If they lose either of those two in the summer, they might find it more difficult next season.

Yes, the timing of the goals was terrible from our point of view. We needed to be stubborn and make life awkward for you, but we never got a proper foothold in the game.

The way we defended today we never gave ourselves a chance, and we hugely missed Tom Davies at the back. However, fair play to Forest Green, who were better than us in every area of the pitch and will deservedly go up as champions. The best side I have seen at this level in recent years. We...

Wilson was excellent when he was with us and I was disappointed we did not (or could not) sign him permanently. In our recent League One season it was only him and Kieran Morris that looked comfortable at that level. If anything, they looked better players in that division because they were...

It is heading for a complete sell out in the home stands. I can't remember the last time that happened for a regular league game. Probably never, as pre mid-nineties we still had terracing and pay on the gate for all games bar big cup ties. I think we will start with an unchanged team, save for...
