I reckon we must have used the less players than any year since, I can only remember the below but am sure I am missing some

Cox, Poole, Nobbs, Mcphail, Bennyworth, A Davies, McKinnon, Smith, Olsson, Tupling, Tinkler, Dalton, Honour,Allon, Baker, Fletcher, McDonald

Who have I missed ? Was Heaney on loan to us that year ??

Successful teams usually use fewer players during a season, example in 89/90 we used 40+ including half a dozen keepers

Can't believe I forgot Hutchison, a lot more players than I thought at least playing a game or two
Alan Lamb is a blast from the past

Was talking to Horden about this the other week but the likes of john Mcphail just don't exist any more. Players with his equivalent experience today have already made enough money and wouldn't 'lower' themselves to such a challenge.

Oh I wish we had that back four......I mean any 11 of those players today sadx

Mark Nesbitt played at Right Back in the 0-0 draw at Rochdale right near the end of the season.

2 days before the birth of my daughter, was in the hospital visiting our lass, and kept popping out to ring up the club call. Was over the moon when my daughter Molly was born on the Thursday and our lass said I could go to Peterborough on the Saturday.

Who was our left back in the game McKinnon missed to go on trial ? Think it was away to Aldershot

I was at the game but didn't know the answer til I looked at Mr Mad's website. Indeed, he didn't play, not that we missed him that night

TBF they were as bad that night as we are now, strangely enough they went bust not long after, surely a fate that could of awaited us, if things had carried on as they were

Smith, Bennyworth, McPhail & Nobbs in the back 4 as I recall. Hat-trick from Dalts?

That promotion season was the last one you could swap ends from town end to rink end anytime during the game.

Away end was half the town end on clarence road side.

There cant have been more than 50 of us there surely to Christ ?

Chip - seem to remember the whole crowd being about 1500 - I seem to remember about 100 poolies but I think that might have just been all the celebrating of 5 goals away from home. Happy days.

Never forget the good friday night game at stockport Brian Honour taking the piss on the wing .

Might of been outa kevin francis but not sure for defo.

Looking back,what makes the Aldershot game special is that there was no real reason for any of the 50 or whatever to be there really. Any hope of promotion seemed to have died a couple of days earlier with a defeat at Lincoln. Even after the Aldershot game it was back down to earth with a home defeat, but after that it was all systems go. The Stockport game was the one were I really thought, shit this could be it, our first promotion since I started going in 1971.

Yes lost 2-1 to Blackpool in the last minute and never looked back, the bloke who got there winner was Rodwell or someone, think he came from some disbanded non-league team Coln Dynamoes

My eldest was born just after midnight on Sunday March 9th 2008. A few minutes earlier would have been the day we beat Gillingham 4-0.

I remember our lass being in labour after the final score, thinking he was destined to be a Poolie after a result like that.
