Won a minor cup while taking us down

The league title the year before (the clubs first in about 27 years)!!

The ‘minor’ cup was one of the greatest days out for many Town fans

Really? I think most would rather we had stayed up. One good season.

You don't want our club to win trophies? I'd rather look back and think about us lifting a trophy at Wembley than fondly remembering about that season when we finished mid table.
Having said that, I agree that Sheridan is now a joke manager who lost his love for the game many years ago.

For me, the relegation cancelled out the promotion. We had made no progress. I enjoyed the day out and the victory but I didn't value the actual competition just as I wouldn't value winning the FA Trophy or Vase or whatever it's called.

We’ve always been a division 3/4 yo-yo club (until Carson et al ruined that).
So a trophy at Wembley will always be a highlight

I agree. The Wembley memories are there whatever.

We were mainly a tier 3 club

[JonB]

I'll be grateful for the day out at Wembley, made for a great day out on the train seeing our club win a trophy at the national stadium.

The sheer joy when Westcarr scored and almost 50,000 people went crazy (perhaps only equalled by Hursts goal v Luton or Beaumont’s v Wrexham)?

Edit - I suppose some of the 50,000 may have been Swindon fans?

We all enjoy the highs, what about 1997 hey? And then there's the humiliation by Enfield and Basingstoke. Kind of takes the gloss off the successes.
I recall a wonderful afternoon clinching promotion at little Burton. And then, a few years later, watch in disbelief as that club went 2 divisions above us. The despair of the Grimsby defeat and falling out of L2!
We should be neck and neck with Rotherham, similar sized clubs and fan bases. Hopefully PC can take us there and we can become a L1/championship yo yo club!

Law’s second v Man**ield in 95 was the most joyous moment for me.

There were more Swindon fans as you’d expect - nearer, bigger place etc. But still, 22,000 or so was some scene. And yes I’ll trade that for relegation any day of the week personally.

Spurs 6-2 v Leicester
Rodgers a certainty for the chop now

Unsworth apparently in talks to replace Sheridan

Did y'watch it, pal?

For sixty plus minutes LCFC matched THFC. Infact were arguably the better side. Then Son's brilliance just blew them away.

Dunno what's happened at Leicester - though a supporting mate suggests the owners are 'doing an Allen' - but feel for Rodgers based on that performance...

Yes we did in a bar but it was 3-2 to Spurs when we arrived so all we really saw was the Son show

Still got a very good squad, which for me means that Rodgers' negativity at not getting what he wanted has had an adverse effect. Usually only one outcome
in those circumstances. Dyche to Leicester?

Rodgers is begging to be sacked.
