As i said previously being born in july , there were no games. the Nearest being the last game of the previous season (and our last game in div 3 South) a 6-3 thrashing of Northampton on May 2nd at RH (McCrory 3 Price 2 and Smith) to place us 7th and avoid "relegation" to the new Division 4

And the first game of the next season (The first Div 3 non regionalised game) 4-1 away win at Oxford (Hollis 2 Crossan and McCrory)

I was born the day after a 4-2 win at Reading on 25/11/1990. We were top of the league at the time I believe, and was promoted that season.

Thanks for making me feel really, really ancient.

Nope, but Ireland were in the World Cup. I was born and my dad went off to watch the football :D

 

[Hooly]

Like most I'd never thought of this & with April 29th 1959 being a Wednesday right at the end of the season I had no hope.

As it happens though 5-2 home winners that night in our last game of the season vs Notts County. With Hollis(2) Houghton(2) & McCrory the scorers to finish 8th in the old D3, so sadly just outside the play-offs. :whistling:

Tuesday 18th August 1970, Lost away to Charlton Athletic 3-0 at the Valley in the League Cup 1st round.....

Thanks for making me feel really, really ancient.

Blimey, and I was at that one too. Christ, I'm only 26!!!

In fact on the season review I believe you can see me and my dad gleefully celebrating!

 

[BrettieAngell]

Not very likely in those days, the League Two Play-off Final was on my birthday though!

Best. Birthday. Ever.

26th August 1989. Division 4 against wrexham 3 - 3 Southend (Prior, Crown, Bennett)

21 July, '89. Doubt there was a game on. Certainly not at the time I was born (1 minute past midnight - here's a thought, if you're born at midnight exactly, does that make your birthday - for example, the 20th, or the 21st??

 

[chapperzUK]

Yes. Wednesday 1st April 1992 against Bristol Rovers. A Win!

Wed 1-Apr Bristol Rovers A D2 9th 1 0 Jones 7 5,375
