It was a great day. We were in the Vine singing "Happy Days are here again..." about the Rags impending relegation the next day, dancing all over the pool table. Two Mickey Mousers, wankered on Diamond White, scaled the front of the pub to pull the letters off the sign, inspired by the souvenir hunting in the Holte.

And I fell asleep on the bus home......

I remember a few of things.
Strange feeling around that it’s the end of something very special.

The poor guy singing YNWA through a barrage of abuse.

The winning goal seemed to me that Goalkeeper dived over the ball letting in very soft goal.

Not wanting to leave, and being ushered out while hearing people chiselling out their bits of the Holte end.

Christ i feel old . I remember walking out after that game with a tear in both eyes , holding onto my certificate and match programe from the day. 
I'm so glad we are still in the same location and we should never leave our home in B6 , memories for us all and HITS who we love and miss and also love the Villa.

Funny how your memories differ from reality.

Think I confused it with a Toney Daley goal from 11th April 92

I thought one of the goals was from a corner.....but clearly not.

That was 94/95 in front of the new Holte against the same opposition in the final home game and another Yorke brace! Easy mistake to make
