No doubt you're right, as we won far more away games than home ones that season!

Wasn't it twelve in total away?

This was my first season going to the Villa and I remember the Bradford home game as a 7 year old was my 2nd ever game. Had no idea of the significance at the time but it all but sealed promotion in front of 45000. Ian Ormandroid played for Bradford then.

There was a great atmosphere at this game.

The Holte was packed that day.

Just remembered, at the start of the nineties I was in my local boozer when me and friends got chatting with some football fans who ahd dropped in for a pint.

Turned out they were Bradford City fans. I recalled the Easter '88 game and he said, "As soon as I saw a packed Holte End across from our seating, I knew we were beaten."
