Ah... wish I had been there - Slough travel to the title favourites Sutton with a squad put together in nine days, having been ejected from the Conference in the summer, and then get battered by all accounts for much of the 90 minutes, but sneak a memorable 1-0 victory with an own goal. I do remember going to the next two home games against Bishops Stortford and Chesham though...

 

...and Sutton went on to win the league.

[Martin]

I was there and I seem to remember I played a tambourine for much of the game. It was awesome to just still exist let alone win the game.

Had stopped going for a while, then read about the mess the club was in and phoned the Silski's who said any show of support would be good.

I was completely skint so had to hitch hike to the game and bunk the trains back. Couldn't believe we actually won, caught up with a few old faces i went to school with, and starting getting that football bug back again.

[Reading Rebel]

I was there and like most other supporters was fearful of a real hammering, but I suppose I should have known better because when the odds are stacked against us we tend to pull a result out of the fire.

 

Looking at the programme the squad was:

 

Wilkerson, Channing, Hughes, Pierson, Line, Thorp, Asselman, Kemp, Deaner, Roach, Fiore, Freeman, Holsman, McVie.

 

I've also looked at the programme when we played Sutton away in 92/3 and the number 14 for them was Steve Brown.

I'll have little snippets of the other five matches I received recently up at some stage this weekend - all matches against Colchester, some at Wexham Park, some at Layer Road.

I remember going there and being knocked out of the FA cup.... gits...

[Matt]

Looking forward to seeing those other highlights Gary.

 

Just remembering back to that home game against Chesham in 1998/99 - great fun with Mark Fiore lobbing Bruce Grobbelaar from 35 yards in a 3-1 win in front of a 1,000+ crowd. Take a look at the Chesham team (as per the programme) that day as well - lots of familiar names...

I was there....& the Chesham game, never stopped going despite it all!

 

Interesting how many of the Chesham team became Slough players eventually!

 

I can't believe we're still in a mess almost 8 years after the summer of hell.
