Did anyone attend the 2nd Division Play-Off Final, 1999?

[tmancini02]

Hi all,

I'm Tom, a writer from Strood, and I'm looking for subjects for a piece I'm writing on the Second Division Play-Off Final in 1999.

If you were there on the day - or can put me in touch with someone who was in the stands - please reply to this thread with your email, or shoot an email to tmancini02@gmail.com. I'm looking for stories from the season, thoughts on the opposition, and your experience as a fan from the '90s to the present day.

TYIA!

Hi Tom, pretty sure everyone has left the stadium now unfortunately mate. Maybe try the Man City Forum, they may know someone still there celebrating.

Cheers.

They left an hour before we did to be fair.

Still traumatised.
Spent the last quarter of a century trying to forget about it.

I used to cut his hair just outside the station for several years when he’d be waiting for his train.


He never did find out it was me.

Gimmer says this Tom bloke needs to contact a Mr Mark Halsey who by now should be able to explain why he decided to cheat Gillingham out of promotion.

Not bitter about the result in 1999 as we got to go back in 2000 and this time win - both were great days out that we only ever dreamed off
