matthefish2002 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Think of all the last day game which decided which division we would be in all seem to be at Hillsborough. I can only think of West Ham in 1996 that was away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmciverslovechild Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Two others from days of old.... 1928 and The Great Escape...the bottom four teams were all level on points going into the last day, we were top of those four on goal average. Any result other than a win could have sent us down. We beat Villa 2-0 at Hillsborough to finish 14th. 1951 we were bottom going into the last day with the same number of points as Chelsea. In 20th were Everton, two points ahead of us but we faced them at home on the last day. It was worked out that if Chelsea won their last game (which they did) we'd need to beat Everton by at least six clear goals to stay up. Amazingly we did beat Everton 6-0 but unfortunately Chelsea got four so we were relegated on goal average. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end was a still but at one point we were 0-1 and down and Grant made a right save should have been 0-2 I thought we were 4 up in that game !

mildatheart67 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 From memory it needed two other sides to be winning and us losing to drop us into the relegation place...and sure enough about 20 mins in that is what was happening. In the then a comfy 4-1 ,Norwich hardly broke sweat second half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes It was but only through a load of freak results that we could have gone down and we beat Ipswich 4-1. 23 hours ago, vulva said: Steve Whitton v Boro Towards end of season but I don't think it was last game of season, I'm sure we played Norwich last game losing 2-0 but we was already safe.

We needed to beat Bolton at home to stay up , incredibly if I remember correctly Bolton had a disallowed goal late on at 0-0 , then with 5 mins to go Ken Knighton scored the winner , I was only 9 at the time but it forever sticks in my mind , I went crazy and thought like the rest we'd won something rather than avoided relegation to div 3 . Sadly the season after we finished bottom in what was probably Wednesday's poorest ever season. This season isn't far behind mind you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason one of the only memories I have of that game is Huckerby being clear through on goal at 1-0. For some reason he decided to lay a pass to someone else who had broken clear with him. It got flagged offside when the easiest option was just to shoot for a pretty much open goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
