Good news...........Looking forward to watching somebody (anyone will do) beat Crawley with a last minute goal..........Evan's blowing a gasket and having to be taken away by medical staff and then Crawley entering administration after the final whistle.......

So do you think our two trophy wins would have been as special if they were at Citys' ground down the road?

Unfortunately I was merely a toddler when we collected a second so will never know but I highly doubt they would have been!

(& I have lots to be humble about)
