Pinching themselves when you think about the fact that at about this time in 2005 we lost a heartbreaker to cas at their place in NL1, Then got knocked out of the playoffs by a Ben Fisher led Halifax, With us still playing on a postage stamp of a pitch that flooded if it even looked like rain, Just a big green hill where the golf stand is and floodlights that were pish poor
Now we are pretty much secure in 4th in SL.
Im still finding my head is spinning about it all especially when you consider that I though we would never get there when I heard the rumours back then that SL was going to become a closed shop (Which to a degree it has).

Cue the Gateshull fans ..most of you lot wont remember that etc etc etc..................

Good innit

It is and it was something that struck me at Cas today.
As I can still remember Byron losing the ball/not catching the ball with the line begging to probably win the game for us that day which cost us any real chance of 1st in the league, Well that and us losing to Haven at our place when the freak won it for them all on his own(With a little help from Byron).

The game where Mark Blanchard offloaded to Kane Epati who had the line at his mercy and knocked on with seconds remaining!!!

I thought it was Byron but yeah that was the one.

Nope, was definately epati. He also dropped the ball over the line in the same game. 35v32 or something i think it was.

Fair enough.
My memory is obviously slipping.
Everything else I posted is correct though.
It just puts a smile on my face looking back.

There was over 8,000 there that day too.

Although not tonight for some reason
