I was born near the beginning of the 73-74 season, (September). We finished 9th in the 1st division. A Wembley final in my first year but it was "Keegan 2, Heighway 1, Liverpool 3, Newcastle none" to quote David Coleman. ;)

Same year as me, we were 15th in 73-74, which i counted as the year i was born as am at the end of August so the previous season had finished.

I'm the year after then if that's the criteria, which makes more sense like. I wasn't born when the season finished in '74.

It's awkward to work out what season to put! ;)

Ahhh yes, the year you lot went up as an absolute fix!

Did you or did you not win the play off final?

 

No, but it didn't matter, which essentially made the Playoff semi the final :razz:

As I said.. absolute fix! You were promoted because the club who won it were punished for something that happened 2 years previous under previous chairman / manager / players. How can that 'not matter'? ;)

 

And how can you say it make the semi the final? At the time none of the Swindon controversy was known so both clubs were playing for a game at Wembley - NOT to see who would go up. I remember clearly at the time that Newcastle and Sunderland fans alike were gutted that it hadn't contrived that the actually final was between the two clubs.
