Over the next seven days, we’ll be concentrating entirely on Sunday’s League Two play-off final, as County make the trip to Wembley for the sixth time. After heartbreaking defeats in 1992 (twice), 1993 and 1994, Jim Gannon’s men finally broke the hoodoo against Rochdale in 2008. Having lost just once in our last fifteen games (and that was an injury-hit line-up at Salford), fingers crossed Dave Challinor’s current crop can emulate Dicko, Pilks and Co when they run out at Wembley this weekend. For approximately 71 minutes on Saturday afternoon (68 in normal time and 3 in the extra half hour) it was our neighbours who were gearing up for a trip to the capital. But… well we all know what happened next, don’t we? Not one, but two unbelievable Edgeley Park moments. I’m currently writing a long read feature myself covering the whole day from start to finish, incorporating lots of different aspects of a County matchday in SK3. That’ll take me a week or two to complete. But we couldn’t possibly kick off WEMBLEY WEEK without any mention of Tanto, or Stretton, or the bloke we have “in the middle of our goal”, so here’s the thoughts of Dave Philbin on an unforgettable afternoon at EP. https://thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/county-2-salford-1 |
