Thinking about it, Kathy, I don't think we've ever clinched promotion at home, it's time we did ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,679 Posted March 31, 2019 We either secured promotion or the title - I forget which - when we drew 1-1 at home to Stoke in 85/86. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABC (A Basingstoke Canary) 26 Posted April 1, 2019 I don't recall winning promotion at home (we were almost over the line with a 1-0 home win over Swindon in April 1972). However, I do remember that we won promotion and the Championship in successive away games - promotion to the 1st Division in 1972 following the Swindon home win - a 2-1 win in a Monday night game at Orient and then won the Championship 5 days later on the Saturday with a 1-1 draw at Watford (and I was there!). What memories - being in the Army as a Norwich supporter, surrounded by Leeds, Liverpool & Man U fans was one of the few highlights of my military career!

Such a loud version of OTBC which made such an impression on me that I formed the view that this football thing was such a great idea! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was to win the league...promotion was won at the Odsall stadium,Bradford a week before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,679 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Sounds about right GJL - I seem to recall winning that game and others losing, securing promotion in that game was almost unexpected; they were playing at Odsal due to the horrific fire they’d had.
