[Bangor on Dee Robin]

Should we have played Crewe in an FA Cup tie on Sky ? only for it to be postponed because Neil Lennon was on international duty ?

Maybe my medication is wearing off, maybe ?

I am pretty sure I remember that game in 1995 being postponed because of international callups, although I am unsure if it was originally scheduled for TV or not.

It was scheduled for tv, it was called off due to Neil Lennon being on international duty.

Did we appear on the ill-fated Wire TV cable channel back in the 90's? I seem to recall a home match against Stalybridge, but then again I have a memory like a sieve.

Yes, there was a thread about it a few months ago - either on here or Facebook, can't recall which.

The Crewe game was actually called off for 3 players being on international duty: Neil Lennon with Northern Ireland, and Rob Edwards and Robbie Savage with Wales

That's brilliant - thanks. Some familiar faces in the ground (some sadly no longer with us) but that Andy Green stare really takes you back.

I remember it so well, memorable game, team and season especially Paul Showler until it fell apart at the end. Crowd was 4100.
never knew at the time, as a narrow defeat at Barrow that ended our 28 game run seemed predictable,.. but the reason we didn't go up was a n other.

4501. But they had to pretend it was something else. Ecky said he knew every word of the commentary... The flash lad (Rowlo?) with his mobile phone... stood in corner between grass Bank and GR end, Tom Majinski (fellow Ambrosian and later star of HBU) controlled a wayward ball on his thigh - killed it dead, I think I can just about pick out the moment on the video - he was a class above me really... Never saw it again until Rowley made a dvd specially. I think Barnet spent 80,000 pounds on new players near the end of the season, including carter from runcorn - how much is that in today's money... Don't forget we played a strong team in the csc and started in the 1st qualifying round of the fa cup in those days - 100% we were knackered - probably the same this season! We had to pretend the last gate of the season (Boston?) was more than it really was so the figures added up. Those really were the days. Oh yes they were - they really were! My first season as well. No wonder I stuck it.

Robbie Savage? Wow, one of my favourite players, and i have no memory of it! Eat My Sports was probably my favourite - Angus Loughran, Alfreton Town (before they went big time), Ricky Harris - what more could you want! Wayno will tell you about it! Wayno, I remember the Barnsley game, you said you knew you were getting old because you couldn't be bothered going on the pitch as it was muddy. I suppose you don't get asked for your age any more... old chap Northwich away was good as well, and the bargain booze on the way back to the station.
