I worked with someone years ago who took her nieces to Jodrell Bank. They had some competition for the kids, adults helping, and one of the problems to solve was putting planets in the solar system in correct order and quickest got a prize. From behind was shouting and much urgency with anger at finishing second. She turned around and it was Alex and a couple of kids.

They went top in September and never budged an inch. Nobody laid a glove on them, let alone Peterborough of all teams People made fun of our runners up trophy but I promise you Darren old chum, they don't give out trophies for giving it a jolly good try Have a nice season next year. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke and club. Really weird bunch over there Might be wrong here but think once we reached 2nd place we were never overtaken either. Valuable lessons there about counting games in hand as 3 points. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, SKRam, Reggie Greenwood and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Who we having from Peterborough then? Probably out of our price range but I've always been impressed by Randall. I think he ran the show when they beat us 3-2 as well. Crewton and Carnero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible Bird or Hourihanne replacement if we can afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, although we reached 2nd much later in the season and stayed there, aside from 1 week I believe when Bolton overtook us We pushed Bolton all the way, and pushed them fully over in March to overtake. Then we stayed there. Peterborough were also around somewhere, making up the numbers. scout's dad and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hit 2nd spot on 3rd February and, from what I can see, never relinquished that place between then and the end of the season. Portsmouth hit 1st place on 19th September and were 6 points ahead of us at that time, the final margin was 5 points.

They pushed us so far that they even gave up with 2 games to go despite being within mathematical reach of automatics because they knew they weren’t good enough. Still, pretty close though.

ram59 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It leads to a question that needs to be asked, ' is it worth going all the way in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy'? Bolton last season and Peterborough this season, both won the trophy but lost out in the play offs, did the extra games and the distraction of a Wembley final affect their final points total and/or their performances in the play offs? kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Peterborough seemed to play within themselves last night. Almost like they didn’t want to go full tilt in case Oxford on the break. By the time they twisted their arm at 70 minutes Oxford looked comfy and happy to keep getting ‘injured’ every couple of minutes. Think Bolton will win the final.

Bolton went above us after they drew at Barnsley on Tuesday 5th March (Bolton 70 points, Derby 69 points). We didn't play, they had a game in hand. We retook second place on the Saturday when we won away at Bristol and Bolton only drew at Exeter (Derby 72 points, Bolton 71 points). A week later we beat Bolton and, as they say, the rest is history. RadioactiveWaste, SKRam and G STAR RAM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
