    Don't know if this has been done, but one year ago today, Monday 5th April 2010, NUFC gained promotion back to championship, before beating Sheffield 2-1.

    Also met Tim Healy before this match before having my ticket blown out my back pocket. Was gutted at this point as I thought was gonna miss us getting promoted. Went to box-office, which was surpringsingly empty and they were very sympathetic and managed to get me replacement. As one guy who was helping me look for it said, I was one lucky bastard.

    Managed to get into the ground and witness a decent match with a decent atmosphere (even the East Stand sang :O ).

    Anyone else at this match? Wasn't a stand-out game of the season by any stretch of the imagination but those are my memories of it.

    Lost me ticket on a night out before the Chelsea game this year, and couldn't believe how easy it was to get a replacement.

    Yes that was brilliant, and such a relief after what had happened at Villa the previous season.

    Could've sworn that was against Forest. They all seem the same to me.

    Been to all the games for quite a while now, never met Tim Healy though! I did meet his missus on the Town Moor when the fair was on, she looked as if she'd just got out of bed with the previous day's make up on and her hair looked like straw. She could have won a part in The Scarecrow if they been casting for it.

    I have misplaced tickets for Spurs away last year and Stoke away this year. Credit where credits due, on both occassions the box office at each club were most friendly and arranged duplicates for me.

    Haha, he seemed pretty hungover himself. With his son, who looked about 5, and he didn't look too happy about being stopped, but he smiled for about 3 seconds so I could get a pic with him, so credit to him for that :)

    Surprised at how easy it was to get a duplicate too, but wasn't gonna question it then, was just chuffed to get it.

    Ouch, unlucky. 2 bad games to miss. Did you have tickets for them both?
