Carlisle is perfect due to its historic nature, is it on a Friday night like last time we got promoted, I was at Catterick in the army at the time so went to the game, plus we can pontificate about where everyone was for pre season friendlies and call each other plastic or glory hunting etc, sounds great!
I would take Hartlepool on the last day just as long as we get there, especially if the Spanners go down on the same day!
As far as I can remember the games where we have got promoted have always been away. Blackburn , Carlisle etc.. . Wouldn't it be fantastic to do it at The Valley.

Neither Carlisle promotion game was on a Friday night, although we did play them on a Friday night in May 1985 (the year before the second one), which I also attended.

Your right, Friday 3 May 85 1-1, I saw us win 3-2 the following year in a saturday so not as hardcore as I thought Iwas all these years.....
I've had a feeling all season that something would happen at the oldham away game, either promotion or champions, i`m sticking to that. I don't know why but you just get the feeling that if it happens it'll be away, don't know why

Was at that game too, 2-0 nil down I walk off to the tea hut (literally) feeling gutted, and a certain Jim Tolmie scores a 25 yard own goal...apparently I didn't see it...to turn the tide and see out a 3-2 win. Ran on the pitch to loft up the great Lennie Lawrence - the best train journey home ever!
Preston. Last time I was at a promotion party other than Wembley was vs Preston at the Valley. 26000 in for a Div 3 game. A good night, and I'll be there again.

Remember that Preston game well 1975 for no other reason than Booby Goldthorpe at centre half and I'm pretty sure Bobby Charlton was their manager.
