As the five of us made our way down the hill to Oakwell the first thing that struck us was the ticket touts,they wern't selling they were trying to buy and obviously had customer's on Grove Street waiting,they were getting desperate too but i never saw anyone part with their treasured ticket and their customers were to be dissapointed. We made our way to our seats and with 20 minutes to kick off Oakwell was almost full to capacity,the noise was incredible,a huge flag was being passed all the way along the East Stand and an even bigger one practically covered the Ponty End,there were loads of red and white balloon's in people's hands just waiting to be released when the teams entered the field,Brazil flags too were everywhere,i have never witnesed an atmosphere like it before or since than that 20 minutes prior to kick off,Oakwell was rocking. At 2.55 the two teams emerged from the tunnel and hundreds of those red and white balloons were released into the air,it was a spectacular sight,but the moment of truth had arrived and 90 minutes from now we would know our fate,we wished one another good luck,Dave The Rave and Mick kissed my BFC Tattoo which was a superstition thing we did back then and with the lads kicking towards the Ponty in the first half we were away.
