The '89 loss at Palace mattered to all Rovers fans and still hurts for many. We had no Crystal Ball.Is that based on 1989? Just commented on that elsewhere yesterday on some fans still holding a grudge against Palace. I guess that's based on the way their fans behaved that day though the result itself was more the referees fault. While I can imagine how badly people felt that evening it didn't really matter for long did it? Not like the 1960 final for instance which the club suffered after effects from for years though I don't think anyone really blamed Wolves. Of course I hold grudges against certain people and certain clubs so I'm not criticising. It just seems like its all based on one game which fortunately didn't really matter in the long run.
I disliked the whole Palace play off experience but faulted Courtney and the Rovers team that day who blew it more than Palace or their fans. The Windy miss that day is stuck in memory replay like MGP at OT.OK but I've never detected any additional animosity centred on that during games against them or anything beyond occasional comments on a forum. Some people still held a grudge against Oxford for a defeat over 50 years ago and brought it up recently lol. I've been to Selhurst too so I'm not just talking at Ewood. You didn't appear to note my remark about the referee being mostly to blame (ironically enough he refereed the 1992 final) however unpleasant Palace fans may have been. I can't understand why it still hurts now because I don't think Palace fans still taunt Rovers over it.
Nor me. In fact it was spooky cos I'd dreamt the night before that we'd lose 3-1! My only gripe is that Ron bloody Atkinson was at CH for them.I disliked the whole Palace play off experience but faulted Courtney and the Rovers team that day who blew it more than Palace or their fans.

What a dump of a ground and area it was then.
No grudges from me to Oxford. That was a classic FA Cup giant killing display
Odd quirk is that Courtney gave us a pen when Speedie went to ground a little too easily at Wembley. Gave us another too but Newell placed it and the keeper saved it when he should have blasted it right down the middle. That would have made the last 10 a little less stressful.Courtney got a barrage of pies at Bradford.
I still shudder at the mere mention of spennymoor
