Nope. We won promotion on Wednesday 5th May when Hereford beat Peterborough (who were 5th) 2-1, meaning the latter couldn't catch us.
It had been a 5 horse race (us, Wigan, Bradford, Bournemouth and Peterborough) for the 4 places since around mid March. Any one of the 5 could have dropped out - if memory serves there was never more than 3-4 points seperating the pack - until we won 4-0 at Peterborough on 21/4/82. After that, Peterborough collapsed and by the time we played them on that home game on 8/5/82, whilst they still had a slight mathematical chance, they had more or less blown it. Our 4-0 win confirmed promotion for the other 3 I believe.
Thanks. That would explain the chant I remembered then..
