The annoying thing about that was that the try was disallowed. We were making out way towards the exit and were in line with the touchline. Gelling was at least a foot inside the touchline.
Mind you it's not the first time we've been done by a touchie at that ground.
1962 when we got robbed 5 - 4. Frankie Parr broke round the blindside of a scrum and was clear only for the home friendly touchie to decide that Parr was in touch (never).
Not that I'm bitter about it
It ranks alongside the Billy Benyon try in the Championship final and the Keith Hepworth tackle on Colin Tyrer as the worst decisions I have seen.

Do you mean the 1971 Final at Station Rd, Billy Ashurst had one of the best second row games I have had the pleasure to watch (Great player), John Mantle got sent off 15-20 minutes from the end with Wigan leading 10-6, Saints eventually won 16-12, Incidentally 8 players on display that day played for both sides during their career, (No, not at the same time!!) Billy by the way, was not offside. at least thats what the Ref said
he is a joke of a player.
