......was the last time we propped up this league, after a significant number of games

  OK we got relegated from it in 81/82, but were top after ten games and only  went 3rd bottom late in the season...only lost 20 games.

 In 55/56 we had to apply for re-election....but Bert Head was apointed boss, given time and he started us off on a generally upward curve.

 This I would consider the lowest I've felt in 40+ years of support.....in the close season I said I was dreading this season as it was obvious King starved of resources was not going to be able, even with his talents of getting a competitive side........

  Can we make it 0% football and 105% bollocks until the World Cup?

Christ man, your showing your age arent you..... you are one of those old people "back when i was a boy" were the balls round in those times??

Kickass takes on Reg.

I like it 8)

:wink:

 I'm loving this.. 105% bollocks post...can I play you at darts.....its one of life's oddities, that the more pissed I get the more accurate the arrows.

yeah how does that work?? that seems to happen with everyone.... ah well... how about i play you totally sober, or pissed... im not fussed :D

I played a good game recently......which had a cricket theme, the rules were a bit complex, but seemed to involve hitting the 25 or bull....when you were bowling and trebles when batting....which was OK.

 It was good fun.

I have played that.

keep the faith !!  don't think of us as being bottom, more as leading from behind !   lets at least give the Iffster a while to see what he can do, if we lose all the away games by 1 goal but win all the home games i'll be more than happy.

yeah i know that, sounds like u played it slightly different,.... we play the batter has 11 wickets.... for the bowler to get a wicket he had to hit a 25, and a bull for 2.... to bat all u need to do is score as much as you can.... anything over 40 counts.... so if you score 85.... you get 45 runs..... etc.. and play until the batter has lost all wickets

 That sounds about right.....I said it was complex....hitting the trebles I could understand as a good way of scoring points...although not strictly necessary.

ahhh same way then.... whats your least amount of darts, with 401 and 501, (double finish of course)

 I have played for my local, but strictly on a making up the numbers basis..this would be in the Old Town darts league.

  I've never really kept count......I ent Ted Hankey.

I see what you've done there! :mrgreen:

 I thank you

My worst time was end of 1999/2000 season.  It was absolute dross on the pitch. 5th February 2000. Lost 0-1 to Grimsby, a poor side who nevertheless peppered our goal, where Bart was playing on loan and did a brave job. Crowd was 5,784 and our attack was so awful that a 40 year old Jimmy Quinn wasa forced to come on, and looked our most dangerous player.

Compared with that, what we have now is quite enjoyable to watch, despite losing lately. Only my view of course.

 Unfortunately, even in that season, when it was obvious we were going down early doors we had 9 points from 11 games, and weren't bottom.
 
 I recall the despair of the 10th game when a Colin T*dd managed side,  Bolton ran out easy winners at the CG.

 Discussintg this with my kid last night he pointed out that it wasn't so bad as this, as we were in Div1 and historically we get relegated back to what is about our rightful level, sooner or later....but L2.....OK me and thee have seen it, but not many others will have done.

Ha, as soon as we got in the car to come home last night. We asked the question when was the last time we were bottom of this league, the answer was....Reg will tell us....!!

That was also my worse time.
