    I'm confused. Rob Phillips was talking about 89-90 yesterday, why isn't that as bad as the current start?

    I only flicked through the records and to be honest I didn't pay much attention to anything before 1964 as some media outlets have been mentioning that since last weekend, including the BBC:

    No worries. I'm always doing some half-hearted research into how badly teams I don't support are doing then posting it on one of their message boards myself.

    Because City won game four of that season, a 2-0 victory at Plymouth in a League Cup fixture.

    Worst ever season start I can find is 1964-1965 with 13 winless games (11 league, 1 League Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup).

    1989-1990 season hold some fond memories both on and off the pitch. Relegated on the last day away at Bury saw mostly City fans in attendance professing undying support for the club. Nathan Blake's lower lip wobbled prior to tears appearing as he acknowledged the swollen throng [ooh err, missus].

    After a lousy start to the season results improved when Cohen Griffith begun to motor at Fulham, Walsall and in Jackland on Boxing Day.

    On the hoolie front the boys in blue came out winners at Swansea and Birmingham; it proved too difficult to get at foes each time. The let's-throw-stuff-from-a-safe-distance Joke Army boys always disappointed. The fisticuffs highlight of the season was the mangling of QPR's self-vaunted mob at a Loftus Road FA Cup tie and wanton vandalism to Gloucester's ground in the preceding round which attracted national publicity when their chairman described visiting fans as "subhuman".

    Gunman, we’re back in blue, have been for some time. Crowds are good and everyone is getting on just lovely.

    Swallow your pride and come back to games rather than wishing your local club failure?

    Eastbourne, I've been to a number of games since the return to blue - three already this season, in fact.

    I don't wish my local club failure at all. However, as things stand, they're failing all the same.
