Re: 1984/85

2000 crowds were frequent especially on a wet Wednesday evening.

We got more stewards now than that 😆

He's a very busy and informative bee, and a very intresting one.

Find his posts fascinating, I wonder if he goes through a lot of notepads and pencils?

No, I just wing it.

Re: 1984/85

I remember it well, dire football under Alan Durban. We sold everything that could walk pretty much. Gary Bennett, Andy Dibble and Gordon Owen were all sold in the summer of 1984 and replaced with Lee Smelt, Vaughan Jones and John Seasman. And we lashed out £5000 on Graham Withey and signed Kevin Meacock, Paul McLoughlin and Mike Ford from non League. And Jake King. We lost 13 Homes games!! And 2564 fans turned up for the Middlesbrough game. Dark days the mid 1980s. I though it couldn't get much worse.

The following season we won our first game 4-1 at Notts County and I thought, we're on our way back up - we got relegated again!!

Remember being quite excited when we signed Seasman as he always seemed to do well whenever they showed Millwall on The Big Match on a Sunday.

18 years of my younger life in Div 3 and 4. The youth today have no idea what we went through. The promotion years were great though.

Re: 1984/85

Didnt we match Seasman up with Kevin Summerfield another free transfer.

What an attack.

No idea why we got relegated.
