    How in the world did we go from a Div 1 Play Off Final at Wembley, with Hignett, Dyer, Barnard and Shipperley, to that line up in 12 months?? It was a year or 2 before I became a supporter, so I'm genuinely asking haha

    That wasn’t the first team! Very much a reserve side

    As others have said, that’s a reserve side. Pretty sure Dyer and Barnard were still at the club.

    That team massively under achieved. Barring appointing that toss pot Parkin would have stayed up comfortably or maybe even pushed on after good run at Xmas with a proper manager. Spankman played his part too. What a waste.

    Just think if they'd stayed up that season. There'd have been no Cooperative Bank cutting their losses. No Admin. No Cryne's and no Pacific Media Group. Oh well :(.

    Imagine if there was no Cryne back then - even worse scenario to think of mate!
