On that day when the chant "were effing excrement" rang out that was very embarrassing considering we are renowned for good "support".

Now if we're really looking back on this date.....

Saturday 18th February 1989

.....when Harry Haddock and thousands of Mariners descended on Plough Lane

And I still believe we had a legitimate equaliser ruled out before they broke away for their third

I also see that day at Halifax as one of the darkest since we were relegated and it felt like we were being ripped apart from the inside as a club that day, it's crazy how it all turned out in the end but I do sometimes feel that after Halifax away a few of the players and the manager got us promoted slightly in spite of the fans rather than for the fans

What a fabulous day out..... and credit to the BBC who gave us fantastic publicity, probably the best day for media coverage in 28 years.

Firstly Crewe was in the league and secondly Braintree was an early season freak when nobody knew how good anybody else was and there wasn't a mass chant of "Hurst Out" or "Hursty is a w*****" either was there? And nor was there any racist abuse at Braintree which probably contributed towards Toto's exist.


Do you have any evidence for this racial abuse? Because I'm yet to see any....

Saying that I agree with Crewe, to call a freak defeat during a successful campaign in our return to the league as 'one of our darkest days' is ridiculous.

I haven't got any evidence to suggest it isn't true either though.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Apart from the subsequent investigation which found no evidence that it took place?
