Quoted from Les Brechin


I think their last game was abandoned a couple of minutes from time with them losing 1-0 due to a pitch invasion, and the result was allowed to stand. If they had won then they would have gone up but that would have meant scoring 2 goals in the last couple of minutes.


I watched this last night on big match revisited and it was nigh on impossible for the Fulham players to play the last 10 mins due to the Derby  crowd being all over the pitch perimeter.On the pitch for Derby Mike Brolly,Paul Emson and Paul Futcher

A long time ago but I thought Gordon Davis did the damage at BP a fairly prolific goalscorer back then?


I seem to remember that he was still at Fulham later in his career when we beat them 3-0 at home on New Year’s Day (i think).

Good game, played them off the park that day. Must have been early 90’s?

Went to this one... and then the following Saturday ( Easter ) went to see the same outcome at Newcastle.

As bad as successive 4-0 defeats might have been, at least we were "competing" in the second tier ( and the following season came so close to going up to the top flight ourselves )

That following season was amazing, especially from today's perspective. The (pre-all-seater) Park packed out for Bank Holiday games*. Beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Finishing 5th (sadly pre-play-off era).

* though I think the average was 7000 something, it wasn't that far behind Chelsea!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Indeed. Barring some dodgy billionaire turning up to throw money at us, I don't think we will ever get a better chance than that given the gaps that have opened up between the top and the second division, and between the second and the others.
