Faragegate!










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Faragegate!

Yep, came here to say that. Easily Farage. Whether you're a tory gammon or a leftie snowflake shouldn't be relevant here. Football clubs shouldn't be aligning themselves politically, especially not with racist slugs like Farage.

Don’t forget the alleged secret recording in the car that was leaked.

Don't forget Slade's team talk on the pitch at Lincoln, what a disgrace, team spirit went straight out of the window that day for the rest of the season, cost us promotion


Oddly, I've always thought it was more down to the January transfer dealings but looking the on the records that's not the case at all. Just 7 points dropped from a maximum of 24 from the start of Feb to the Lincoln game (25th March), then (including the Lincoln game) we dropped 14 points from the 24 available until the end of the season, including a crippling four draws in the final five games.  In the end we finished 3 points behind 3rd place Leyton Orient with a superior goal difference.

I think my memory definitely erased how bad the collapse was in the final straight.  

Going back further, January itself wasn't great either.  Just 5 points picked up from the final 18.

I think this is one of those instances where stats can be a little misleading. In the 7 games after Lincoln we played Carlisle (champions), Leyton Orient (promoted), Cheltenham (promoted) and Northampton (promoted).

There's no doubting it was a tough run in, and we only lost once, away to a Michael Bridges inspired Carlisle. Dropped points against Shrewsbury and Macclesfield weren't great, but a combination of things - Joe Hart, pressure in general, and losing Rob Jones half-way through the first half at Moss Rose to go and witness the birth of his child are also mitigating circumstances to a degree.

This is in no way intended as a defence of the eggman, I just don't think the half-time flip chart was that significant a factor in our failure to win promotion that season.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
