Yes, this has been an absolute embarrassment and I have taken a lot of stick from mates. Thank goodness for the takeover as without it this would’ve been my last season attending utm

It's been heartbreaking. Difficult to judge if it's the worst season ever.I remember being at the Hawthorns and getting hammered under Buckley. All the fans around us were calling for him to resign and the abuse was horrific. We were in the Championship and although it was a struggle, the team showed some fight and we had players who were decent. I wonder if those fans are still around and what they would make of the current dire position we are in. Back then, we did not realise we were born.
At least we gained some respect back near the end of the season and we have not suffered (thanks to no crowds?) the humiliation of fans acting violently as happened at Burton last time.
If you watched Torquay v Bromley just now you realise the poor standard we are heading for. If we can find some creative midfielders and a decent striker surely we can get straight back. But it won't be pretty.

2003/4 the worst for me. Should have done well coming down into league one but we were a mess on and off the pitch. I was at Hartlepool 8-1 and Oldham 6-0. Tranmere in the last day probably remains the most gutted I have been at a town game. Good job I didn’t realise that 17 years later we’d be two leagues below and would never have returned to the THIRD tier.

Me too.



And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

In general, yes, but in terms of where we’re at in terms of the future, it’s a whole lot better than it might have been. Imagine facing the NL with you know who still in the building.

This season has been shockingly bad, memories of 2009–10 season kinda edge it for me though. The first game of the season against Crewe remains the one and only time I've left a game before the final whistle as it was an embarrassing display to watch. So many wasters in that team and so many embarrassments like losing at home to Bath City in the cup, a team we smashed just a couple of season later while playing a league lower.

I think the stories of what was going on behind the scenes makes it all the more worse, not that this season is far behind in turning the club into a massive embarrassment.

I think with hindsight, the first time we went down to the conference is the worst. That squad were a flipping disgrace, no other way to describe it. The club was a mess and we were a rudderless ship.

We did return but instantly began making the same mistakes.

This season has been awful, we’ve finished bottom in probably the worst league 2 I’ve seen. Some of the teams have been woeful yet we still finished bottom, tells you all you need to know. Thankfully, I think the fans recognise that we at least tried to give it a go and by the end we did have players who gave a excrement. We all saw them looking distraught at Exeter...that didn’t happen at Burton. Amongst the carnage of fans wrecking the gaff, the players didn’t look remotely bothered. To this day I can’t fathom why the fans didn’t go after the players and the board...why has it taken us almost another ten years before the vast majority opened their eyes to the real issues.

2003/04 was awful, there were some truly horrific results that year but I’d still say our first relegation to the conference was the worst. This year has been excrement for so many reason and has affirmed my belief that watching your club on the TV is flipping rubbish. I appreciate for some it’s the only way so it’s better than nothing but however excrement the conference is, if I’ve the option of standing in Maidenhead away end or sitting at home...it’s always gonna be the away end.

Totally agree Aldi.

Watching on my phone / tv with no fans there has made me very detached from this season. Stopped watching quite a while ago and haven’t missed it. When fans are allowed back I’m sure my interest will be back.
