Lt. Aldo Raine Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The descent of Scunthorpe United through the leagues is still insane to me During Parky's promotion season, they were our main rivals for that second automatic promotion spot to the Championship for most of the season, and I remember losing it when we scored a last minute winner against them on NYE Now they play in the National League North 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we first hit the 4th division, and came up in that game against Wrexham, weren't Wolves and Sheff Utd also promoted with us? - bonkers to imagine Bolton, Wolves and Sheff Utd all in the bottom tier.....I think Burnley might even have been down there as well at the time IIRC didn’t Burnley have to win their last game of the season in the 4th tier to stay up. Might be 30 years ago or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their beef tea was Cerebos gravy.Cartoonist Bill Tidy came out on night at the same time as us and he nearly bowled Loft over. Them and us appeared in the same football league record in the 70s. But who else did ? You cant imagine any club being voted out of the League in preference of Wiggin 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Leyton Orient Yeh, I remember thinking it could be us in a year's time after Aldershot did us. Wasn't it Lincoln went down after Torquay's game got extra time added after a police dog bit a player! Still, after all the fuss about being the first to go out automatically, they just came straight back as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolli Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 20 hours ago, Casino said: Ooops, Southport reminds me Last 50 years... They won the old 4th division championship in 1972-73, the same year we won div 3. The same year all the 4 divisions was won by then " Lancashire" teams. They exited the football league in 1978, so, yes, in the last 50 years. ps. Not read all the thread so if this as already been mentioned, my apologies.
