On November 5th 1985 v Darlington, a freezing cold bonfire night, and our lowest ever recorded league attendance, 3.350 to watch us get stuffed 3-0, I ask because the younger ones on here are suicidal at the thought of watching us in the Championship, god only knows how they would have felt in them days.

I was there that night I think I went to nearly every game that season, remember the Swansea away game when Hartford scored and was the only player who could play football, the name of Graham Bell still sends a shudder down my spine, also have vivid memories of the Darlington 1/4 final van broke down a few miles from the ground but we faired a lot better than the Walkden whites who drove up in the state of the art XR3 injection only to end up on the return journey on the roof, the lad whos car it was managed to get home just before a knock on the door to tell him his car had been stolen and that it had been written off near Darlington.

 

I was in said car; alledgedly!!
