Looking at that table, it is also interesting to see the likes of hartlepools, Torquay, Darlington down the bottom as they are in dire straights now and are down the bottom almost every year. I read somewhere that Darlington are now in the 9th tier of the game and had to move out of their stadium which is now home to the local rugby ground.
Remember them hammering us at gillingham with their striker, gabbiadini scoring a hatful.
Strange feeling watching those clips and seeing those pictures. It's hard to explain how you can be sick to the stomach and elated all at the same time but that sums up my feelings during the match. The tension was horrendous and only surpassed by the Hereford game so overall not particularly 'happy' memories as watching your football club teeter on the brink of extinction is a harrowing experience. On the plus side it has somewhat immunised me to the following 19 years of ups and downs and means I remain relatively calm in our current more pleasurable predicament.
19 years, blimey. Twentieth anniversary of thre York protests.
I didn't go to the Doncaster game, was out of the country. So my last game was Exeter in February. Only realised it was my last time at the Goldstone when I got home later, probably for the best as not sure I could have dragged myself away. Instead it was just like I will always remember it, gleaming floodlights against the night sky, a happy crowd streaming home across Hove Park after a hard-fought 1-0 win. Wish I could take my kids there, but I'm proud to be able to take them to the Amex
