Where did we finish in the first and second season you started going to games?

[Lord Bracknell]

First season - second to Aston Villa in the Third Division.
Second season - bottom of the Second Division. Villa finished third.

I learned quickly to expect nothing.

 

[Driver8]

4th or 5th. (75/76) , 2nd (76/77). And its been a rollercoaster ride ever since!

 

[Johners]

76/77 2nd Div 3
77/78 4th Div 2

Magnificent team.

Old git

Snap - although I did also see the last 2 home games of the previious season

Blimey, I don't remember, league position really wasn't a criteria, it was enough to go to 'the match' with my schoolfriends. If I can be arsed I'll look up and see where we finished in 65-66 and 66-67.

 

[drew]

2nd in the old third division 77
4th in the old second division 78



Happy days

Can you tell i'm bored with rain/spurs/etc..

Top Division 3 (South)

 

[thebazillionaire]

19th twice on the trot div 3. 73/74 - 74/75

 

[The Orange Seagull]

79-80, Division 1, finished 16th
80-81, Division 1, finished 19th

:gloryhunter:

Same here

 

[Cheeky Chappie]

As per a couple of previous posts, 76/77 2nd Div 3 and 77/78 4th Div 2.
Just in time for the glory years, followed by a tour of the lower divisions.
As for expectations, I think we'll just miss out on the play-offs this year but will be promoted next season. Over the next few seasons we should become an established second tier club.

 

[Shoreham Beach Seagull]

2000/2001 = 1st
2001/2002 = 1st

First games were in the 00/01 season when I was at the young age of 7. In the second season I had a season ticket and have had a season ticket ever since (other than 1 season where my dad could no longer go about 5 years ago) Next year will be my 10th season ticket, what better way to celebrate than at

 

[sams dad]

1962/3 relegated from 3rd Div
1963/4 7th in Div 4

 

[Andrew]

2004-2005 - 20th
2005-2006 - 24th (R)

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Old Div 3 at the delightful Priestfield

So 23rd and 23rd I think... Certainly no flair and no glory hunting!

 

[Seagull73]

The Old Division 2 - Finished Bottom in 1987 Relegated
The Old Division 3 - Finished Runners-Up 1988 Promoted..!

 

[The Auditor]

19th twice on the trot div 3. 73/74 - 74/75
