Remember that '91st v 92nd in the league'' fixture...

[Tooting Gull]

Couldn't help noticing that it is Dagenham v York tomorrow, or bottom of the league v second-bottom.

This of course became something of a party-piece fixture for Albion in those two grim seasons 96-97 and 97-98.

Not just the obvious one v Hereford, but plenty of others along the way.

The home one against Darlington (2-3) in 1996 springs to mind that left us about 9 points adrift at the bottom, walked out of the Goldstone that night certain we were dropping out of the league.

And the horror matches against Doncaster in 97-98, including that second Fans United game that was the worst match I've ever seen (at Gillingham).

Then you watch Hull and Boro chucking the points away this week, look at the table, and it is so sweet.

Remember Albion v Hull at Gillingham. May have been 90 v 91st, with us 2-0 up at half time - going on to scrape a draw against 10 men. Not the greatest performance. Maybe that was the season that Donny finished below us on 19 points.

Doncaster must have been the worst professional team the football league has seen.

At one point the chairman's(?) neighbour went in goal

Aldershot in 92 were really bad. Lucky enough to have been at Hereford and 4 years later Barnet 2 Torquay 3 last day of the season 91st v 92nd.

14 February 1998 v Doncaster Rovers at Gillingham must have been the worst league game ever. Over 6000 were there for Fans United. Doncaster fans wore fireman's helmets to protest against their chairman's arson attempt on the main stand. Paddy Wilson played left wing for them and was sent to prison the following week. Not for his performance! Prince Moncrieffe was their star striker. I can't really face recalling our team that day. It was abysmal football but we had to avoid defeat.

I've never known an atmosphere like it after that game; funereal doesn't even come close. Everyone left the ground that night with all the carefree joie de vivre of a condemned man approaching the gallows.

I watched York at Oxford, on Tuesday, and they were woeful.

Hoping York come down ,a cracking Weekend away.
