I started watching them when we were playing in Div 3 and have seen us promoted 5 times and relegated 5 times and now nearly 50 years later we are still in Div 3!!  This season could be the first time I have seen us win a division though and the first time we could top 100 points!

I actually never played football at any level, wasn't any good at it!!

It never ends with them.
He's not going to have the time to sit down with Barry and discuss our 'irregularities' at this rate
