I was fooled by how professional that looked and the use of the word 'official'. It is easy to spot the genuine article .... official announcements from the club will always use their official logo ... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are almost as obsessed about it as they are about us.....Oh yeah, now I remember it is because they recently found out that Wally isn't as rich as Steve and they have been left to look like the gift that just can't help giving AGAIN ...... What's the 1883? Their highest-ever attendance? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'd be embarrassed if my club were founded in 1883 and in all that time 'unparalleled success' meant getting promoted to League 1. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 1883 date relates to the predecessor of the predecessor of one of the teams that merged to become horse Punching Sag Losers FC. But since when have they been concerned with facts?

I remember looking at the data and seeing only two seasons when they had higher gates than us, once in the fifties and 82/83 as you said. There might be a confusion with the number of times they have finished above us in the league, which is about 12 times.

On a slightly seperate note, it's really quite strange how usually, a promotion season for one team is mirrored by the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost bound to be like that when a club comes out of non-league. The novelty factor of playing full time big name clubs every week will be quite a draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
