The last time we finished 4th...
« on: April 19, 2024, 11:46:43 PM »
    Should we manage it tomorrow, it's worth reminding ourselves that the last time we finished 4th, 29 years ago...

    There were no playoffs
    Macc Town were champions
    Of the 21 clubs in the league:
    • Only one, Stevenage, is now a Football League club.
    • Five, including us, are National League.
    • Nine are in leagues below us.
    • Seven have either folded and reformed as phoenix clubs or folded and disappeared altogether.

[/list]

This is my earliest memory of the GM Vauxhall Conference - so I'll always consider these teams the 'proper' Conference clubs. Probably why I'd much rather had Kidderminster stay up than the likes of Boreham Wood.

Was that the season we beat Myrthr away by some mad score? I recall a ‘Myrthr Maulers’
Headline in one of the local rags…

We beat them away 5-2, probably the 94/95 season, although that doesn’t really qualify as an exceptional result.

Seems to be some substance to it. Apologies.

Sincerely hope the club is challenging the decision to give the bye to Moors who finished below us!
This is shocking. 🤯

It is shocking , Gateshead , Alty and Aldershot  all have reasons to feel aggrieved.

The initial rumour yesterday morning was something about Bromley and their pitch. Seemingly inaccurate but wasn’t a fishing exercise!

Yes. Sorry about that MF I thought you were having fun at the expense of the southern clubs fans.
