We were sooooooo bad that season it was untrue. That was the year Macc obliterated us 4 love at Moss Lane, I assume Vics probably beat us twice at Christmas too. Beating Rushden 4-3 on the opening day was literally it for that season IIRC.

That woeful 4-0 home defeat against Macc was actually during the 1995/96 season (on the Saturday before we played Crewe in the FA Cup).

During our (first) relegation season of 1996/97, we lost at home to Macc 1-0 and drew 1-1 at the Moss Rose.

As regards Vics in 1996/97, we lost 3-2 at home to them and drew 2-2 at The Drill Field.

Maybe im wrong but were we not comfortably mid table until beating southport 3-1 (danny mcgoona's debut) at haig avenue around december time or am i thinking the wrong season?

did we not win another game until beating kettering either 3-2 or 4-3 late on in april with sammy ayorinde playing?

rushsen away on the last day was horrible, worse than barry hayles' winner on the penultimate against stevenage which doomed us.

Gus Wareing... discuss?

To take your post in order.

1 & 2. Yes we were. We had something like 35 points after that game but I think only won twice more all season. We may have beaten BRomsgrive 3-1 at Moss Lane in January before we didn't win again til April (apart froma polishe dperformance at Farnboro in the Trophy.



On Saturday, 28th December 1996, we defeated Bromsgrove Rovers at Moss Lane by three goals to one in the GM Vauxhall Conference.

We then didn't win another league match until a 4-3 thriller against Kettering Town at Moss Lane on Saturday, 26th April 1997.

Inbetween those two fixtures, we played 15 league games, winning none, drawing 5 and losing 10.

Horrendous days.

During that time, we did actually defeat both Gresley Rovers and Farnborough Town in the FA Trophy.....all of which led to a visit to Moss Lane by those affable chaps from Bishop Auckland....
