It was treated with less contempt by the top clubs in those days though - it was a full-strength Everton team. Always night matches as well so the atmosphere is better. Nearly all our home giant killings have been on a Tuesday night - no players really fancy Tuesday night at Blundell Park - (last season that included Grimsby Town) - someone even wrote a book about it Cold, fog hanging round the floodlights, smell of fish meal processing mixed with Woodbine smoke...
That's it exactly. The humiliating years and decades make the wins orgasmic highs. Possibly only HAHAHAHartlepool could claim to be infinitesimally more shite than us, yet NO CLUB has a pair of diamonds encrusted in its dung heap history, 2 oases in a vast, boundless desert, that compares to Halifax Town 2, Manchester United 1 and Halifax Town 1 Manchester City 0. I'm getting a contact high just writing about them.
I think we're level, as the list I saw had them on 30 and us on 29 but it was a list just for Football League promotions/relegations so doesn't take into account our promotion back up in 2016.
Your fan club membership application and signed photo are in the post, chuck.
We'll still put 4 past you at The Shay. It's kind of a tradition now.

What are the other groups? Not heard of any other ones. Surely if this one has 25 clubs joining up, that's a fairly substantial base to go off?
Can't recall them all but Gary Neville has his group of 5 or 6, the FSA are already one and are doing their bit, a fair few Supporter Trusts are grouped together as well.
Tbh, while G-Nev is making all the right the noises, I'd be worried about him taking the lead on EFL/non-league issues. His interests are mainly at the top level or Salford related. I do get what you're saying though, a unified front would be the best way but there's nothing to say that groups won't form affiliations with one another further down the line. The FSA one is specifically supporters isn't it? So while there will be shared core values, I'm not sure if it's something that clubs can really get involved in. I think the more pertinent thing to consider is how can these different groups all support each other and work together. I don't think there's anything negative about us, Newport, Exeter, Cambridge, AFCW and Luton all teaming up. Especially if these other 20 clubs get involved. Having all these clubs potentially working together is going to have way more sway than supporters groups and the FSA, I'd have thought.
National League South
Good!
Alan Devonshire who masterminded the famous 5-0 spanking is Maidenhead manager though...
Either here or the National South. Nobody ever really remembers what league they are in from one season to the next.
