Timely reminder.

Do any of the older supporters remember our promotion year into the old Second Division. With only a few games to go City were top of the league by a clear nine points, then came a slump. The last game of the season arrived, against Colchester, we were now in third place behind Crystal Palace and Oldham. Both Palace and Oldham lost and with us beating Colchester 1-0 we were promoted and as Champions.


If I remember correctly, we took 12000 to Peterborough for a night match just before our slump started, I was there, we lost 2-0 I think!!

Jim Brown covered this season in his latest podcast. I think the collapse started earlier than you remember with the recovery coming in the last few games.
