Youth 4 nil at home. Beautiful day. 2000+ crowd. McClure with an utterly outrageous chip. Felt like the start of a wonderful new era.

That game will forever be infamous now, I can remember being sat there thinking "this is us now, this is the new norm" - within 2 weeks, we'd stank the place out against Kettering, lost 0-9 at Chorley and we were back to 800 attendance at home to Curzon.

That purple patch is so detached it seems like it never happened. A small dot on a tail dai of mostly averageness

A few others I can think of.
3-2 win away to Kiddy in 2019. I think we were 2-0 down and Jeacock saved a penalty late on as well. We never seemed to get a result there so I couldn’t believe it when we came back to win!
4-2 away win against FC United in 2016. One of my favourite away games I’ve been to.
2-1 win away to Truro in 2019 which was a massive win to help us stay up and Fab’s goal which is the best I think I’ve seen live!

Four managerial changes in the first ten seasons. Six managerial changes in the last five.

The first season after promotion saw a bit of a changing of the guard. A lot of the squad who got us promoted were found to be out of their depth and moved on quickly. In the first few months we looked desperately out of our depth, getting outplayed by "big guns" like Droylsden and Eastwood.
I would never have believed we'd be here for 15 years.
We managed to steady the ship (thanks Bath), and tread water during our exile. Finally got home, had a couple of good seasons, then undid all the hard work.
Highlights of the era were the Tom Webb Chorley game, Chippenham FA Cup win (not sure I'm allowed that), and of course 4-3 Vs Chorley last year to get into the play offs.
I've had a month or so off since we've gone down, but am looking forward to us being a bigger fish in a smaller pond next season. We can be the Chester/York/Stockport.
