Season End Summary
Well, that was the season that wasn't - first time in years Town have had nothing to play for since about February - I guess someone had to finish mid-table, and unfortunately it was us!! This season was fairly forgettable on the pitch, exceptions being the wins at the Galpharm against Bristol City and Swansea (two last minute Pawel Abbott winners), and a league double against (now relegated) Bradford. Gary-Taylor Fletcher made the headlines in August when the third goal against Rotherham at the Galpharm turned out to be the 500,000 in football league history.
Town had a disappointing time in front of the Sky cameras as well - well and truly beaten by Crewe on a wet day in September, and a wretched 4-1 reverse against Yeovil back in January.
Three home cup-ties, three 1st round defeats - about all you can say about that!!!
Biggest disappointment (for me), of course, was Peter Jacksons sacking in March - although given the way the season had been going, maybe it was inevitable (4-1-4-1, what was that about).
Results of late though did pick up, and if we can continue this revival under new boss Andy Ritchie, we could be contenders next season. A clear out of the dead-wood, plus a few new faces to freshen up the place, and who knows!
And finally, in case anyone was wondering who was the face behind these ramblings this season, well it was me.......

To anyone who was sitting near me in the LB Lower this season "...Hi there..." and "...surprise..." (sign the guestbook if you recognise me)!!! Hopefully I will see you all next season, provided I don't find the word "...Reserved..." emblazoned on my seat........
