We did compete the last time we were in the top division.

In general we were quite unlucky and made some poor signings.

Only a few teams battered us. Leeds (home and away), Liverpool (away).

In general we competed, even in the games we lost heavily.

Don O’s injury and not signing a goal scorer did for us at both ends of the pitch. Along with some dire luck.

And that was on probably the lowest budget in the league (bar the dons)

We did sign a goal scorer ( Rideout) and then stupidly sold him to Rangers. What a mistake that was.

That was purely done for profit yet was seen by some (Jack Dunnet) as a good bit of business. What was also seen as good business was achieving relegation as he said we couldn't survive on such low gates. Brilliant short-sightedness eh? It led to another relegation the next year and even lower gates.

Pavis was the Chairman at the time of Rideout & was pure & simple, make a profit in a short space of time.

The late Derek Pavis was the chairman at the time.
