How we have fallen!

[geoff pay]

At least we play in Margate.

On my venture to Margate from the Channel Islands earlier in the season I bought the Margate v Cardiff programme a bargain at 20pence and i must admit I did think of how far we had fallen since those days, but ever optomistic the only way is up ( isn't it ??)

Well the "fall" was not the fault of the players, Chris Kinnear, or supporters of the Club.

We should train in MArgate as well as play here!

[ooh!!bodyform]

i still have my programme and all the newspaper clippings from that run even the article that was printed in the sun when we beat leyton orient, oh they were the days

Watched the MOTD tape of the game again recently - a rather surreal experience listening to John Motson commentating on a Margate game. Struck me how much things have changed in 5 years -the players, the ground, the manager, the team strip - and the standard.

 

The game itself was rather an anti-climax after Leyton Orient. We should have done better, and it could have been so different if Phil Collins had scored early on. The crowd was disappointingly small - probably because the club got greedy with the ticket prices.

 

Another featured match on the same programme was Darlington v. Stevenage, in which Robin Trott and Sigere played for Stevenage. No glory for Trotty on that occasion - they lost 4-1.

[ooh!!bodyform]

my programme is signed by motty too and yes i remember 2 days before the game it was a crucial council meeting and a couple of cardiff fans were there and said that no many would travel because the week before they had played shef wed i think,dont quote, and said they paid 12 pound to get in to what he said was a beautiful stand for the same price we were charging for the crapple lol
