Dean Coneys boots 1,398 Posted March 8, 2009 They fell quick and rose quick...we are in steady decline. This is a much harder and more depressing scenario. We will struggle to become a top hal champ side for at least five seasons or more unless we have MASSIVE investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were 0-2 down in the final to Gillingham with ONE MINUTE to go, before eventually winning on pens.Such a close call. I wonder how much the course of football history would have changed?
