Well summarised Dave. I can remember every detail of previous fade outs that you've alluded to. Hopefully we'll win the play-off final in a couple of months!

You did mention Oldham but I was expecting a comparison with temperatures at Boundary Park in 1990.

When it comes to football my memories of extreme conditions are instant.

Wettest - Huddersfield away 1987
Coldest - Notts County away 1992
Frosty/Icy playing conditions - Liverpool at home 1984, Ian Rush hat-trick.

For some reason I have no recollections of particularly hot ones,although if my memory of being at the game as an eleven year old is right I seem to recall Rotterdam was very humid.

On my (four I think) visits to Oldham I do recall it was never quite a tropical paradise. In fact it made Blackpool seem like the Bahamas.

What is it that is 'done' every week?

I'd been avoiding reading that thinking it was going to depress me even more after this weeks game's but it's actually had the opposite effect.  Hopefully history can repeat itself.

Were we such unlikely challengers in '90?
Presumably Leicester '16 take the ultimate accolade.

We had Ian Ormondroyd in the team.

Considering how we'd stayed up the previous season and the run we'd been on before Dean Saunders did what he did best and missed a hatful of chances for Derby that probably kept SGT in a job, i'd say there's a gnats chuff between us and Leicester.
