The nostalgia continues with a visit to the 48k City Ground from 'The Quakers', Darlington FC.
Not unlike 'The Shakers' (Bury FC), Darlington were known as 'The Quakers' due to their fondness for porridge.
A person from Darlington, yesterday.
Sadly, Darlington FC are no longer with us, having fallen foul of the great beakfast purge of 2012, during which any football team which did not have a mascot licenced by Kellogs was automatically kicked out of the football league.
It happened. Look it up. Why else do you think Arsenal's new logo features Snap, Crackle & Pop?
So, 4 -0 win last time out, what can we do today?
Neil from the Young Ones is injured, George Bernard Shaw makes his debut, Keegan is out and the Dorset resort of C Regis is playing in place of Robert Morley.
C Regis, Yesterday.
Robert Morely - Unphased, yesterday.
I think we're looking pretty good. The squad is coming together nicely and I think we are going to be OK.
I mean, with numbers like that and with the home advantage - how could we lose?
Let's find out.
0 - 1 Oh, that's unfortunate. It appears Neil from the Young Ones may have played an integral part in our recent successes.
0 - 2 A very integral part, yes. Still there's plenty of minutes left for us to mount a spirited comeback.
0 - 3 You useless bastards.
Now I remember how you can lose a match in spite of being overwhelming favourites. You can select to play as Forest. That's how.
At least Hereford and Torquay lost and Halifax drew, so it's limited the damage a bit. But we will slip down the table nontheless.
Could be worse. Just.
Ouch. Expensive week with nothing to show for it.
I'm sure there'll be a silver lining on the transfer market though.
No. I don't want Heather Mills on my team.
I'm close to inconsolable.
I feel like someone has left my ice-cream out of the freezer for 40 seconds.
Next time, we have an FA Cup tie with the big boys from Division 3.
Laterz.
