A poor game and an equally dreadful display from Jim Smith's depleted side never looked like giving United their first win in seven games.

In a sign of the times, a larger crowd were present at SJP 24 hours later for the club's open day - a meet and greet / ground tour affair arranged as part of the abortive share flotation.



Blue text is particularly interesting a sit is airbrushed from history. They shouted on for a share issue and the fans turned it down and the club actually lost money trying to float. Toon army (1193) propaganda has you believe that us beating them in the play offs saw the Halls steam in, it didn't. The fans turned their backs on the club and this infuriated Hall and he went away again for a year or two.
