I remember watching us against Crawley in our first season. The game was dire, the atmosphere was none existent and Crawley brought about 60. That was the first time I knew I didn't want to carry on going. Not sure it was much different to playing them in L1 tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the season when Ripley was outstanding behind the leader Peter Clarke and we had a load of players (some on loan) who actually appeared to give a shit for the club, bought into the siege mentality and delivered to the best of their ability. Sadly it was the following season when all semblance of team spirit within the club disappeared and has never been seen since IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
