donny, donny, donny...

OK so at best I can only claim to be a fair weather supporter, but hey donny are in the midst of a footy indian summer so what the hell, I'm making hay whilst the sun shines!


Donny hold the dubious records for the most wins in a league season (33 in 1946-47) and in 1997-98, they also set the record for losses in a season, suffering the humiliation of enduring a record 34 league defeats as they finished bottom of Division Three and went into the Football Conference and there we laboured for 5 long years, playing teams such as 'Leigh Railway Mechanics Institute Football Club'!


So to find ourselves after a meteoric rise through the leagues, beating Leeds United at Wembley to climb to the heady heights of the Championship is something bordering on the miraculous!

Who knows, I may even pay to see a game!

Ah, well imagine how the Shrimpers felt when the mighty Southend United beat Man Utd!!!!

p.s. Being more of an egg-chaser, I don't really understand all this footie obsession!
