And.......Ten of the Worst

Well we have had a look at 10 of the best so it is only fair that we look at 10 of the worst.

Worst Home Game
There are a few to choose from. ,Curzon hurt, Rossendale was simply embarrassing and Bamber was a let down. However, none of these top the debacle of losing at home to Woodley sports at a crucial point in the season, it was simply pants.

Worst Away Game
There are even more to choose from here! Lets cut to the chase - Harrogate Railway in the league was a totally gutless performance against shocking opponents. On top of this it was in front of a massive away following who had bothered to venture out on cold, cold winters day at the end of the festive season. It felt like Town were disprespecting us.

Worst Player to Wear a Town Shirt
I can't actually remember all the ones who have had the pleasure over the past few months but right at the start we were so desparate to field a team that we went far lower than we should have done in the search for players. The easily forgotten Dorryl Proffit stands out, a nice guy by all accounts and someone with fine history that had seen him play at Man City & star for England youth. In his brief stint with us he didn't beat a man or put a cross in - major failings for a winger.

Worst Ground: Alsager was pretty ropey but that was preseason and they were doing us a favour. Lets get back to the mighty Unibond, I'd go for Warrington, totally appalling in every way. It was never good even when it was first built.

Worst Tackle: Too many to mention but Ossett Albion certainly delivered the highest proportion of of appalling challenges per game.

Worst Food: Well I couldn't eat at Harrogate on New Years Day because the 'catering manager' at the posh end of Yorkshire under ordered the pies and everything else. Ten minutes in it was Kit Kats or nothing. Similarly, I gave up trying at Rossendale. Tin pot!

Worst Manager (not including ours): The obvious target here is Simon Clifford of Garforth Town. He remains the strongest example I have seen yet of a person who's self belief spectacularly exceeds their ability, he is a total fantasist, a supreme Walter Mitty. He was supposed to be taking over Newcastle.....like they really need him now.

Worst Referee: This is a lot easier than finding the best one! I don't want to mention the name of this one incase I inflame 'matters' further. We all know who it was, Easter, a small town near Wakefield - in three decades of watching football I have never seen an official as bad as this. There is no excuse and there is no reason for him to ever take the field again. He will also cost us in some way. Disgusting.

Most Annoying Aspect of our First Season: Injuries, plastic pitches, split dressing rooms.............None of the above, just the fact that we should have been much, much better than we were. We will be.

Worst Opposing Supporters: What opposing supporters?
