It
is with perhaps a sad irony that our 'On
This Day' feature returns to recall that famous clash with
Dagenham & Redbridge from our first season in the Conference.
Dagenham, currently rooted to the bottom of the League Two table (at
the time of writing before the weekend's fixtures), appear to be
heading for their second successive relegation on their way back to
the Conference. They have spent five years in the Football League,
winning a shock
promotion at Wembley over Rotherham United to earn themselves a
place in League One, alongside the likes of Charlton and Sheffield
Wednesday, before tumbling back down the ladder with a nosebleed.
