...Darren Patterson was sacked with OUFC sitting 16th in the Conference and out of the cup.
We may moan with this season, but I can't say I really miss those days.

Not long till the 10th anniversary of the coming of our Lord then, wonder what the club have planned to commemorate that momentous day?
Pub crawl round Woodstock sounds about right.

And I remember talking to Nick Merry preseason of our chances and he replied “ we have a better team this season” ?

And me Bazzer. I gave him my opinion on what we needed. He said dont worry we have top players lined up and the best manager in this league!!

Whatever happened to Torquay Utd or Patto ?
Torquay currently sat 4th in National League South....... Patto was managing Rotheram United , albeit as caretaker, in 2012
He will be managing an honest bunch of boys somewhere.
What was our team that day? Most of them must be retired by now.

James Constable
The fact that Wilder took that team and almost got them into the playoffs were it not for Faxgate is testament to how good he was, and how dog awful Patto was.
PS. Richard Groves? Apparently youth teamer under Patto, played three times for us...no idea!

Which Matt Taylor was that?? James Clarke is now Bris Rovers full back, Sam Deering is at Billericay with Alfie, as they offered more than Swindon

Even with the 4 point deduction we weren’t in the play off’s I thought, I maybe wrong.

Reply to my own post, if we hadn’t been deducted 4 points we would have had the final play off place.

Remember these ?
About as honest as they get.
There’s a slight irony that for all of Patto’s faults as a manager, if we’d stuck with him in 2006 rather than changing to Jim Smith we may have stayed up.
Then again, we could have been competing at a League 2 level with Nick Merry as chairman so the inevitable would have happened anyway and we would have lost all our money. The socks would have been the first thing to be sold off.

In hindsight, being a sockless wonder was a big clue.

Quiet a few didn’t play much when wilder came in, Day Hutchinson Clarke Carruthers all useless Deering out will a broken leg & was replaced by Chapman Batt Sandwith Clist Nelthrope
But what CW did with that squad was pretty amazing to get them within touching points of the playoff & without the -5 points we’d of won them playoffs thankfully we went up the following season
