They will be talking about Ian Benjamin's goal at Bury and they will be talking about Jo Pigott's goal at Wembley because its the league that matters.

Yes the league is important i agree , but so are the clubs finances ,and decent cup runs and appearances at Wembley because of what you call a tinpot trophy and matches against Man U ,Spurs , chelski etc over the years have provided the club with much needed revenue, im sure without that we wouldnt even be in league one .

We finished 8th in 1952/3 season. Leyton Orient were 14th.
We did come 3rd in 1950 on goal difference but that was Northampton who pipped us. I think if it had been 3 points for a win then we would have got 2nd spot.
