Yes, that's the reason that the question was asked about silverware and not about historical league positions, which is what the original troll, mel, was fishing for.

Right, but we are fairly close. Had you lengthened it to 30 years you would have done a lot better. Don't make the period over 50 years though else you will be ion bother

TBH (and I come in peace - this is TRULY not an attempt to wind you up), but if we're talking simply end-of-season league positions, I think going back to 1960, you would be quite surprised. The problem is that I've got no records of where Wakey finished in 1995/6, 1996 and 1997, and I need to check some 2nd division tables from the 1980s (which are currently up the loft) to do a full comparison. If you could pm me the finishing positions of Wakey in1995/6, 1996 and 1997, I'd be genuinely grateful.

Thanks.

Just looking forward to the game, regardless of the final result. Really enjoy the atmosphere from walking down from town right up to cheering Wakey on from our end down the lane. Think a good crowd does both our club's bids some good.
Something to continue to look forward to if we both lose out on the franchises.
Would expect us to get about 16 start with the bookies.
Wish we still had the likes of Dale Ferguson and Broughy for the fixture.

Think it will be a good game and without sounding disrespectful I expect us to win. Friday was poor but still wasn't a loss, if we can start to moan about draws then were making headway I expect big performances from our superior pack leaving chase n Orr to there thing. Hopefully ISA be back to start where he left off. But genuinely no disrespect but d'arn lane i do expect a big score to cAs.

Don't know to be honest.

The two that really count though are 1966-67, 1967,68

Don't you mean 1968-69 and 1969-70?

I was looking forward to this game until i saw who the ref was. instead of free flowing rugby it will be a whistle fest just hope the players learn from the other two games

Why don't we get "Whispering" Bob Harris in to MC the match, and call it the "Top Grade Whistle Fest?"
