1899 Our 1st ever league fixture on this day

[erimus74]

Was a 0-0 home draw v Gainsborough Trinity, 2nd division fixture

It was our 4th consecutive game unbeaten, our longest run to date which consisted of 3 draws & a win

John Robsons team went on to finish in 14th place, out of 18 clubs, in our debut season as a football league club

Our home record kept us out of the bottom 2 places, losing 5 games, but winning 8 & drawing 4 we collected enough points to survive, we only winning 4 away from home (4 draws)
