Yes I think they’d say he did great that season. Much like they say Ranieri did fantastic in the season they won the prem, much like all fans should when we achieved a double promotion i think they wouldn’t even mention it cause they would be embarrassed they dropped so low Funny, I remember chatting to Leicester fans that season and they were calling Pearson a legend. You can’t ignore history, which for some reason you’re trying to do

I couldn’t care less what Leicester think of any of their managers. We were 2minutes from the league title. Forget levels, the pressure on Darrell’s shoulders that season was as heavy of any Rovers manager in history. i try to forget yes as being in the conference is embarrassing and not great that we finished behind the mighty Barnet and scraped through luckily against Grimsby Yet one of the most enjoyable seasons (as a supporter) we have had, especially on the road. I’m sure you’ll agree?

I’m sure you’ll agree? IT was. Such a refreshing change to go to small town clubs where the supporters seemed to be really involved in the running. I'll never forget one club, maybe Bromley? Where they were selling the entrance tickets off a trestle table in the car park, with hundreds of pounds in those little petty cash tins. It was like paying to go into a village fete! I think it may have been the game where several hundred Gas were refused entry, even though one home end was practically empty. Having said all that, it was a relief we only had to do that for one season, I think the attraction may have faded after that.

The game of being locked out was Woking I believe? Whilst I never want to go back, no doubt that non league had its own certain charms. It was great fun whilst winning but I can’t imagine what it must have been like for teams like Luton

Crap, John Ward took the us to the conference, DC had just a few weeks to try to stop it against all odds. He had 8 games. 24points. We needed a point to stay up. We could have gone out and played behind the ball, instead it was played like a must win game, and we lost. he took us down He didnt have 8 games to get one point you fanny

Fed up with the helmets on here who don't appreciate DC. Cool. Don't post in threads concerning him then and let those of us who do wish him well and appreciate everything he did for us appreciate him.
Same people who post about Lines being sh**.

I’m sure you’ll agree? for one season was ok but if we didn’t go up the support would of died right down,it was the expectation of winning every week that made more supporters go

Was hilarious at the time because the inbreds got hold of it on here and thought we were being serious about the “ another 10,000 locked out” comments on here for a good year afterwards. No sense of grandeur at this club they needed to look closer to home. I loved the conference season it was one of my most enjoyable and up there with the rest of our promotion seasons.

We did not get 10-11k the season prior, we did so because of what DC was doing. Do not get it twisted.

I genuinely believe if it wasn't for DC, BRFC 1883 Ltd. would have folded and we would now be following a homeless "phoenix" club. Had we not been promoted at the first attempt from the Conference and ultimately been taken over by the Jordanians, a non-league BRFC would have defaulted on the MSP Bridging loan that idiot Higgs had taken out and our situation would've had far more dire consequences than where we find ourselves currently.
The detractors will say we got lucky in the playoffs or at Wembley etc, but for me the fight we showed after missing out on automatic promotion was just indicative of the grit and determination in the squad DC had assembled.
