News
We did not go up! Jenkins is injured and is absent for
4 months leaving Watford without a man who had been a regular scorer in
the rise so far. The side became unsettled due to a large turnover of
players who had to bed in. Including Martin Patching, Eric Steele,
Malcolm Poskett and Legend Wilf Rostron.
The only real highlight was a Quarter Final FA Cup
match with Arsenal which we lost 2-1.
Off the pitch. The Family Enclosure is launched in the
front of the main stand, the bend between the Rookery shed and the
Shrodells Stand is given the luxurious concrete treatment and the
Rookery is segregated.
On a sad note ex chairman Jim Bonsor dies.
In the League we finish 18th out of 22 of Division
2.
We Won 12 Drew 13 Lost 17
We Scored 39 Goals and conceded 46.
