[Exile on Spencer St]

Mrs Exile and I were also at that Oxford game; first and only time we walked out early so embarrassing was Stanley's performance. And it came a few days after an equally appalling display at Torquay.
What stuck in our memory was that we sat just behind a gaggle of Scousers, some of the youths fully decked out in Stanley training kit, who we presumed may have had some family relationship with the then manager. They seemed to think the whole match and Stanley's abysmal performance was something of a joke. Believe me, they were the only people sitting with the Stanley fans who found anything to laugh about that day. Perhaps they knew something at the time that the rest of us didn't but which we discovered a few days later.
