5 October 2002

The boos resound loudly around Blundell Park as a poor Reading side easily trounce a desperately awful Town 3-0. At half-time fans are heard to pronounce it the worst Town performance for 15 years, and the Cod Almighty team almost drinks the Rutland dry in despair. Encouragingly, however, all that "Groves out" and "sack the board" nonsense is notable by its absence. Gallic psychopath Georges Santos makes his debut as a late substitute to a tremendous reception from the Pontoon, is lucky to escape with a yellow after life-threatening challenges on two Reading players, and legs it as fast as he can to the tunnel as soon as the full-time whistle blows.
