No too surprisingly given the club's growth in support in the last six years and also the growth of the internet during that time, one or two people struggled with Thursday's 'FCRM' reference! Thankfully Ciderspace has archives going back seven years, and so this seems an appropriate point to provide a spot of background reading.
FCRM was born on March 11th 2000 and on that very day, two articles appeared on this site. The first was our then weekly Conference review which can be found here, whilst the second piece to appear related to the punchline in a bizarre soap opera that had been running at the club for a couple of months where mixed message after mixed message seemed to be the sign of the times. That article can be found here.
Next move on to June 2000 where Ciderspace deliberated over the issues surrounding the transition to a full time budget. Was it a good idea? OK, so we may not have been quite so spot on in terms of that issue, but you can still read what the shape of the club was like back then by heading here. Wonder if any of our players are still on 95 quid a week? Finally the six month cycle came to it's end on September 30th 2000 when FCRM shuffled off his mortal coil and went to meet a bloke at the seaside. Our in-depth critical analysis (are you sure? - Ed) can be found here.
In case you're wondering where we got all this from, the Ciderspace Archives Section can be found here.
