Oh look, we\u2019ve stumbled into creating a new series of articles. So, what are we doing here? Well, Boro\u2019 have two matches left in the League One<\/a> season and the playoffs are enticingly dangling in front of us like a carrot on a stick. Right now, our 2025-26 playoff push is still in our hands. But, when we were in the hunt with two or three to play in years gone by, was it good news or bad? If we were in, did we stay in. Did we fare better when we were out until the last? That\u2019s what this is all about. And why we\u2019ve called it \u2018Notes From History\u2019.<\/p>\n

Like we\u2019re Bill Bryson or something.<\/p>\n

With beautiful symmetry, all but four teams in the Nationwide Conference were on 39 games played as we went into our third-last fixture in 2004-05<\/a> \u2013 a home match against Gravesend & Northfleet. And look at how tight the playoff race was! Carlisle and Hereford were only three more points on from the rest of the pack in second and third respectively. Boro\u2019 had a tough double whammy of an inferior goal difference and a three-point gap to overcome.<\/p>\n

But we did it. <\/p>\n

A 2-0 win against the Fleet<\/a> was followed up by a crucial 2-1 win away to Crawley<\/a> on Tuesday 19 April. Going into the final game at home to Leigh RMI, we were now one point behind the playoff places; Morecambe and Aldershot Town both on 70 points. It\u2019s never nice to need an enormous favour from results elsewhere \u2013 but Tamworth holding the Shrimps to a draw was the invitation we needed. And victory against the Railwaymen<\/a> did the job.<\/p>\n

For the second year on the spin, we were on the outside looking in as we went into the final couple of games of the 2005-06 Nationwide Conference<\/a> campaign. Again, we were vying with Morecambe to be at that end of season party. But it was MUCH tighter. In fact, we were level on points \u2013 but needed a six-goal swing. So, our first job was to overcome York City indoors; the Minstermen themselves still mathematically in the hunt.<\/p>\n

The Shrimps went and beat Gravesend & Northfleet (who we beat at a similar stage the year before). That ended York\u2019s hopes of the playoffs. But not before the Minstermen messed up our chances by claiming a draw that did nobody any favours. So, it took us to the final game where we needed a win and Morecambe to lose. That\u2026 didn\u2019t happen. We fluffed our lines in the last game to be played at The (Old) Lawn<\/a>, while the Shrimps won at Grays Athletic.<\/p>\n

It was also the last match of the GW Mk I era.<\/p>\n

The latter stages of the 2007-08 Blue Square Premier<\/a> campaign is a lesson in wheels coming off something. With four fixtures to go, we were in third position and had a four-point buffer from the playoff chasers. Two games later, we\u2019d ballsed it right up and were now playing the dreaded catch-up. Dino Maamria brought Northwich Victoria to town for a match we just had to win to have a sniff at the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Vics claimed victory<\/a> as the Peter Taylor era spiralled to an ignominious end. We could be fair to him and say that our run of matches immediately before that was HARD. The four games before the Vics\u2019 visit saw us play Exeter (H)<\/a>, Torquay (H)<\/a>, and Burton (A)<\/a>. Now, the defence of EEMPT (DWAH) ends there. We lost all three of those fixtures, which did enormous harm to our chances. A final day win at Halifax Town<\/a> was irrelevant.<\/p>\n

Lookie here \u2013 another season in which Boro\u2019 came into the dying stages of the season with a wee bit of work to do. The Conference wasn\u2019t bad for tight playoff chases at this time, was it? Title races? Less so. Anyway, it turned out our penultimate game of the 2008-09 Blue Square Premier<\/a> season would be a biggie. Kidderminster Harriers came to town and it was a winner-takes-all clash. Well, it wouldn\u2019t have quite been the death knell for the loser. But\u2026<\/p>\n

We ran out 3-1 winners<\/a> and that was significant because it meant we went into the final day with matters in our own hand. Mind you, we did our best to fluff our lines right at the death; defeat at Mansfield Town<\/a> could have been disastrous. Luckily, both Kiddy and Oxford lost on that final afternoon too. It meant we set up a tantalising playoff encounter with Cambridge \u2013 and the less said about that, the better. <\/p>\n

We ultimately didn\u2019t need the playoffs to exit the Conference and reach the promised lands of the Football League. Our maiden campaign in League Two saw our momentum really pick up after 2010 became 2011. Indeed, we got to that point with two to go in the 2010-11<\/a> season where we\u2019d gatecrashed the top seven. Thanks to our superior goal difference(!), Rotherham United and Port Vale \u2013 both six points behind \u2013\u00a0needed a mathematical miracle to swap in.<\/p>\n

So, it left us and Gillingam to battle it out for the final place. Our hopes were put at risk with defeat in our penultimate fixture; a 2-0 defeat at Northampton<\/a> only proved not to be a total disaster because the Gills lost indoors against Macclesfield Town. Neither side could find an important win on the last day either. We drew 3-3 with Bury<\/a> \u2013 but this ended up being plenty when the Gills went to champions-elect Chesterfield and left empty-handed.<\/p>\n

An even more remarkable campaign saw Boro\u2019 come into the final two games of the 2011-12 League One<\/a> season with playoff destiny in their hands. We\u2019d only lost nine times during the season \u2013 as good as Sheffield Wednesday (3rd) and MK Dons (4th), and only bettered by the leaders Charlton Athletic (five losses) and Huddersfield Town in 5th (seven defeats). We also had nine draws in 12 games from the end of February to keep grinding out the points.<\/p>\n

There was just one place up for grabs; Boro\u2019 eight points behind 5th position with six points left to play. Notts County were breathing down our necks, while Carlisle and Brentford were still in with a shout. An impressive 2-2 draw at Sheffield United<\/a> \u2013 destroying their automatic promotion hopes \u2013 kept us in the box seat, albeit on goal difference as County drew level on points with us. They\u2019d need a 13-goal swing on the final day to go above us.<\/p>\n

We removed that very slim possibility by beating Bury 3-0<\/a> to confirm our place.<\/p>\n

The last time we made the playoffs in any division was the 2014-15 League Two<\/a> season. Boro\u2019 were trying to regain League One status at the first attempt. And we weren\u2019t doing too badly either. Although we are kinda distracted by the eerie similarities in the table after 44 games that season to our current situation. The difference this time is that 7th isn\u2019t good enough to squeeze into the League One playoffs, whereas it was\/is in League Two.<\/p>\n

2014-15 is arguably the most comfortable we\u2019ve ever been in a playoff chase with six points left on the table. Both teams immediately below us would need to win both their remaining fixtures \u2013 and one of them was already going to make then playoffs anyway. It\u2019d also require us to lose both games. That went out the window when we beat Carlisle at home<\/a> on 25 April 2015. So, it was almost goading the Hatters to lose to them<\/a> on the final day.<\/p>\n
