On this Day – 22nd April 1989

The Bulls defeated Doncaster Rovers in a 3-1 drubbing at Edgar Street to move to the heady position of 11th in League 2 (then Division 4) with just four games to play.

Doncaster were sat at 18th with just goal difference keeping them above the Monkey Hangers. Colchester were rock bottom and bound for relegation to Non-League with Darlington clear of the drop zone by four points. Burnley, for the time being, a now premiership outfit occupied The Bull’s traditional 17th spot.

Interestingly, League 2 also contained Scarborough, Wrexham, Cambridge United, Exeter, Yark, Grimsby, Carlisle, Torquay and Halifax, all of whom have or are about to spend time outside of the great 92.

Funny old game.
