| A Season in Photos - Part Eight - From Salisbury (H) to Bath (H) |
| Poor old Burnsy never had it easy did he? After starting his City management career with a team made up of youth players and the best of Brockworth his last test was against runaway team leaders Salisbury, matching his thousand pound a week budget with their £8500. It's no surprise that they won although Chris' men pushed them to the limit and Wilko equalised with a splendid over the shoulder effort that left Kev Sawyer rooted to the spot. |

| The End of an era |
|
| Managerless, City turned to Neil Mustoe and Adie Harris to steer the ship until the end of the season. Their first (and only) game was against Tiverton Town with a surprise appointment waiting in the wings. |
| The game was one of the most remarkable of the campaign as City came back from 1-3 down to lead 4-3 with three goals in six minutes including an audacious flashing half volley from twenty-five yards by Dave Wilkinson. Although, if anyone could throw it away then a Tigers defence could, and they did. |

| That'll be Tivvy's first then |

| The pitch was a bit muddy for Luke's penalty kick |

| Why do they always put short players in the wall? |

| The net billows from Dicky Mansell's only ever City goal |
|
 |
| But it mattered little cos we couldn't defend for shit! |
|
| Muzzie and Adie only lasted a week because another Harris, Tim, left his post at Merthyr Tydfil to take the reins at City for what was his "dream job". His first game in charge was a disappointing defeat at Grantham, albeit with Burns' players, and that was after taking an early lead through Adie H! |

| Out came the axe after the Grantham game and in came some new faces including Mark Preece, Michael Whittington, Jorge Ferro, Jody Bevan and Jon Miller. We still lost as our defence struggled to gel against an in form Bath City team who up until this game rarely took anything away from Meadow Park. Ironically the first goal was scored by Alex Sykes who'd recently spent a month at City getting fit! |
