Wednesday win the final match of the season to avoid being relegated to the 3rd Division (Tier 3), for the 1st time in the club's history by just a point.  Unfortunately it just delayed the inevitable as Wednesday were sunk without trace the following season, in probably the worst season in the club's history. Derek Dooley is infamously sacked on Christmas Eve by chairman Matt Sheppard and Gerry Young takes over as caretaker, drawing four and winning one of his five matches in charge.  Steve Burtenshaw takes over with Wednesday in 20th and somehow Wednesday gain enough points to finish just above the drop zone in 19th.
