ON THIS DAY - May 7

Relegated to the third tier for the first time
In the last game of the season, we were relegated to the third tier on this day in 1945. We needed both a win for us and Leicester loss to escape the drop. While we got a 1-0 victory overy Bury, Leicester got a 1-1 draw away at Cardiff to put us in the third tier for the first time in our history.
