The inside, in-depth and possibly indiscreet story of a season with Britain's worst football club - East Stirlingshire. The Shire ended the 2003/04 season in the Scottish Third Division with a total of 8 points (boosted by a win in the last game of the season) and a goal difference of minus 88. They cannot be relegated as there is nowhere lower to go. They are the only team at which Sir Alex Ferguson has failed as a manager. Their average home attendance is around 200 and there are behind-the-scenes moves afoot that threaten their very existence. The inside story of the 2004/05 season is set to be very interesting indeed. Whatever happens, they are poised to acquire cult status with the publication of Pointless. At times funny, sad, heart-warming and embarrassing, as events on and off the pitch unfold, it is never likely to be dull. And with the goal of reaching a points total in double figures, the action on the pitch is set to be pulsating.
