1984–85 Stoke City F.C. season
The 1984–85 season was Stoke City's 78th season in the Football League and 52nd in the First Division. Bill Asprey was given the managerial position on a permanent basis by the board following the previous season's close escape. However, the 1984–85 season was to be a sorry experience for all connected with the club as from the first kick to the last Stoke were hopelessly bad, winning just three of their 42 league matches managing to pick up just 17 points, a record low which would stand for 21 years. Stoke scored just 24 goals and conceded 91 giving them a truly awful goal difference of –67. Supporters stopped attending matches with crowds falling below 5,000. The season became known as The Holocaust season and Stoke would not gain a return to the top flight until 2008.
