I reckon 1998 (24 years ago)

Okay, we've had the odd decent result since then,  but as a whole it really is feeling good to be a Mariner at the minute.

1998. They were magical times too and I remember feeling so excited for that Ipswich game on Sky on the Sunday for our first game back in Division One (that save from Richard Wright is still the best I think I’ve ever seen).

Following that up with a trip away to Bolton’s then out of this world Reebok Stadium. Great times, as are these.

I was in turkey watching that game. The pub was heaving with Man Utd and arsenal (?? ‘supporters’ watching the charity shield. That game finished and there’s just me and this Ipswich fan left. They kept the raki and efes flowing and I think I stumbled back to the hotel about Tuesday

Same for me. 1998 was great, but after 6 years in non-league I was starting to fear for the future of the club, and although I wasn’t worried this time, even if were non-league for a while, I don’t think I will ever have the feeling of relief I did in 2016. I cried my eyes out that day, Sunday I just screamed with enjoyment.

The second half is here if you want to relive it. The replay of the save I was referring to is bang on 30 mins. Still no idea how he kept it out.

1958 in the Osmond on a stool behind the goal. Alan Barnett always want to know the horse race winners and the banter he had with the fans was brilliant. The Osmand was full and I remember some loud mouth telling Mike Cullen he was bloody rubbish.

Copper in each corner and a Sargent at the players' tunnel Those were the days that made me a mariners fan for life through good times and bad.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I have to say 1990-1993 when our double promotion and renaming of the divisions when the Prem started meant we went from Division 4 to Division 1 in 3 consecutive seasons.
