Watching town 31 years now. I live off my younger days of watching Town during the Buckley era...my little lad (Liverpool fan) can't believe we were a established 'Championship' club and regularly show him that goal at Anfield to remind him and for myself to remember the good days!

I remember 98, as a young Liverpool fan back then. I'm 26 now (27 in the summer) and I wasn't really much of a fan back then. I remember wanting to go to games back then, because my dad and older brother went to most games home and away back then. I remember watching the shield final V Bournemouth and the play off final V Northampton on Sky I think. My dad and older brother went to both. I were 9 at the time and can't really say I can remember how it felt to get promoted, I were always upset about not being allowed to a game, haha.

We (my family and I) moved away the next year. I use to keep and eye for town's results whilst away. But lost interest in football at the age of 13 after and accident I were victim of gave me injuries which stopped me from playing for a few years. But then I when I started working (age 17) I knew some Peterborough united fans and they were in the same league as town, so then I started looking at town results again. Started to get interested in football again. 2008 came and I wanted to go Wembley in the Johnson's pint trophy final (V MK Dons), but ended up watching it on Sky.

Moved back town that summer of 2008 and started going to games after I started working in a factory. 11th October 2008 Grimsby V Wycombe was the first game I eventually attended. Been going to as many games as I can afford to go to ever since.

Now I'm become quite passionate and proud to call myself a town fan.

Since going to town games, I've only really seen misery and failure, even at Wembley. But WHEN the Mariners get promoted, this time I'll be there! UTM

I have never known a promotion while i have been posting on The Fishy ( not sure what year it started ) but if we do get promoted this season, the day or night after promotion is achieved i would be in front of the computer with a bottle of wine watching The Fishy go ballistic with great pride, then i would ask the moderators on The Fishy if i could change my user name to promotion plaice. I started watching Town about 1978 and have been on a roller coaster ride ever since.

I don't know how many promotions I've seen but seeing we
were in the top flight when I started I must have seen four
more relegations than promotions.

All of the promotion games naturally were great but I seem
I seem to remember watching Town one night at Northampton
when promotion was clinched due to our rivals losing elsewhere.

Not so exciting but equally satisfying.

To be honest - it's just ridiculous being in this division - we're a League 1 club (at least) - simples. - and let's not forget it.
