Quoted from Teestogreen
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.


True,but there is no divine right to achieve in this game. Let's just hope we return to the highs I've read so much about!

Quoted from JMT
Only 16 so born in 1998.

Since following town I've experienced;

2006 Play offs.
Burton Away.
Wembley 2008
Wembley 2013
Newport Play Offs
Gateshead Play Offs.
Huddersfield in the Third round.

No good times..


Plenty of time young 'un and it will be sweet when it happens.

My first season was promotion in 79/80. Beating Sheff Utd 4-0 At BP in front of 20,000 will never be topped, even if I live to be 150. Seen my fair share of promotions and an ever bigger portion of relegations and disappointments.

I'm 25. My first game was a friendly vs Leeds in '96. First season ticket was the '97 relegation season .First (and last) promotion was '98. I missed the Anfield win as I had no-one to take me but still have good memories of beating Tottenham and going to Wembley and the Millenium etc despite results.

We've got to get out of this sewer of a league and make some new memories soon ffs.

I'm 24. Can't remember us getting promoted in 98, but have vague memories of the Auto Windscreen Final, when I see Burnetts goal I feel like I can remember being there seeing it. I was 7 that season. Also remember the names of Wayne Burnett (IIIRC was my favourite player), Groves, Livingstone, Davison, Mcdermot I could check it up it if they were all that era, but I'm just going off memories of a very young kid. Still got and wear the Dixon shirt from that season (it was my older brothers of course, not mine!! I'd like to think a younger cousin is still wearing mine...)

I can of course remember subsequent Wembley and Cardiff visits all too clearly, unfortunately!

P.S: Dixon shirt might have been season after. Can remember the Food Town tops, don't think we kept them though... what season did we change kit sponsor from Food Town to Dixon?

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Success is all the sweeter when you have tasted failure,
