Can you remember what promotion feels like?

Quoted from sutton mariner

I'm 18.. Feel for me

I'm not allowed to do that any more.....  

Started supporting Town just after the Buckley double promotions so didn't experience those.  Obviously though remember the Wembley double quite well as was the year I moved to secondary school, loved shoving my fantastic experiences in the faces of all thos plastic premeir league fans.  Feeling was quite sensational, is hard to put down in words how happy that occassion was, can still recall screaming at the ref to blow the whistle and then finally it going.  As others have said the 6 minutes felt nerve wracking at the time but on t.v. Northampton really were not as threatening as I remembered.  

Getting back into the football league will beat that by a long way though.  Then I was lucky enough just to experience it, if/when it happens I will really feel I have earnt it and deserve the experience as oppossed to just being a lucky kid getting into football at the right time.  Always have to give massive respect for those Town fans on here (or at the games of course, anyway in fact) who don't have those memories to cling to!

Quoted from Biccys

Can I just bring everyone back down to earth by telling them that when (if) we go up this year, we're going up to the bottom tier of League football.

For the 16 year old Town fan on this thread, for example, that won't matter one jot.

So no, no you may not  

17 years is probably the longest this club has ever gone without a promotion. I was lucky enough to see a promotion in my first season (71-72). My son, now 17, is yet to see one and half-jokingly asked me on the way home from Woking why I hadn't taken him to the Wembley games in 98.

It's obviously been a character building experience because despite living in an area dominated by Chelsea (they even have one of their disgustingly lurid blue and yellow shops in Kingston town centre) - his second club is Wimbledon.
