THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR) :: View topic

That’s a lot more than any other club has crammed into fourteen years, isn’t it?

If you were a ten year old kid taken to your first game at the NHS in 2004 then by the time you’re twenty five you’ve pretty much seen everything there is to see in the game:

(in no particular order)

- A league title won at a canter with players far too good for the level they’re at.

- A promotion won on the final day with news coming from elsewhere that the unlikely was happening.

- A hundred goals in a season

- An all-time record equalling number of away wins.

- A dispiriting (character building?) relegation or two.

- A last gasp survival on the final day with a screamer to win it.

- Your team walk out on a sunny spring day and win a cup at Wembley.

- Crushing play-off defeats.

- A day in which the whole world wanted you to lose, only to nick it with an outrageous iconic goal that will never be repeated.

- An attention grabbing cup upset that reverberated around the world and one it’s victims are still reminded of.

- A local young lad come though the ranks and rise to a level where he can genuinely be considered world class.

- loans of future stars of tomorrow that would go on to achieve international recognition.

- loans of awful players who’ll never be heard of again.

- The arrival of former greats of the game who still had something to offer.

- An annual change of manager.

- A longstanding manager who implemented a style of football that was lovely to watch.

- A brief appointment who who’s football was no more than functional but bought in the players to build the club.

- A manager who went on to lift the Champions League.

- A move into a new stadium that’s everything the chairman promised it would be (koi carp & fountains not withstanding).

That’s a lot more than any other club has crammed into fourteen years, isn’t it?

Thanks for that. I have a feeling we will need to read it again later to-day.
