In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
I remember listening nervously to Radio Orwell for their match updates donning the full orange away kit including socks, then heading straight to the park with my Town scarf to celebrate after the final whistle.
Oh to be 25 again.

My annual reminder to dust off that Monday’s front cover of the EADT and show the kids again. What a day that was and back in town in time for beers at the Blackadder with the players. TWTD

Then on the Saturday reminding Brighton fans, who had stayed to enjoy the celebrations, they had a train to catch.
I've always had a soft spot for Brighton because of that game - even though the game relegated them, they still seemed up for congratulating us for going up.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Let’s hope for the same reaction from Huddersfield next Saturday . . 🤔

Brighton had a toothpaste kit and were sponsored by Nobo. I felt sorry for them. How times change.
I couldn’t do the Oxford game. No ticket and work in the morning meant no chance - I’d got to a lot of the preceding games but that one wasn’t to be. Bl**dy typical.
I got home and washed the car listening to radio 5. The final score came through as Mrs C came running out shouting ‘they’ve done it!’.
I locked the car, scooped Basil the cat off the parcel shelf (he always supervised) put the cleaning cloths away, went in, sat down, turned the tv off, strangely, and opened a can of beer. A private moment. God, I enjoyed that beer. After a couple more it was an amble to the kebab shop for takeaway elephants leg accompanied by wine, fizzy stuff and goodness knows what. Brilliant evening.
The following week, my dad was in hospital after a minor operation and couldn’t go to the game so Mrs C came with me. We stood in Churchmans and enjoyed every single moment. We went to the Cornhill for the bus parade the following day. Who can ever forget Chris Ks lilac suit? A thing of beauty. Happy days. What a season. We had a smashing team.
