Strangely, after going bust the previous summer and being in the 4th division, that for me was a very enjoyable season.
UTT

Watched it again this morning whilst the kids laid waste to the sitting room - a price worth paying! I remember enjoying the season. Same as always with Town. You forgot that it was the bottom division. It was just us and 20 odd others teams going toe to toe.
Jacko did a magnificent job pulling together that bunch in no time. Some diamonds and some real lower division scufflers.
York away, scunthorpe at home, the elation of rob Edwards vs Lincoln, Iffy back home (with a slight loss of pace...). Stead gettig his fairytale move, Booth reconnecting with the fans after a really poor previous season.
Topping all though were Lawrence penalty (hilarious) and the best goal I've ever seen by Carrs. Keep watching it and remembering how everyone went mad for Di Canios effort with a cycle kick. This was far far better.

Had forgotten how raw that team was, but to unearth Stead, Abbott and Macca in 1 season was incredible. Selling Steady would normally have been suicide. All those players n staff were bigger heroes than our players who took us to the promised land. I know that was magic, but to get prompted and get 80 points starting from 8 players was incredible. In these dark times that video was a tonic and reemphasised what belief and team spirit can achieve.

Apart from the 2016/17 promotion season that is my favourite time watching Town.
Likeable bunch of players, Jacko in charge, promotion after the inevitable Town fuck up in the last game of the season - what's not to like?

I remember giving Keith Curle the middle finger as he got off the coach before the match. I've always been classy
I also remember the huge town flag draped from one of the buildings in Cardiff city centre.
Also the bloody long drive, there and back.

Think I had a promise on back in Huddy! I was 40 when that game happened and I was sort of over footy....all changed when we got to the Prem. Jacko has become a good pal of mine and we often discuss this period. Yeh, Wembley is shit but given the choice...Wembley or Cardiff! |

Its a good season but a poor production of a video.
Final whistle
A New Beginning
Great Escape
All far better made videos, really well made infact!
Want to see these on YouTube, want to see Town make videos to the humour and drama these create. I thrived off these videos as a lad.

You didn't admit to the Swinging site :-) Swinging aint my bag...been in the biggest swinging club in the world...1000 participants and it did not give me so much as a twitch. I am an old-fashioned guy...eyes across a tea-room...a twirl and then a yours or mine. |

Some of the suburbs are nice as well. Some are crappy and some are dodgy. Like most big towns and cities. Oti’s loss on missing out on the celebrations. |

It's a brilliant town centre, with excellent pubs etc. The pre game piss up was far better than anything Wembley has to offer. Loads of pubs right next to the ground. Spot on. It was miles better than the Wembley experience, all round. Bang in the city centre, near to the train station, and great pubs clustered together around the stadium - which is also FAR better IMO. The huge Town flag belonged to a guy who used to post on here....Belfast Terrier? It was hung from the top of a multi-storey car park facing the main parade of Town pubs that day. A great moment when it was unfurled. |

There's a good documentary on BBC iPlayer at the moment. "Shankly:Nature's fire".
Thought I'd see what it was like this morning, and ended up watching the whole 90 mins.
A really good watch, and town get one or two mentions obviously.
