Here you go @Rcbantam ....You might need this.

 

Remember that night at Forest away in the cup? Proper class that was.

 

It doesn't hurt though. It reminds us what can be achieved with a little bit of arrogance and ambition.

 

To have a chairman like Richmond now

 

And to think many on here wish he'd never bought the club.

 

Many on here would be happy if they only ever saw league 2.
We were blessed to have witnessed 2 seasons in the PL not to mention the promotion season before it.
Future fans will never see that again so memories are all we have.
Thanks Geoff for giving me those memories

 

Brian Mitchell...now there's the type of pro we could use. Nothing flashy, just solid / dependable / reliable and all the other similar descriptive terms.

I know the sci-fi code means you cannot mess with the past, but it would be nice to go back in a parallel universe, give Dolan the players he wanted, and see if our 'nearly' team would have become the 'did it' team. I think we would have.

RCB

 

Said it on here before but seeing him waving out of the window of his green Bentley on away trips like he was some sort of deity will always be a memory of those great times.Looking forward to matches in them days rather than seeing it as a chore.

 

Spot on. The real reason we remember these games isn't for nostalgia, its to remind ourselves of what we could be. We could be so much more than cheap tickets and 'just be grateful we have a club'

 

Richmond dared to dream and left a legacy at VP with the 50% new ground with the stands etc.
He took us from division 2 to the premier league and kept us there in what 4 seasons? Playing some of our best football we have ever seen and will see again with that promotion side.
Yeah he had 6 weeks of madness but without the dodgy dividend payments and the itv digital collapse I think we’d have been alright with a good chance of coming back up or at least competing at the top end of the championship for a while and with that probably come a chance of further investment.

 

I go back into a parallel universe after a few whiskies on a Saturday night.

 

Stop looking backwards. It's gone.

Remissing is not going to bring future glories

 

What a miserable sod!
I’ll just throw my bradford vs leeds ticket in the bin then no need for sentiment!

 

Well listening to some on here we have no future.

 

But we'll keep on supporting OUR CLUB wont we ?.

 

No no no it was the league cup game! Hanson with the winner!

 

And Villa in the simod Cup, 5 nil...

Halcyon days

 

An unbelievable scoreline, that was the season we beat Newcastle at Valley Parade (I believe Gazza played) then drew Southampton at home where Andy Townsend had a great game and Dolan pursued him along with Keith Curle but as we know Jack wouldn't sign them.

 

Same night as the Kings Cross disaster that one
