Great times, even sweeter when you remember all the years when we were struggling in the bottom tier, saying that even then we had heroes like Warren Joyce

Yes he's a legend but people do change history a bit with Joyce, deciding to overlook the part when he was probably our most hated player after the empty Kempton celebration...

I've been going to City for about 12 years now and I've witnessed FOUR promotions. It's madness really, has any other team had a period quite like this?

Hopefully I'll never see a promotion again...

Same for me pal <ok>. Probably only Swansea can better our success of the last 10 years. I would have never thought when I watched us play the likes of Macclesfield, Mansfield and Shrewsbury that we'd be preparing for league matches against the likes of Man United and Liverpool for the third time in 5 years. I feel especially lucky given that during his lifetime my Grandad never got to see City play in the top flight.

The season we got relegated from the premier league we played dazzling football, compared to seasons past.

The last 5 or so seasons have certainly been good - the worst I think was finishing 8th in the Championship last season (which half of championship sides have been happy with) and 2 promotions, the automatic this season I think has to beat the play-off final and I wonder how many of us shed a tear (or maybe buckets full) when the result came in from Vicarage Road.

Hopefully we can have a long period of stability in the PL - as I don't think the collective nerves could much more
 
You are extremely lucky for sure! I also consider myself lucky too, I have been going to city since the late sixties and only missed a handful of home games, I have seen everything happen to our club and have been through every emotion imaginable. Believe me when I tell you this, but having gone through all that we have over the last 40 odd years, makes Saturday even more wonderful for me and going to Wembley to win the playoffs blew my mind, I was so proud as I was on Saturday, both occasions brought me to tears.
This is something I have tried to explain to the plastic supporters of the likes of Man utd, Chelsea etc who are from hull, they will never appreciate or have the same feelings we have felt over the last few years and in many ways I feel sorry for them, you have to experience the lows to appreciate the highs and this is something that the new premiership supporters need to appreciate as time goes by. I cannot imagine following one of these teams, I don't think they really know what feels like to feel part of a club as I/we do.
 
Those of us who were going in the late 70's and early 80's experienced a very different type of football match experience and I feel sorry for those who never experienced those times.

I was lucky enough to experience the 70's/80's match experience, many great times but little success, desperate times in the 90's when I was mocked in my own City for 'still going to City', these last 10 years have been glorious. CTID.
