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...
 
Exactly the same for me, old chum - twelve years, four promotions. Hopefully next year we can see our first trophy win* <cheers>












*I'm not getting my hopes up...
 
It's crazy, isn't it? I was thinking this myself.

And, not taking anything away from the wonderful 2008 promotion, but you've also seen your side promoted automatically into every division it's possible for a league team to be promoted into (nb for the pedants out there, I know we weren't promoted into League 2/Div 3, but you have to be non-league to be promoted into it).

We really are living in the best era to be a tigers fan.

Well, you're half right anyway.

Don't know if you're lucky though. But I'll take your word for it.

A nice post TWF. Good days...

Strangely, I actually think back to my son as a little boy crying because he thought we were going out of the football league. I remember the bad old days and Warren Joyce yelling at his team mates for all he was worth. I still keep looking at the Championship table to see if Saturday actually happened.

I was thinking similar. I've been going regularly for 25 years and have in person seen 4 of our 10 promotions in our history and half remember another one (under Horton). Not bad at all.

Still, beat my old man - the last 2 City games he has been to he's seen us get promoted to the Premier League!!
 
I was so so glad I finally got to see a promotion in person. 26 years since my first match, but financially could barely afford to go to games in 2003-2005. Missed out on the Play-Offs in 2008 for one reason or another, (work stuff as I recall). So to actually get there on Saturday was for me the absolute best day out at a match ever! Definitely now into the most prolonged successful period in the club's history.
 
I very disappointed been following City for over 20 years and I don't think I've ever actually been to a game where at the end we've been promoted, been to games before and after but never that game :-(... Missed out on the Wembley trip as I was visiting Poland and Auschwitz that week. This time I'm living in Israel, trying to spread the Hull City where I am

Israel... Auschwitz... Are you King of the Jews or something?

if I were the king, I'd have money LOL. Sadly no.. And a trip to Poland to see Auschwitz and sites where events happened, hardly call fun, but worth it. And Israel was a choice for a new start

Me also Cafe, it was the first season i went to see Hull City, sat in the west stand with my dad .

i remember the mansfield home game like it was only yesterday, that was the first game my dad took me to see.

loved the early 70s.

City V Stoke in the Fa Cup was my fav game ever stood with my dad in bunkers packed with Hull and Stoke fans.

BUT saturdays game beats it watching my 2 neices going barmy as City got automatic promotion to the premier league
in only there second season as City supporters.

CTID
 
What is West Brom's record?

I bet they've had a few promotions to the PL.

I agree cafe. That was certainly one of the best, with the team scoring through all the forwards, Chillo, Waggy, Ian Butler, Ken Houghton & Ray Henderson.

Not forgetting that England won the World Cup.
 
Yes, you are a lucky ****. I was going to city (on and off as a kid). I left Hull for the US in 2003 when they more likely to be dumped out of the league altogether, then see any premier league action. Missed two promotions now and gutted about it.
 
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
