It's kind of what happens to us though isn't it, just when things look to be going well something throws a spanner in the works, which is why these days I just look for the small victories, and enjoy them.
Back in the dark days of the early 80's when we were struggling to get out of Div 4 playing in front of 2/3000, I was convinced that we'd end up in the top flight, because I'd seen the good years of the 60's and very early 70's, and knew how good we could be as a club. That faith proved well founded, though short lived
Standing in the TE against Darlo with the clubs lowest crowd of some 1,700 where would it end up.
Loved the late 70's v Watford (Motd) 2-1, Swansea 0-1, with the Liverpool team and then beating the Gills 3-1in the famous game
, car turned over on way back to station (shit they were the days).
Had some good times, many bad though.
TE is so crap now. Sad for the younger ones they will never witness that surge.
Still got the bruises now after Everton 2-2 with Stroud's rocket.....lucky the Parka kept my intestines intact
You see Reg some of us can still remember
Newport away was dangerous, Burnley special mad and Carlisle special ...... Cold particularly when the Undertaker was rolled down the grass bank.
Then the cut head by a celery stick at Wigan.
Ohh shit why can't I go back in time..soapy tit wank
