    We've used 5 keepers.
    Flirted with the play off places
    Plummeted down towards the relegation places
    Beaten Liverpool and Chelsea in the FA Cup
    Scored about 6 goals between 5 or 6 strikers
    And now we made need a 6th keeper for our first appearance at the new Wembley Stadium

    At least it hasn't been dull!

    How long have you been following them?

    My memories of the 80's....season after season of mid table obscurity with the occasional cup run.

    beg to differ (partly).....

    ........we played some great football in his first full season. But then he went mad, and started buying just defenders, along with trying to convert all our other existing players into defenders.

    Well I'm putting more weight on recent seasons...

    As they're fresher in the mind... but been going down for nearly 20 years now I think.

    I started goin in 1978 and most of the eighties were..

    very dull indeed, in fact it didn't get exciting until we nearly went down in 1990, Mel saved us, then went pretty dull again until Danny Wilson came along, since then tho, been pretty exciting i think.

    I'm inclined to think.....

    ....that my BFC supporting years (1987-present) have been amongst the most exciting the club had had in its history.

    ...and you'd be right

    I started in 1961 and had 20 years of third and fourth division football before we even got a sniff of the second tier.
