    2nd time for me but the similarities as regards emotions, style of play, team spirit etc are there. Really hoping we can go one better and go up as champions!

    We were runners up to Luton in 1968. Let's hope we can go one better this time.

    80/81 was my first season watching. Whilst the Premier League promotion was just dreamland, success at whatever level we play at should be savoured. This year's team can now be rightly compared to our other great sides.

    Its a great acheivement and I am very happy but there is something missing a bit when we get promotion and aren't there to see it - Sure we will celebrate on Saturday but the times we have got promotion in my supporting years - 3 times winning at home all take some beating and 2 times winning Playoff finals are special too it would have been even more special if we could have clinched it winning a home game. Consolation prize would be to win the title on Saturday - Though I suspect thats now less likely as with the pressure off I expect Luton to win now
