League Cup Finals...European football and third place in the Premiership.... plus being noted for our style of play and the footballing skills of our players.We were never a big club... but we were certainly very very good to watch.

Time to go Delia 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Once upon a time we had all out top players poached by top flight clubs , now our star player is Clingan , signed on a free and now up for sale and not even attracting any interest from the better Championship clubs. As has been said in terms of crowd size we could be Premiership , in terms of playing staff we look mid table League 1 , in terms of the owners we look Sunday league.

It was in fact a cash injection from Delia and MWJ which saved the club at that time.

Simon Lappin, King Of Spain 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Me too, but I still feel that Chase is more to blame than Delia becuase he destroyed the club when it was at it''s zenith. Delia inherited a mess and other than bringing back Mike Walker and apppointing Worthington (although that was more by default than anything) her and MWJ have made things worse, but I still feel the real villain of the piece is still Chase. It''s all irrelevant anyway, we''re screwed and have to live with it until the cook finally finds someone decent to sell the club to, if she really is trying that is! Sorry if i was condescending, just fed up with little kids shooting their mouths off about things they don''t fully understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singing canary 0 Posted July 10, 2009 no problem mate ..im 38 and my grandfather went for years previous to that he was good friends with ron ashman many moons ago .i was friends with chris sutton as i used to work with a girl at peppermint park he used to go out with .i worlked with raecheal sutton as she was manager there at the time !!! also my mate played for norwich with shacks in the youth team before he got injured and forced to retire so i do hear some things still !!i do see your point of what you are saying it does all boil down to chase yet i know delia has not helped in the decline of this great club .
