Your favourite promotion season?

[AliBobbyJ]

The Keegan season for the flowing football and the players who made it, but in 2000 Birmingham at home on the Friday night and then Blackburn away the next weekend provided the most exciting finish.
(Now as for exciting (?) relegation seasons there was one back around 1960 I think that came down to goal average with City and Aston Villa trying to stay up in the last match.)

The Keegan promotion season was one of the best seasons in my 40 odd years following the Blues.

Hope you give her a good send off.

The 1984-85 promotion season was my favourite:





God knows how many were in Maine Road for that final game, but it certainly was more than the official 47k

Yeah 1985 for me as well.

Why has nobody mentioned this before?

88/89 season for me. Only because I was old enough to appreciate what it meant. I was 15 at the time and a group of us used go to near enough every home game plus we got a few away games in at Oldham, Blackburn and Watford. I always remember the Bournemouth match as we cheered their 1st goal, got a bit twitchy at their 2nd and stood in disbelief at their 3rd. Lots of us sat on the Kippax devoed but then the Leicester/palace result came up on the scoreboard and we went mental.

Definitely 99/2000 for me, if only for the Blackburn game;

Only time I've ever been drunk at a football match
Only time I've ever been "escorted" from the away end
Only time I've everbeen ejected from a public hostelry (along with a few others) by the police.
