25 years to the day since Gillingham?

Who'd have thought we'd be current European champions and on the cusp of a double double, 4 on the bounce etc and STILL have no history.

Happy to see Blackburn won both, hopefully history repeats and we win both as well.

Like buses these cup finals. Wait 152 years and then two come along successively. Wonder what the probability is of it happening for a 3rd year?
