There are very few (if any) sets of supporters in the world, who experienced the lowest of lows and the highest of highs that we did in such a short time span (14 years).
Most rags have never felt the despair of relegation, let alone dropping into the third tier of English football and no rag has ever felt the elation of winning the League title with practically the last kick of the season, and in doing so, snatching it away from their hated local rivals, who had lorded it over them season after season, as they racked up the trophies.
The events of the last 25 years or so make us a unique fan base.
