If we had been turned into a Crawley I think I would've stopped going anyway. I don't want to be a Crawley, I want to win a promotion without spending bucketloads of cash and just buying a title, what's the fun in doing that?

Hmm, I think that comment will get a wider airing due to its ironic nature ;)

Well, yes I see the irony in that, I didn't experience the glory days but I just don't see the fun in going to games when you know you're probably going to win and it's just because your 'shady investors' are bankrolling you to the hilt for their amusement. The great thing about 09/10 was that no one really expected it.

If you read my previous posts you'd see that I never saw a promotion under the Griggs days. I still stand by my point about it not being that fun though. ;)

All due respect Sara, I have been there from the early days and believe me it was fun going to see RDFC and expecting to win - but it was football and it didn't always happen. Part of winning was seeing good football played by our team, promotions, Millennium Stadium play-off, Football League Champions and enjoying all of that. Then came the dip, losing our best players in one day dropping out of the Football League and then witnessing the rebuild after that - which you have been a part of and I have to say I have enjoyed that as well.

From now on it will be all up hill but max Griggs legacy will not be Nene Park (bulldozed in 2015), rather it will be RDFC and its supporters that will go on.

Don't know if Max realises this but the fans he brought together will carry on the dream.

Most of us tried it, and by god it was good stuff.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.
