Agree with the sentiment, but lots of season have been pretty good. First couple of years in the Championship were ok. First season in the Ricoh was good and the season with Armstrong, Kent, Murphy, Cole, Maddison etc in L1 was decent.
The last 10 years arguably my favourite time supporting the club with the exception of 87 & 98 seasons. Most of the prem years we were just trying to stay up.
We've had shite owners, been forced out of the ground on more than one occasion and missed a whole season with Covid, but for what we've had recently and the journey we've been on to now finally get back (when at times I didn't think I'd have a club to support), I'm not sure I'd change any of it.

Well anything's possible, Pep Guardiola got booked for celebrating a goal yesterday.
The game is becoming sterile.

Is the trophy lift at Wrexham even if we’ve won it earlier? I can’t find much online but what I can find suggests it’s the final home game unless it’s not won by that point. Which would make it Wrexham even if we’ve won it the game before b

It would be Wrexham - Liverpool won the title with a few home games to spare last season but still lifted it against Palace on the final day
Presuming the EFL follows the same precedent of course

Tbh I quite like the fact that everyone knows we we were cheated. That was our final, we'd most likely have lost to Man City and the nature of the comeback, the fact we got to dream for 2 minutes, seeing the entitled twatty United fans leaving and then trying to get back in, was good enough for me.

Only time I've been on the pitch was that Blackburn game where Julian Darby won Man Utd the title. Not sure why everyone piled on as I don't think the result did anything for us, just the last home game of the year maybe? I swiped some blades of grass and was shitting it that I'd get arrested.
Same as.Was on the pitch last at Highfield Road after the Derby game
I got a patch of Highfield Rd turf and put it into my lawn.

IF we won the whole thing I'm absolutely here for the whole 9 yards of retro 80s celebration-
-Lap of honour to `Simply The Best',
-Enough fireworks for Chinese New Year,
-Players giving Lampard the bumps/doused in bubbly
-Open-top bus with players 10 pints deep, wearing the trophy lid etc.....

i seem to remember being on the pitch at highfield road after a blackburn game.
i think it was a night match(??). it was the year before they won the prem, and i think us beating them stopped them wining it that year. no idea why we were on the pitch. maybe it kept us up.

Been looking into this a bit, from what I can gather theres no one set rule. The EFL apparently aim to do it at the next home game if possible. There has been exceptions but that's the norm. What I can't work out was say we won it at Blackburn would they award it at the Portsmouth game midweek as it's the next game or would they wait for the weekend as it's a better spectacle for broadcast.

Only times I have been on the pitch:
John Sillett Testimonial 1992 - after the game there were 3/4 footballs knocking around, so managed get a shot away at the West End. Missed. Darren Anderton was playing for Spurs (despite still a Portsmouth player) and was still on the pitch when we sauntered on. My mate asked him if he was joining Spurs. Anderton look at him disdainfully replied "What do you think?!"
Last game of HR 2005 - Glorious, but sad, day.
First game of the season 2017-2018 v Newport - my 5-year old son's first game. He won a JSB competition on the day and won loads of sweets/ colouring books etc. We were allowed to sit in the dug outs and walk around the pitch (I put a sneaky trainer on when no one was looking) before the game. Thought this would get him hooked for life. We lost 0-1. He's never been to a game since.

It really makes you appreciate it all a lot more after all the years of incompetence, court cases, lack of stadium, terrible managers, sub-par players who we supported regardless. But you can’t forget the cup runs, magic moments, wembley appearances, players who would go onto big things (Madders, Murphy, Wilson, Vik), Mark Robins.
Glad to say I am one of probably a couple thousand that was a ST holder during the shite L1 days and the L2 season, football is a universal language and the hunger desire and passion relates into the life of those who follow it.
Just like a Phoenix in flames rising from the ashes is a new Coventry City, a stronger club, a better run club, our club

That’s the only time I’ve been on the pitch. Great day that was. Somewhere I may still have a program full of autographs.
Recall pretty much everyone involved stayed on the pitch happily chatting and signing stuff while people had kick abouts.
State of my knees if I tried to get on the pitch now I’d probably end up stranded on the advertising boards!
