as it was David Cuffley who raised the point

I think it may be very personal to him (through work or his own age).

I am of a similar age but I don't feel that a 50th Celebration is really necessary.

The more something is achieved then the less the first becomes memorable (is it four promos since 2002?)

Additionally the reaper has gone through the class of 71/2 and those left are not as well-known and appreciated as the 59ers ("Let's have a big welcome for Clive Payne")

02 also throws up other anniversaries to consider (1902, 1962, 1982)

The club are damned if they do (waste of time/money, tinpot, why are we harking past to the past) and damned if they don't

    - Ok, but as I said, '72 is our most important achievement and 50 years is the most (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 12:25:53
      - Genuine question - why is it? (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Apr 5, 14:01:43
        
        It isn't. (n/m) (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Apr 5, 15:28:28
        
        I don't really understand what more I can add that hasn't already been said. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 14:28:18
        
        oh that's a particularly boring answer (NCFC) - CWC, Apr 5, 15:41:52

        Maybe it isn't cast in stone that (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 5, 15:23:28
        
        You're right, I should have added "in my opinion". (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 15:31:10
        
        1902 I reckon (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 15:29:32
        
        weirdly, the official 50th Anniversary was actually 1955-56 (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 5, 16:00:52
        
        85, for me. (n/m) (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Apr 5, 15:28:00
        
        Relegation? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 15:31:20
        
        You think winning the League Cup for the second time is more important (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 15:33:04
        
        (Meant for GB!) (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 15:33:53
        
        Yeah. (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Apr 5, 17:35:34
        
        it's not important (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 5, 18:07:36
      - If just one person is highlighting it, a mere 30 days in advance (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 5, 12:46:42
        
        Football clubs always recognise important anniversaries. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 12:53:26
  - Fair points, probably did mean more when those players were still alive (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 11:37:55
- I don’t know about you, (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Apr 5, 10:59:44
  - but I’m not in the mood to celebrate being in the top flight 🙁 (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Apr 5, 11:00:42
    - This is also true. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 12:29:03
      - Think I'll half celebrate demotion to the Chumps, I miss ghouls. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Apr 5, 12:45:23
        
        And midweek home games (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 12:53:37
        
        and I can start watching The City View again. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Apr 5, 12:56:14
        
        I miss going on an away day with hope in my heart. (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Apr 5, 13:24:40
        
        Less Sunday away matches too. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Apr 5, 13:26:58
- Very few people left at the club with any feel for its history (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 10:42:06
  - Purged (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Apr 5, 15:32:20
