oh that's a particularly boring answer

just wondered (as it was well before my time) why that one was more important than say 85/86 or the recent ones that have given us the huge financial boosts.

Is it simply because it was the first?

        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

        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
