Before my time too. But breaking into the big time after 70 years of bouncing around non-league / lower divisions is (imho) by far and away the biggest landmark achievement.

Other suggestions are symbolic (Wembley) or about the quality of the team (which is unresolvable).

- Probably feel it would be odd marking the occasion just as we are relegated. (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Apr 5, 13:10:53
  - Indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 5, 13:27:09

        1902 I reckon (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 5, 15:29:32

        (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

        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
