NCFC v ITFC

The last 30 seasons: NCFC success/celebrations

1982 'Div 2' promoted
1985 League Cup winners
1986 'Div 2' champions
2004 'Div 2' champions
2010 'Div 3' champions
2011 'Div 2' promoted

That is six proper celebrations. Three titles, two further promotions and one major trophy

1992 'Div 2' champions
2000 'Div 2' promoted'

No-one under the age of say, 23, has ever seen them win a title. And don't let anyone kid you that winning the League One trophy means nothing. Would you rather that or two straight seasons finishing lower mid table in the Championship? Exactly.

ITFC's failure-soaked current run in the Championship is now the longest of any team there.

No wonder they're making a big deal of 1981. Grainy video and tatty photos is all they've got left.
