Guest CityFan 06 Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 On this day 3 years ago, we were officially promoted back to the Premier League. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26906091 As a side note, our rise to the peak of the English football league system (from 2009-2016) was the fastest since Ipswich Town in 1962.
Guy Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Magical day in 2014! If somebody had seriously told me in 2008 when we were demoted to League One that we'd be League One, Championship and then Premier League winners in the space of 8 years to follow I'd have said they were nuts and sent for the men in white coats to come and take them away! Andy King has all three medals of course!
lcfc278 Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Remember the Brighton game 3 days later? The players were all still half cut in that game!

I'll never forget the look on Mahrez's face when my friend put his arms round his neck, looked in to his eyes and told him he's a brilliant bastard. Poor old Mahrez had no fvcking clue what the hell had just been said to him
Corky Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 What a season that was. To be so dominant of a division after Christmas was something special. We had about three managers in a row saying 3-0 was a decent defeat for them

sdb Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Pretty much every other day I get some sort of time hop thing from the last 10 years and it never fails to amaze me what this club had been through in that time. I'd love to go back in time and visit my last self during the bleak days of 04-08 and tell him it's all part of an incredible journey. It was so depressing at times. As as my dad says, my season ticket must be the best value of almost anything, ever!
Stadt Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 No set of fans will see anything as amazing as we have over the past three years
Bevilacqua Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 How far you've gone since that day. Impressive. In Italy Nottingham Forest is still remembered as the perfect example of English football fairy tale, but now you're almost there. Everything seems to be possible if you come from East Midlands.

There's no need to swear. In England we try not to use words like 'Nottingham' and 'Forest' thank you.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 My favourite season ever, even more than winning the PL, because we'd been so damn starved of success for so long and all of a sudden we utterly romped the league, seemed it would never be in doubt that we'd win the league!!!
FoyleFox Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 I had this pop up in memories too, the official photo had the hashtag #starttheparty The last 3 years have been remarkable, we couldn't have imagined exactly how $%$king epic that party was going to turn out. Enjoyed our promotion in 2014 the most as we'd waited such a long time and done L1 to boot. 10 years of abject misery, makes the last 3 all the more special.

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Winning nine games in a row was almost boring wasn't it?!

Nearly every year for the past 10 years we've had something to play for right up until the end of the season.
Blue ROI Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Don't have that many memories of the championship winning season. Would love to say I had but couldn't make it over that year and also there was hardly many games on Sky and there was only a handful of external non-sky links. Blackpool live is the one that stands out because they parked the bus and we struggled before Riyad's wonder goal. Kind of felt the premiership was ever closer that day. The excitement going to the pub to watch the Friday night game against Sheffield Wednesday was brilliant too. The Early December to April unbeaten run reminds me of Arsenal 1998.
UniFox21 Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Was on my way to nandos when it came through we'd been promoted
