Just come across a video I’ve never seen before. Take a minute to watch. You just don’t get crowds like this anymore. Even if we reach the highs again, I still don’t think you’d see this. Crowd for our homecoming from the 2000 Final:

I was there! Happy days. So pleased to see us win that trophy, the first time in about 50 odd years. Glad TF was there to see it. Remember Brad Mackay's words when he saw the crowd in the city centre "holy guacamole!".

The moment JImmy caught that kick with seconds to go I almost burst into tears. Happy times!

as hard as it is to think of the memory of the 96 cup final but ... if we had video refs then, gouldings bombs wouldnt have counted ... no good blaming Graham when they were all off side and charging down at you

Even with video refs they still get it wrong - Deacon's disallowed try in 2002 GF is one example - Video Ref Gerry Kershaw later admitted it should've stood. That was overshadowed by the JVT furore unfortunately. Then there was the Magic Weekend debacle with Ganson and Klein mucking it up together.

If things were reffed properly we’d have had 3 GF’s on the bounce. Although I think that might have messed up our 100% in the WCC as we’d have had to have faced Brisbane in the 2003 game!

I still can’t get over people crowding on Manchester Road to see the bus go into town and then have that many people out supporting the lads. Madness. I was only 5 then. Wished I’d been a touch older so I could remember the 90’s. My first proper memory was watching the Wide to West on TV and the 2001 Season.
