It is still strange adjusting to being a Premier League team.

But the Football League Show was also a reminder of what a brilliant league we left behind. I thoroughly enjoyed our 10 years in the second tier and it is a very underrated league.

You could beat Leeds United one week and lose to Colchester the next! We stared off in 2003 with average crowds of around 11k and finished with 23k. It was a rollercoaster of a time which saw us finally finish the job as Champions.

It looks like it will again be a very competitive league this season with the relegated teams looking to make a fist of it this time, along with Watford, Leicester & Bolton

That was the 2006/7 season when we started like a train on fire. It was Chopra's first season with us and that Wolves game was something special. We tailed off badly in the second half of the season and a lot of fans blamed the injury to Ricky Scimeca for our demise.
