I don't have a lot to choose from, only since 2005/06. But my favourite was 2011/12. Malky's first season, breath of fresh air after DJ. We were still blue, and a Wembley appearance to top it off. The whole club just felt a lot better and more positive that year :ayatollah:

2007/08 WITHOUT A DOUBT----I will never forget chasetown and hereford away, beating wolves in the 5th round, sheading a tear at boro as many city boys did that day realising we would be at wembley, beating barnsley then only 90 minutes away from achieving what the great side of 1927 did----44 years following the city, best year by a long way :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

the 1982/83 season was the best for me . did every away game that season bar 2 and to win promotion after being relegated the season before was special . losing the last game against luton our very last home game in the 1981/82 season hurt

chesterfield away one of the last games in 1983 was special . All on the pitch after the game and lifting Dave Bennett and co on our shoulders after the game as we knew we were getting promoted . r memories :ayatollah:

Mozzer, 82/83 Season my second best ever season, the beginning of the Casual/Trendy world and City fans going away on the trains and of course Promotion :thumbup: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

75/76 was my best ever. Our family moved to Cardiff in the middle of the season, I was working in Sharpe & Fisher in the West Dock, living at home, and had more money than I knew what to do with. After several years struggling at the wrong end of division two, then relegation, a promotion season was just what we needed. The highlights were many, but the 35k, (and the rest!), crowd for the Hereford game took some beating. Clinching promotion at Bury was the icing on the cake. Happy days!

yes mr abrahams the casual scene took off that season

as for me i was very good at tennis and represented south glam all over the place at the time so for me to wear fila/taccini stuff was natural . Noticed loads of people wearing those blue and white benetton tops that season with blue dungereens .

i went to charlton the very first game of the 1984 season on the train and couldn't believe the numbers wearing pringle jumpers / kicker shoes etc . a youth culture certainly took off for sure in 1983/84
