1973. That's when the Hemmings family first got involved in PNE. That's a long time to have had a significant input on a club.

I was born in 1969 and I doubt that I'll ever see us in the top flight without a change of ownership.

It feels that there have been so many wasted seasons.
 
I was a 69er too.
Was in the same school year as Bigtallsi in primary but always had the feeling he'd been held back before, for obvious reasons.

Me too, I thought Bigtallsi was younger for some reason.

I have to admit my patience is running out. Being taken for a fool (the fans collectively I mean) during interviews yet again doesn’t help, I’m not daft and I know that what I see on the pitch doesn’t tie in with what the manager says happened - and nor does what the board say tie in with reality.
 
I was born in PRI March 65.
No chance I see us in the top flight.
52 years under my belt and seen it all before.
Drastic change is needed to progress.
 
I am in my 50s and have this horrible feeling the club will be stuck with this cancerous family connection with the Hemmings group for the rest of my life.

And part of the blame for that does lie with a large section of the fans who don't want change and are grateful these cunts are here.

Can't we just play some songs from 1973 on this thread?
Take our minds away from it.
 
Let’s Get It On, Tie a Yellow Ribbon, Love Train.

Maybe most appropriately - Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel.

 
Born in 67
First game in 71, (not that I remember it)
Was saying to my pal on the way home today that I have given up hope on seeing us play in the top flight. It’s just not meant to be? I’ve always tried to be optimistic, but season after season we just fall away.
Hey hoe we go again Friday night!!

The bastards took you on at 4 years old?

When I said bastards, I meant parents.

Yeh I got that 😂
my dad told me later in life it was character building, he said it would do me good, as we would be back in the top division soon, something I always thanked him for until he passed in 2019 at 91yrs 😉
