Bloody hell, I've just realised I recently ticked over 20 years on the BBS, having apparently joined on 7th October 1999. Not been here as long as many of you, of course, and certainly not posted as often as most, but still it feels like a long time. :eek:
So much has happened in that time. Just from a Palace perspective, there's been admin v1, last day survival at Stockport, some serious dross with few and far between brief periods of fun like under Bruce, the excitement of 2003/4 under Dowie > promotion then relegation, buggering up the play-offs, buggering up the league cup semi final a couple of times, admin v2, last day survival at Sheff Wed, new hope, promotion, a second FA Cup Final, and our longest ever stay in the top flight.
By far the biggest change for me personally in that time has been emigrating to Australia, and as a result having to give up my season ticket. To this day it still pisses me off that I can't go to the games, other than very few occasions. And worse still is that my 11 year old - who is absolutely bonkers about Palace - hasn't been able to experience what it's like to go every week. We've been back to the UK a couple of times and we've all gone to whatever game is on at the time, but it's not the same.
Anyway, here's to the next 20 years! :)
