The comments about being quiet during games resonates with me, as I can't remember the last time getting vocal watching a game. On the morning of the 1995 GF, I was prevented from going to the game, and I remember wondering had I missed my last chance to see them win a flag. At the time we were an old team, and apart from a young Camporeale, there didn't seem a lot of quality coming through. Elliott and the Legends stand had already become millstones.

But this time it does seem different. Bolton seems to be the right coach, there don't seem to be board troubles, and judging by the number of debutants, recruiting looks good.

At 52, I'm a youngster in this discussion, especially compared to Moshe, but I still get a tear in my eye remembering past glories.
