Nicely summed MT. That's what this is all about this 5 year period.
Being a bit of an old timer I only know to well the feeling of getting pumped up and then being let down over and over again. It does get hard to stay up and enthused.
As I have said in the predictions this year could really throw anything up for us as it could most clubs.
I think with a young list aka the saints a few years back the guys start with a bang then fall away a bit at the end, this will improve with age.
As stated on SEN trhis morning we have the lightest list in the league, so whatever happens this year the improvement is there in the waiting for the following years as experience and size starts too improve.
Like Bull said I am a bit apprehensive this year, but it dont mean I will be any more quiet or less proud of showing myself as a Tiger than I would any other time.
Dont forget also injuries can affect even the best of sides, with ours developing we can even less afford it.
With the top 4 sides at the end of the year it is usually these things that make that difference in that last day in September.

Spot on wayne.

We knew that there might be an small window of opportunity while Browny, Richo, Sugar and Joel were still around if the youngsters happened to come on quickly. Whether that happens or not, the more sustained window of success won't happen until the majority of these youngsters reach their early-mid 20s.

I wonder if we hadn't won as many games in Wallace's first year whether there would be the level of expectation and feeling of apprehensiveness as to where we are at now.

the the tough hang in for the long hall, and the weak leave
