Had an idea for a new DVD, do you think the club would make a new DVD on the 110th anniversary to follow on from the centenary dvd to relive the last 10 years (Dowie, Pardew, Parky, relegations, promotions).
Only if by making it we eradicate the memory. It'll be like pandora's box or the video from "The Ring". It'll be the stuff of campfire tales, hushed, fearful whispers, and something to threaten the children with if they don't behave: "You've made daddy really angry. He's off to show you footage of Amdy Faye against Liverpool"
I would watch it - yes it would be a bit depressing but the last 10 years have been possibly 10 of them most memorable years (for right and wrong reasons).
In retrospect, the centenary dvd came out at a brilliant time, when we were an established PL club, with a full 27k stadium... if the centenary had been in 2010 say, it would have been a lot gloomier.
Didn't Curbs used to show all his potential new signings videos of the battle for the Valley and the first game back etc so they could get a feel for the club? No wonder we can't sign anyone good in this window if CP is trying to woo them with a video of the Reed,Pardew, Parkinson fiasco? "This is us at Northwitch Victoria, this is Pardew's last home game...."
Most of what happened in those years has been erased from my memory bank and I don't want to be remined of them. Neither can we say we'll look back and laugh about them one day.

2019. 100 years of the Valley
2021. 100 years of league football
2047. 100 years without a cup run
Without the pain, winning is nothing.
"This is us at Northwitch Victoria, this is Pardew's last home game...."
Will ensure a happy ending.
No, anything but the 'Ugg Room'
