22 Years ago today - Where were you for the 2001 relegation? 14:06 - Apr 21 with 8033 views

22 years ago to the day, it doesn't seem possible does it?

I was in Bournemouth on a lads weekend away. No idea why, can't remember the occasion but we were In some bar and my mate got a text message from his mate giving the final scores that afternoon (No smart phones back then). His words to me "QPR lost 2-1 and down". Knew it was coming but I was glad I was half pissed when he said it.

I was at Forest away in 96 when we went down from the Premiership. Remember Rangers fans singing Daydream Believer that day. Was at Huddersfield as well. Was very lively outside as well. Had been at Port Vale the week or so before when I thought we had gone down after losing there. Always felt given the connection with Port Vale and Stoke that’s where our relegation to League 1 will be confirmed next week. In an ideal world we do a ‘Crystal Palace’ and stay up against Bristol City and we’ll all be on the pitch at the end of the game. I just have visions of Rangers fans being apoplectic with the players by the tunnel up at Stoke. Hope I’m wrong!

In the away in floods of tears like a right wally

I was in a Pub in St John's Wood watching it unfold on Sky - and yes I was crying too. Don't think I'll shed too many this time though.

Was there too. Agree that Crouchie looked devastated.

Heard he was in tears in the dressing room and some senior players were laughing at him. I can imagine that scenario with some of this current mob

Fearless

Hudders fans to the left of the away end unfurled a banner saying
“You are the weakest link… goodbye”
