I had the best and worst of times at CP but I wouldn’t trade from 1985 to 1995 for any other period. The greatest team I suspect we’ve ever had was 1995 by a country mile. There are players in that team who wouldn’t get a game today such as Offiah and Skerrett.
My first full season asa ST holder was 1967 when Boston Ashton and McTigue were well past their best together with pretty much the rest of the squad. I think we came 16th in the league.
What are the average attendances for 2015 to 2019 when we had 3 GF apeearances and a CC final?
I suspect it’s downhill albeit nowhere near as bad as the seasons that preceded the relegation year and the years pre the gang of 4.
I don’t look back through rose tinted glasses but I’d take CP over the JJB everyday of the week even though it included a period of total dross from 1967 to pretty much 1983 when things started to change for the better.
I went for years almost as a “duty” but when the good times finally arrived we had unbelievable success and I saw some of the all time greats play in the cherry and white.
My favourite season at the JJB was when we escaped relegation when all seemed lost. Some great nights when I never knew what to expect. I’d genuinely put some of those nights on a par with the Manly game at CP. Fantastic atmosphere and the fans at times seemed to drag the team to victory
Well said, I could not have put it any better
Great times which will be never be repeated at the souless Whelans Folly!
