Really looking forward to seeing the film about Cloughie and Forests 5 year climb from where we are currently, to 2 successive European Cup wins...

Got me thinking, if you could pick a 5 year spell from your Wednesday lifetime, what would make the most pitchable story to broadcast?

I suppose there are 3 candidates

 

The mid 70's era, the whole sorry mess of the years pre MM and admin threat, I suppose the more general interest would be to take the 5 years from the Cup semi in 88 at Hillsborough to that Arsenal goal in the 119th minute

You need a bit of heartbreak and adversity somewhere on the middle so probably make it 3 parts and start with 89 and the glory years before a depressing and gritty second part ending when Straff takes to the pitch and the boy Jeffers knocks one in... that would be real Roy of the Rovers/Jimmy Grimble stuff... then the third part will have an unexpectedly sad start with relegation and insolvency before the true hope begins.

Kivo to direct all three.

I'd choose 1979 to 1984.

 

3rd Division

5 games against Arsenal

Boxing Day Massacre

Promotion to 2nd Division

A few decent attempts, but not quite good enough for promotion to Division 1 under Big Jack.

FA Cup Semi-Final against Brighton

Promotion to 1st Division under Wilkinson

Back where we belong after the wilderness years

Finally playing, and beating, teams like Forest, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U (ok Man U game was Jan 1st 1985 but I'm counting it)

wilko´s 1st 3 years were brilliant but if the criteria is 5 years then it would be 62-67 for me  3 top 6 finishes 2 european campaigns and a cup final .

 

More likely to be 1960 - 65. Hopes dashed culminating in players being jailed with the betting scandal.
