Question for Phil. Seem to remember the site being rebranded to TATD last time we were in the top flight. Was that in response to the promotion or the European football? |  |

Have to admit I wasn't a forum poster back then. I assume that provoked some controversy then? | |

Let's just say - it's a bit like suggesting we build some new stands. | |

It was just followed by 22 years in the wilderness |  |

Ah gotcha, hubris, nemesis and all that. I accept your admonishment. | |

I think it was about the promotion.
But I think Phil was keen to just use TWTD as a brand rather than the words they originally stood for, so I cant see him changing it. |  |

And for some reason, the suggestion to cover all angles of were/are wasn’t even given the time of day.. so we never did get TW/ATD… |  |

We need to qualify for Europe 10 years in a row, and win a couple of cups before rebranding to TATD. These are great days currently, but still not a patch on the 1970's and early 80's - yet! |  | | |

Was when we made Europe. Was actually in response to Richard Wright saying something like 'even the website is called Those Were The Days' on Football Focus when talking about the club's history still dominating despite their success. As others have said, we've not really used Those Were The Days as the 'official' name since around that time as it was a bit fanziney and tended not to be helpful when talking to the authorities/clubs as a newsier website. |  | | |

Wasn’t there a special summer print version titled These Are The Days after we went up in 92? |  |

There was, I'd forgotten about that. Before my time. | | | |

Isn't it kind of wonderful that some or most true Town fans know what TWTD stands for. Like the secret burger that's never in the menu at Joe Allens restaurant or the missing Foo Yung that's not on the menu at our local Chinese but can still be ordered by those in the know. As one of the lucky old guys I was there in 1978 and before and although we didn't realise it at the time those really were the days. |  |

Maybe you should try not being mean to them in future. I wouldn't like it if one of my customers kept telling me I was rubbery. | |

Unfortunately, we were well and truly TW/ATD less than 12 months later! |  | | |

I still call it Those Were The Days. I had a few cartoons that I drew that featured in the print version back in the Lyall years. I used to buy all the fanzines, Dribble! A load Of Cobbolds, TWTD and there was Blue for a bit. |  |

For the love of God, can people stop suggesting this.
It isn't fair on Phil for him to be responsible for our relegation, and for spending 22 years in the wilderness for a second time. |  |

For those of you who are too young to remember the days when Phil & Gav deemed fit to destine us to over 20 years of mediocrity, this is a snapshot of TWTD when it was TATD (notice logo in top left):

Edit: Apparently TWTD's URL parsing doesn't like the 2nd http in the URL, so it needs to be copy and pasted, and you'll need to remove the space between the 2 URLs [Post edited 13 May 17:54]

Not a suggestion just curiosity as to what triggered it last time. Last thing I want is to trigger Phil's guilt. | |
