1999 according to the Echo. However, wouldn't be unusual for them to be wrong.....

To me that reads

Conspiracy, 51, area, conspiracy, patterns, funny shapes, conspiracy

Just checked on Soccerbase, they are right with 1999. I was guessing

Guess that means no conspiracy. But I have some great aliens in my backyard...

Ah but it could be the start of one of those weird numbers series, sort of 10, 9, 8 etc

Isn't there a book about that

Ah yes!! whoopee managed to get the DaVinci code into a day of Aliens, TimeTravel and conspiracy theories

how is it relevant how we did on the opening day of the season in 2007, 2006, 2005...1991,1990,1989?

the team is new(many of them not alive 20 years ago), the management is new etc etc

why do these records matter to some forum users and the media?
