The Top Ten

Written 26 August 2012, 14:21

Status - Golden Climb, Arguably the most successful period for my club so far.

Proudest Moment - Surely this has to be the NCC cup win, in the first time I had reached the final.

Shooting Star - The progress from the bounce back was near on meteoric for a small club like Dynamo. The facilities improved rapidly, the stadium could be expanded, and a team with potential to climb higher than Dynamo ever had was formed. In ten seasons, Dynamo Groby reached as high as they'd ever been, right up to fourth position in Division Three, on the back of three promotions in reasonably quick succession. It was also at this time, that my very friendly, and now long running rivalry with Sildegapet FC was formed, originally from a few NCC meetings, and it is a competitive rivalry I still hold dear. In this time of success, Dynamo reached three NCC finals, winning one and finishing runner up in the other two, as well as the semi finals of the same competition several times too. We also had some nice FA Cup runs too, and reached the money stages for the first and only time in Dynamo's history so far. However, flushed with success from the step backwards to move forwards, it was once again time to make a decision, whether to replace the ageing members of the squad, or to sell up, upgrade, and start again. The decision was made, after ten seasons of success, to sell up, spend the 25 Million, and upgrade again, and build again. It was during the early weeks of this new phase of development, that a new project was formed. Time for a new challenge, one that would turn out to be a pleasant distraction.
