From the dark days of spring 2006 to 22nd August 2010, what were the little steps that took us from where we were to now (in order if we can)?
I'll go first
1) Whelan & Lindsay deciding to sell the rugby club and announce they were looking for a new buyer.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

No, if Whelan and Lindsay hadn't sold the club there wouldn't have been a ball to roll.  |

Getting rid of Dennis Moran and replacing him with Dobson was the first step. Probably the most crucial decision in that year.
Anyone think we'd have stayed up with Moran at scrum half even with Noble and Fielden on board? I don't.

Even before I hit the floor I thought I'd broken my jaw, but the cheekbone was so depressed I couldn't move it

Great shout, thatll take third place in my top three.
Chronologically:
1 - Noble/ Fielden in
2 - Whelan/ Lindsay out
3 - Tim Smiths injury, and to think I was gutted when he got injured. He lacked a bit of fitness but he had a great Rugby brain. |

Let's not forget that Richards was absolutely terrible in his first season - albeit because he was expected to play centre.

Radders coming back.
Agree re Dobbo - he steadied the ship and gave us a kicking game.
The lads responding by winning away at Leeds when we'd been docked 2 points for SC breach.
