Thought this deserved it's own thread.
Today marks a very significant day for all Souths fans, it marks a day I'm sure we all will never forget and it marks one of the most important days in the club's history. We all know it, 20 years since reinstatement.
I was only a young fulla in primary school at the time so probably didn't realise the magnitude of the situation that had been going on for the past two years but I still remember this day 20 years ago clearly, as I'm sure we all do.

To mark the occasion, here are all the tales of reinstatement if you've missed them.
