Sadly, won’t get back from London in time. I hope it’s a good turnout and whatever the cynicism and definition of success. This group of players and management achieved something not done since before nearly all of us were born.
I’m 48 and never seen a promotion, I was lucky to experience 87 and that was amazing, this was amazing in a different way.
Tonight, hopefully, parents, families and individuals will gather and maybe some will fall in love with the club again or for the first time and they then be part of the next generation because every club needs that, along with the continued hope and a slice of luck.
If I could get back, I would, and it’s hurting to miss it, we have had enough disappointments over the years to not turn out and celebrate would be a real shame for those players.
I’m hoping my boss understands today and cancels those afternoon meetings but sadly I doubt he will.
For those that go, enjoy it, it’s been a long time coming (whether it’s 6th or 1st, we’re both playing League 1 next year, we don’t make the rules, we play to them)
