I was there for the JPT final, my first visit to the new Wembley, the 44,000 of us as the club was on the brink of relegation probably our worst ever season. Back then as with many I felt it could be our last hurrah, we would languish in League 2 and the possibility of non-league oblivion was not far away. After nearly 20 years of decline there was no positivity left, but that day showed the potential of our great club, and the fans who helped pull off a miracle to win that day.
A year later we were all back at Wembley for the play off final, very tense day watching as a fan feeling we had scraped into the play offs and it was a must win, the atmosphere was similarly amazing. But still even though a great achievement I didn’t feel too much positivity around the club.
I couldn’t get tickets to last seasons play off final, but I was there on Sunday, and from the March to the arch onwards I could feel such a positive vibe, even 3-0 down, I felt we had come a long way, but my god did our team nearly win it. Even though we lost, I felt more positivity towards our club then we have ever had. The spirit of the fans, the ability of that spirit to push the team to achieve more. We were the real winners on Sunday
