I would be amazed if King plans a promotion party but has it somewhere that he'll have to pay more as there's no infrastructure in place and won't make money from all the beer sold.

We're got a stadium and an exhibition hall, surely if there's a party it will be there so the club maximises its revenues.

Anyway, I think some are missing the point. I have never been in the "we are getting promoted" camp and have always kept my powder dry and not got carried away. There are so many threads and posts from posters saying we ARE going up.

My feeling is that we should now do it, but I am also fearful it could all go wrong, however unlikely that is. So, I am still not convinced and am more I'll believe it when I see it as much as anything else

The point was purely about logistics and nothing else.

I have to look at when a celebration/parade COULD be, because I need to make arrangements to get to any event if it was to happen.

Just trying to work out when it might possibly be IF we made it.

The parade will obviously start at the CBS and head north up the A444, through Beduff and onto and finishing in Nuneaton.

The club should be honoring the fans that stuck with the club through those dark days.

In that case can we ask the bus to drive through Bournemouth, please?

Yeah, I know.

Just had disappointment so ingrained and embedded in my psyche watching the City for so long.

Wouldn't surprise me if we won the next three games. Wouldn't surprise me if we lost the next 3 games

Would be just like the City to do it the hard way and sneak a point on the last day of the season to gain promotion. 🫣

Surely it will just be in the indoor fanzone after the last home game ( or earlier) when it’s confirmed .
Doesn’t need to be much more than we have already as the fans will create the atmosphere. Bring the team out as well.
Would probably need to be ticketed given potential attendance.

John Dawkins on the podcast said it’s always the celebrations that aren’t scripted that are the most fun and I completely agree

This thread does strike me as celebrating before the ball has crossed the line.

In fact, it's only just passed into the six-yard box. The nearest defender looks too far away, but with a well-timed slide and a bit of luck, you never know.
