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.
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.
In that case can we ask the bus to drive through Bournemouth, please?
99.46% OtisAnyway, I think some are missing the point.
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.
Yeah, I know.
Put what that means into aiYeah, 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. 🫣
John Dawkins on the podcast said it’s always the celebrations that aren’t scripted that are the most fun and I completely agree
Yes the march from Gosford Green to out Cathedral Lanes.. was only parked up, Moz did he speach and yes was a young band playing
No Kylie ?
Not gonna remove the freehold are they?
They had it all ready and waiting incase we beat Luton the other year
If it starts in Weymouth we can pick you up on the way. I'll bring the ciders.
And then on M20 past Maidstone for 5 of us cov fans to wave our flags from a motorway Bridge as homage to May 1987 return up the M1.
Interesting point. Maybe that is why Doug invited all our local songsters up to the PNE match, maybe it's a prelude to the bigger event upcoming. As for the 'open-top' bus, I agree we should use the FA cup bus as we will have 400,000 plus attending a street parade. If someone came up with a better alternative we should listen but we have 'the bus' in the museum and it's iconic and is part of our historical journey, why wouldn't we use it?
Sunny Spain
Wasn't bloody sunny when I was there last week in a small village inland from Alicante.
The bus is a static display and although it’s been wheeled out once or twice, it’s barely turned a wheel in 40 years. Getting it ready to run in a parade is one thing but having 25-30 blokes roaming round the top deck throwing a trophy up and down is another. If it’s already had some work done, fine but if not, it would need a lot of checks and probably some surgery in order to be ready.
That return to Cov up the M1/M45 in 1987 was fantastic. Only one bridge (in the Watford area) was empty of people celebrating. The closer to Cov we got, the bridges were simply heaving with sky blue ! London Road roundabout on the A45 was just something else. Fans celebrating all over the road. Fantastic

Exactly and it doesn't take anyone with any intelligence to notice I have now moved on from trains.
