spot on, tonight wasn't about those of us who have been supporting for 40/50 years, it was for the supporters who've been going for 5/10 years and have had fuck all but misery. No one deserves a good day out more.

Just watched the game on Sky now. Those scenes a the end, with fans running on the pitch, hugging and embracing the players and the players with great big smiles on their faces, is absolutely priceless. Jones being carried on fans' shoulders, DKE being mobbed by a mass of Sky Blue supporters. Just brings a tear to my eye.
THAT is why the likes of Oucho should have been watching the game, at least on TV. You could see how much it meant to the players as much as the fans and the players all seemed to be saying that this could give the club a real boost and transform their league form.
This is why it was a massive, massive game. The euphoria and belief and moral boosting factor of that win could be huge.
We now have to transform that spirit and belief into Saturday and beyond.
Fight like that, add the quality and maybe just maybe we can turn our form around.

You say 5/10 years, I'm a huge fan, season ticket since I was a 2 year old, travel down to every home gme from Norfolk, I've never seen us in a final and I'm 30. 25 years I've been going to games.....
It was great to see so many people smiling as we walked away from the ground. Struck me that probably the majority have very little memory of '87. Let's face it, there weren't many ten year olds at Wembley that day; if you were lucky enough to get hold of a ticket chances are your Dad went not you! That would mean for most under 40s this will be a first. Can't wait to take my kids so they'll have their own Wembley stories to bore their kids with!

I get the not going. Even get the maybe it is not that an important game.
I don't get the not even watching it on TV.
It's our club. Our club on TV. Wouldn't you always want us to win? Always want to see how we play? Want to root for your team?
Even if it was a friendly and it was on TV I would be watching.
If you had been there you would have been swept away by the atmosphere. It was electric. It was also a memorable night, with many fans in floods of tears of joy and everyone walking around with big smiles and smug grins on their faces. Who wouldn't want to be part of that and be part of that for your team?
I don't get it. I get that some may think it wasn't that important (but then some league games aren't that important, or haven't been in the past if we are in the middle of nowhere and can't go up or down), but surely the lure of watching your team on TV with the whole crowd buzzing is a lure so enticing you would want to be part of it, to savour it and enjoy the moment.
We also bloody won and I maintained throughout that we DID have a very good chance of winning.
What more do we want at the end of the day past seeing our beloved team out there and winning games?
