I expected the club to be liquidated at some point. There was nothing physical left of the old club.
I wanted it to happen, as I saw it as the only way to have a functioning club to support going forward
I enjoyed the dark days in a strange way. Not what was happening to our club, but having to find on a map where it was we were playing and ending up in some dilapidated stand. Going to places I'd never been before then hoped I'd never go again. Meeting genuine supporters of other clubs where their dream is to spend a season in the Championship.
What is the point of this? If you are a fan, you are a fan, whether you can afford both time and money to go or not. Enjoy the ride as I suspect it won't last forever but its infectious and gathering pace.
Let’s not forget the reaction when someone asks you who you support and then says didn’t you win the FA Cup once. Jimmy Hill will be looking down today (is it just me or does Grimesy have a bit of a resemblance) with a smile that we are heading back to where we belong.
My little boy went to his first game in Italy when he was 3. Spent half the game taking him to the toilet Several players took the time to say hello to him but he was only interested in having a chat with a young player of ours who was Maddison.
By the time he was 6 I was taking him frequently. All he has known is our way back up the football league and improving every season. There's been promotions and trips to Wembley. I'm wondering how he is going to take next season.
