The day the nightmare ends.

middlebrook heaving with tailgate parties and jubilant fans

Massive celebrations by Nat’s statue

A long long overdue reason to celebrate something genuinely incredible given years of disappointment.

Or a damp squib that brings out the misery-hungry naysayers?

There’s many cocks on here but most can engage in a conversation that isn’t swamped in hypocrisy and 100% bullshit

left back is a toss up but i think safety first will see john back in

other than that only question is right wing - isgrove or delf and id expect it to be isgrove

 

and even i put a keeper on the bench

Agreed. Might seem harsh on Thomason after his recent performances, but no room for sentiment at this point of the season.

Even harsher on Jackson, he deserves to play LB tomorrow imo.

Pictures please 

Was in the Happy shop at lunchtime treating myself to one or two of the cheap training  jackets and noted they need staff which is good news for Evatt as at least he will have a wage coming in when they replace him in a week or so.

Please don't tell me some of you clowns are still going to stand on the grass banking in pissing down rain after the match hoping the “superstars” wave at you ?

He was a wind up dick, whereas you seem to be authentic fan, settling in to a 20 year pub conversation.

Getting back to the promotion and relegations , if you're if a certain vintage like meself then the only one I wasn't at was our first fall from the top division in 1964. Was only 7 but been there for all the rest and I think I'll be there on the grass in the rain tomorrow Mr Hugespunkbubble.

No way you have ever been in a Happy shop or any happy place

That was the first full season I started watching Good Knee, so I was beginning to think I might be a bit of a Jonah? Been there for every good and bad one since though, through all the pain and ecstasy, which is what being a Wanderers fan is all about and I’m about to witness the start of our next coming tomorrow, when we see off the Grecians. 🥳

Ditto. I was taken to a night match whete we lost to a team from Salford. Stood on the shale steps on the embankment. It was interspersed with red fans and I remember them gloating & I've fckg loathed them ever since.

Yes please to all of those.

Go with our best team and that is our best team (Isgrove on the right). Nothing against GT but Lee/MJ/Sarce is the strongest midfield 3 and John has all the experience required to get us over the line.

First match for me was in 66. Last match of the season. 1-1 draw against Norwich. Stood on the Embankment as a wide eyed 11 year old with a couple of mates from L/H. It was a boring end of season match but it was the humour of the fans that grabbed me and hasn’t released its grip since.

A bloke at the side of us, obviously bored, shouted as we took a corner. “Come on Fred, (Hill) give us a laugh, kick the corner flag”

Appreciating our laughter, he said 

“you have to laugh cocker”

No one ever said that in L/H. I was hooked there and then.

Tomorrow could be another notch on the up and down experience of being a Wanderers fan. No idea about stats but has any other team experienced the same? Being a Wanderer is a privilege. 
I may even turn up on that grassy bank tomorrow and think of Freddie Hill. Also known as God.

About the same here, my Dad wouldn't take me until I was 10 (1966) because I wouldn't understand it. I think the match was against Cardiff. I was more taken about the people and surroundings around me and being "grown up"

We’ve got this

Stop being fannies

Mu dad wouldn't take me until I started high school, he relented a bit and took me towards the end of the 68/69 season as I was ready to leave junior school

We have two chances to get the win we need. That’s assuming we need a win. 
 

We don’t do stuff easy it’s what we do. But we’ve proven we are better than the majority of teams in this league. 
 

we will Be fine. We will win tomorrow. It will be nervy no doubt. But let’s enjoy it. 4 months ago we were fearing the worst.

That’s it, right there.

 As a fan, we put up with all sorts of football. Good, bad and utter shite but the overriding reason for any fan is being there. That’s all that matters to me and most other fans. Television or whatever is a poor substitution for actually being there.
