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?

Well, I’m full of a cold today, streaming nose, sore throat, raspy cough and a splitting headache but the bubbly’s already open ready for the celebration at 5pm. I’d even take a 1-0 today with no complaints!! 🥳🤩👍

This might be referenced later……..

Times dragging now.

 

Brewing my second shite of the day had two before kick off last week hope my latest superstition works as well as previous week 😐💩

Will a rum and coke and a spliff do?

I've just slipped some bubbly in the fridge for you.

Beers flowing

Might get the brut cava out later 

Bless my Mrs, despite making be lug ballast around B&Q she's just bout us a bottle of champagne to put on ice just in case.

Seriously fucking dragging now.

It's all a bit fucking tense this, was going to try and not drink before but it's turned out to be impossible.

 

My sister lives opposite the ground, says there are flares and everything up there.

Just had my second crap , nerves are jangling .Shouldn't be the case as I am veteran of these situations. The first game I remember was v Spurs in 1962.We won 1-0 & Jimmy Greaves got grollied at by the Great Lever ruffians as he took a corner.

Next season I started to attend going on my own or with mates from Horwich. That season we went down but I missed the final game as it was played on a Friday night something my old fella didn't tell me.

The long list of ups & downs is documented elsewhere but the feeling never changes it was a big deal in 1963 1978 2000 etc & it's a big deal now. COYWM!!

We’ve got 3 bottles of some fizzy crap that is mainly intended for spraying around the garden at 5pm. Borrowed a champagne bucket from work. Is it not jinxing it to stick the ice in already?
