The entire afternoon was put into context on the way home as, driving down CNR, we saw Darren 'everyone's fault but the players' Pratley driving away from his gated-development residence in his black Aston Martin. You'd have thought that he'd be going around in Groucho Marx kit just now, but no, there he was as bold as brass - window down and the lot. I'm going to carry some piss-filled freezer bags around with me from now on just in case I see the 4ucker again.

It was the responsibilities of The State that Thatcher thought should be restricted to the bare essentials, not the output of our central midfielders! ;)

Watching the "Behind the scenes" video reminds of just what a great ground and set up we have at the Macron. A top class facility worthy of any club and here we are scrapping about amongst the lower leagues and all because of the club being badly managed and run by incapables. Owners with no money to spend, no current manager and a board with a job on to avoid the club going bust. It really makes you want to weep remembering what we were not that long ago. I just hope the current lot can turn it round and get us back up there.

Agreed, that was a great watch too which highlighted just how much the staff and ex-players love the club.

We may have had a terrible season on and off the pitch for one reason or another, but we can't argue with the amount of great (free) content on the youtube channel - probably the best thing about the club this season.

^^ Well, whilst this season is one to forget for many things, I'll remember it, and the Macron, for one of my finest moments. Touring the place then dancing on the hallowed turf for a T.V show was a real lifetime highlight. The roar of the grease paint and the smell of the crowd and all that. Something I'll never forget, ever. :D

I played on there on Monday night and I don't think my legs are ever going to forget it too...

Good for you. And a cause dear to me. Lost my dad a year ago to it.
Hope you celebrated by doing a lap of honour with shirt off.
