Think back to the dark days. Marching, fighting, praying in a delipidated ground, a board that wanted to finish us off and 5,000 hardcore people left that cared.
Don't hate the JCL's the plastics........on days like this sit there, as I am, spark up a reflective cheroot, relax back in your chair in the garden, take a long deep swig of your favourite tipple and close your eyes..................
Smell the tobacco of the northstand at the Goldstone, remember the pubs you frequented on those home game routines, the old faces - many of whom may no longer be with us - and raise your glass to them.
And then smile, really slowly but quietly. And think to yourself: 'I was there. I cared and I saw. I cried, I gave up, I tried again - and yet here we are today'.
It's a good feeling - I for one will welcome any new supporter, becuase if they can feel a fraction of the warmth and joy I feel today then this great club will have found another disciple.
