Colchester did not give us a guard of honour and no one seems to have gone mental about that. It is a little surprising though considering the nice things John Ward was saying about us in the build-up to the game.

As for the above article it was interesting to see what Lee Clark has said following the way he reacted after our game at their place.

Albion & England forever.

Yes Huddesrsfield are an honourable lot.

They honourably collapsed at the end of the 2000/01 season and went down to face you lot, when you were BAYING for Palace to drop instead. Still remember the air of disappointment in BN that Sunday when Dougie rescued us in Stockport in the 89th minute. Took all the wind out of your celebrations at promotion from Div 2, eh?

Fixed your post. Oh, and I'd have been equally happy if we'd renewed aquaintances with Portsmouth that season. I still can't believe you both escaped. :nono:

Colchester did not give us the guard of honour. Does that put them on a par with Southampton?

The right thing to do really. You've been the best team in the division by far and if we can't acknowledge that then there's summat wrong. Will all be forgotten as soon as it's done anyway so not like it's gonna affect the game. Unless you want to let us get all 3 points for doing it that is!

Nice that they've done it, wouldn't have bothered me unduly if they hadn't, is my line of thinking on the matter.

Very nice, but would not have concerned me if they hadn't. My feeling is that it should only be done the game immediately after securing the championship to acknowledge the achievement - thats why I was so pissed off SCC didn't do it. Nothing to do with it being SCC, I would have been pissed off whoever it had been if they hadn't done it.

I would have expected us to do it had circumstances been reversed, and I'm sure we probably would have done.
