Will there be tears?

[Frutos]

Today will be my last trip to the Amex before I move away from Sussex - combine that with the potential for (near as damn it) confirming promotion and I think it's safe to say it might be a bit emotional for me.

Well, that wasn't bad.

I did get something in my eye at full time though.

I went for I'll be trying to hold them back but forgive me if my eyes appear a little glassy

I was working when I got the news, did a small fist pump and said gtfi to myself.

I've just got home and seen the photos and videos and the tears are flowing now.

Wasn't at the game today but will be at Bristol City game.

It's only just sinking in now a couple of hours later that we have done it and I am finding myself very close watching some of the video's on the other threads.

A great day in our history, a time to enjoy our club and dare to dream.

Will be struggling to hold it back if we win the league at home. **** it, I'm a mess

The past is a foreign country - they do things differently there...

Yep, I believe they have electricity and internet connectivity up there these days

Yes but you do realise they have to daub themselves with woad before they switch on their magic boxes and talk to the faraway people?

I have to admit that I went. Did I imagine it, or did anyone else spot a big screen image of Paul Barber wiping away a tear or two?

10pm, in the Earth and Stars, reading a particular FB post, I welled up.

Even told the barman I got teary.

If football's never made you shed a discrete tear, you can't be doing it right.

Seriously.

Couldn't make it to the County Ground as I was stuck in traffic on the M25 on that historic day in 2003 when Murray Goodwin hit the Boundary that meant we had enough points to win the Championship for the first time ever. I had planned to be there but work dictated otherwise. From memory they had ball by ball on BBC SCR as it was clear what was going to happen, finally, finally.

Had a little cry in my car as I listened to John Lees singing Sussex by the Sea as the game came to a halt for a while.

So basically yes its OK to shed a tear when something like this happens!

My son and I have been going since the mid Withdean years. Season ticket holders for 8 years now, we've seen many ups and downs. He's away at uni a lot of the time now but I promised him I would never give up his season ticket whilst he wanted to go when he came back.

We were there yesterday - just the two of us, father and son living through the best emotion you can ever have at a football game.

I cried for the club and I cried for the meaning it meant to both of us. We'll always love the Albion and all the emotions of the last few years have genuine meaning we will both always keep
