And so the season draws to a close. It has had its ups and downs. Thankfully with a few unexpected results we pulled ourselves out of the relegation zone before today, thanks to those wins at Chesterfield and the home win against Bristol City.
Today's game scored high on the boring meter. With each minute I was hoping that added time would be short. It was an empty game. We were safe in our mid table obscurity and they were safe in their play off zone. The Tit was around outside the ground, with wife, in a suit so I assume to 'celebrate' 'his' teams successful safety he treated himself to a box. Twit. Though the way 90 minutes dragged today, free beer and upmarket pie n chips might have been a better alternative.
Ah well 90 minutes up. We finish 16th on 59 points. The team do a circuit. We applaud our thanks. Who will still be in that bunch next season? Who can tell? Then the seasoned season ticket holders shrug their shoulders and we wonder if we will all be back again next season. The pie family, the twins, the Pompey fan, the lad & his mate to my left, Colin and Arfur on Dad's right. Faces and lives which we only see for 90 mins each Saturday spent at the Rainham End. May they have a good summer. We bid adieus and go our separate ways.
So as a team we say goodbye to Scunthorpe and Bristol City (hope they fork out for some seat backs at the away end now) and we also see the quartet of Chesterfield (nice place!), Bradford, Rotherham (pity chaps you really did try hard to overcome the 10 point deficit) and Brentford slip into League Two. As for potential away venues next season we can welcome - Walsall, Hartlepool and Swindon (eek) & a n other from League Two and coming down to join us.... Southend, Luton and Leeds. Yes that says Leeds.
