    That attendance and the Sky cameras must've made the club a fair few quid which is all very nice ...

    ... but, even more important, every potential signing/loanee/ PL club would've looked at us and thought we're a club where players can play real football and progress.

    KLD has been an absolute lifesaver to this club.

    Fact.

    Sadly I think they’d want their money back. And he cost them £35m I believe!! So there’s “big fee” and there’s what they paid fir him, which, for an unproven, is significantly higher!!

    It's fantastic for them isn't it. Two of mine have been mascots before and their other grandparents have booked them to be mascots again for the Swansea game for their xmas present (my 10 yr old granddaughter is obsessed with O9 so is determined to walk out with him :emoticon-0115-inlov)

    You don’t get to pick you just have to line up
    And then players come out
    I can ask Max where he was in the line up and pm you

    He was 7th in the line yesterday. Not sure if that’s always the case…

    I honestly believe that winning against Blackburn will be the turning point of our season and we will win virtually all our home games from now on, and if not I am writing this on behalf of Farnboro asking me to<laugh>

    We should have done them twice aswell!

    There e are some points dropped over the season that could have gone either way and plenty that should have gone our way!

    For a young team newly promoted they have rarely been ****e or easily beat! Sometime they have been breathtaking and its obvious that the club hierarchy want the team to be good to watch they wouldn't have a Pulis style!

    I was reading one their forums, and in the lead up to the boxing day game, a lot of their fans were very complimentary about us on how we performed at Ewood. A lot saying we were the best side they had faced this season.

    We were good that night and without a couple of mistakes from the referee would have took 3 points.
