Thanks Les. I haven't included the Allams or the club in anything. A number of contributors to the book would only speak to me on the condition that the book had nothing to do with the club on an official basis. Everything has abeen done independent of the Allams and that will remain the case.

One of my motivations for writing the book has been to hopefully reconnect a few fans who've found themselves feeling a dit disassociated with things over the past five years or so. While the book deals with lows and doesn't shy away from the more difficult aspects of the events of that time (to the best of my ability - I couldn't go too far with some issues due to the fact that I can't afford to be sued!) it is primarily a celebration of an incredible time. Because of what the contributors have said (nothing to do with me!), the chapters on the 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2007/08 seasons, and the play-offs, make the hairs on the back of my arms stand on end, no matter how many times I read them.

Speaks volumes.

If it's as weighty as you suggest and in hardback I'd pay around £25, paperback I think I'd want to pay around £15.

Thanks for the feedback, guys, and the positive comments. The price will it seems be dictated by Amazon to some extent, but I'll try to keep it round the £20 mark. I will re-emphasise that any money it does make will go straight to Dove House Hospice, so if it does have to be nudged above that level it'll be for an excellent cause.

I'll keep everyone updated on here as it when it will be available.

**** it Rich. Even if it's £50 I'll be buying it. It's just that at £20-25 I could fill a Christmas stockings, birthdays and that.

I buy a fair amount of books and the average price for most these days is around the £10 mark (paperback), hardback usually charges considerably more.

You could meet in the middle at £15, but i'm sure the target market for your book will absolutely be willing to pay the £20.

More than happy to pay £20 plus get my old man a copy for £20.

Love the idea of the book, as I am one of those who has grown disillusioned due to the Allams but even now I look back to that game at Yeovil or the day at Wembley and I get emotional. That's the joy of supporting your local club.
