Can anyone shed any light on the reason for there being no victory parade? I'm off to work now, so when I get home I expect there to be a full explanation in no less than 500 words. And don't forget, I'll be marking those papers later!
I like the way your 500 word explanation was shrunk down to 12 words but still hit the nail on the head.
US- The fans who have stuck with the club through thick and thin, do not deserve one as we only turn up and pay £20 a week. We should not be rewarded but punished for the fact we have not all purchased boxes and we do not all drive Bentleys.
Yep, no need to waste time, effort or imagination when it can be summed up in one foul swoop. Well done Northolt
The explanation, as I understand it, was that with the threat of points being docked, over the club, it was decided NOT to arrange anything. This was so we didn't look foolish, if it had all gone tits up. Who'd want to see a team that had finished 5th do a victory parade? When the decision came through, it was too late to organise anything. And the Police said NO! That's as I understand it..... However, considering that the Club had reason to believe that they did nothing wrong, and Neil was ALWAYS quoted as saying "I've spoken to our lawyer, and I'm very confident", you have to ask what the board were thinking? Oh crap....Just realised that's less than 500 words.... Let me make some stuff up....hang on a minute.....I once saw Gerry Francis WITHOUT a mullet? Is that good enough? I once saw Phil Parkes in Shoot magazine, in an advert for shampoo! Yes, really!!! Is that 500 words yet? **** it....can't be arsed anymore!!!

Oh...and you CAN always REP me if you like.... You'll see the little star just below the post \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ That's it....Just there!! please log in to view this image A bit desperate for rep Mr Mango!
I would also put up the photo of Gerry Francis sans mullet..... But as far as I understand, He employed 2 snipers, about 15 years ago, and I never know where they are. All I do know is that if I'm ever seen reaching for a picture, I feel the laser dot, of a sniper-scope on my forehead. I then stand up slowly, and do a full circle so they can see there's no pics in my hands.....Only then am I safe. That Francis....Doesn't want it to get out, SEE?
Thanks for the explanations. Although none of you made the 500 word mark, so it's detention for the lot of you! Seriously though, you do have to wonder what goes on between the ears of the decision makers at the club. We've just achieved one of the major successes in football, promotion to the best league in the world, and they're quite happy to let it pass with a whimper. If you can't celebrate occasions like this, when the hell can you?
