    Biggest one in terms of posts and seeing as this is a minnow compared to OTR that’s quite impressive.

    Excellent....The big thing I've taken from all the video's is the number of youngsters who were there taking it all in.
    As time will inevitably take us oldies it is heart warming to see the club is in such good hands being handed down to this next generation....magnificent.

    I've seen many comments that swathes of our support were 'jacking it in', not renewing and we'd 'lose an entire generation of support'.

    The demand for tickets, the amount who went without them and the scenes around London would suggest that's nonsense.

    To some degree the club has left the pessimists trailing in their wake and struggling to catch up with the club.

    Some people deliberately ignore the massive improvements in the infrastructure of the club and the way it presents itself.

    SAFC made Sheff Utd look quite a shabby outfit with their match coverage, PR, etc ... cheap scarves plonked on Wembley seats just one example.

    Once the ticketing, away fan location and catering is sorted there'll be very little for people to moan about.
    (Who am I kidding.) <laugh>

    That bloke Wayne Doran, who made the video above was one of the biggest naysayers of them all
    - have a look at some of his videos before the playoffs
    Biggest hypocrite in our fan base <doh>

    Exactly mate, it’s as if hoping for the best and being wrong carries financial penalties.

    People who quote nothing but stats and bookies odds are missing the point …

    … perhaps they don’t even know what the point is.

    I always chuckle when people say, ‘We won and no one is happier than me to be proved wrong.’

    Errr, yes but I was happier than you before the match, during the match and probably after the match …

    … with the added bonus that you were proved wrong <laugh>
