Bore off and watch cricket or something, I've waited 32 years for this, done my time in the lower leagues stood on terraces with just a handful of others watching us lose in some northern hole. Every club ultimately belongs to the fans not the owners as without us there would be no club. We should celebrate just like every other club does when they win promotion and not be made to feel we are doing something wrong.

Having waited so long you must be of an age that is past acting like a wally and running on he pitch so stay where you are and applaud the team from there.

That would be risky. A billionaire could buy an awful lot of sheep to drive down Madeira Drive or whatever rights you get. Traffic chaos.

If we have already won the league by the time we play Villa the club should register TB as a player on a non contract basis and have him on the bench at Villa Park.

He could come on in the 93rd minute and we could give him the reception he truly deserves.

Great idea. If he scores perhaps he could do a little celebration for Mr Calderwood as well!

Tony is an absolute legend, but not sure the best way to honour him is a statue TBH... could he be added to the legends 'flags' just outside the stadium?

I would think hes probably too humble/proud to have a statue of himself.

How about something more personal/discrete its the thought that counts

These guys do custom/bespoke poker bracelets could to one with a seagull on blue stones and have it engraved on the inside with "You're the man. Thank you from the fans"

I think a manly hug, a firm handshake followed by a huge kiss!

Listening to 5 live whilst watching sky. Brighton score on Sky while it takes my live commentary 60 seconds to catch up. Are we 2-0 up?
I will be a happy shopper in the Drapers arms, Peterborough tonight get in!
