I think the best take away from the lap of honour came from [MENTION=238]Uncle Buck[/MENTION]. who pointed out our players need to stop breeding. I bet none of them get any sleep even when they're not celebrating promotion.

Am I looking into some thing that isnt there but when all the players were congregating in front of the dug outs. Stockdale was over talking to people in the S E Corner could this be the farewell and that he didnt want to be with his team mates.

To me a deflated day, not a bad one as we are promoted but not a good one because we have n't yet got the title. I suspect the players felt the same and as pointed out probably Stockdale & Stephens were best two players and felt it harder than others.
I probably would as well if I earnt 500k a year for playing 10 games a season!!

Was he not picking up his South East corner player of the year award. Believe I saw something on twitter to that effect

I too was shocked, disappointed and embarrassed by the number of empty seats at the end. To think where we have got and how well the team have played this year I could not believe people were not prepared to wait an extra 20 minutes or so just to say thanks. It's not as if it was late and most people are off work today and maybe even tomorrow as well. Thankfully there was still a decent atmosphere in the pubs in town after, had a good 'sing off' with another group as we tried to dig up as many old songs and chants as we could from Goldstone days. Must have been loud as security had to have a word and put a stop to our fun.

I saw both highlighted players smiling, waving and clapping us in ESL (family stand). I'm not sure how you draw those conclusions from a post-game lap of honour.
Yeah they were p1ssed off, (especially AK), but then you would be if you were a professional footballer. It's bad enough being on here with FANS when we lose
