Last year, I came to my first ever Albion match as a paying member. I enjoyed it so much that I started coming on a regular basis and ended up bringing my god son and friends sons (11, 15 & 12). So much so that now we all have season tickets for the next season. I have to point out I'm 46, openly gay (Queenie on the back of my shirt!) and very new to this football, is it my mid-life crisis??
A very good friend of mine, Paul C, lent me the book about the last days of the Goldstone ground. I remember being there as a member of St John but never took an interest in the games! I should have. I was there for the last game and saw all those that took everything and could not understand why. Now I know.
I wanted to say, I'm sorry for not taking more of an interest in the game and importantly the club. I can now fully understand why, we, as fans get so emotional. It was compelling reading, very difficult to put down. The club has turned the corner I hope but what I wanted to say was THANK YOU.
We have enjoyed every game, win, lose or draw and the atmosphere has been amazing.
THANK YOU, all of you that supported the club through it's darkest hours, I have been touched and moved by your sheer determination and persistance. It was all worth it.
THANK YOU.
