    Can’t lie, I already feel sick. This week will feel like a year.

    Nowt wrong with a bit of hoof ball! An old timer’s thing but Bobby was proper center forward. Is it any wonder that Cookie always reminds me of him.

    Well seeing Bournemouth twice take the lead in that critical game has done nothing for my pre match tension for next week!

    I think most fans have felt sick at the thought of going to VP at some point over the last 6 or 7 seasons.

    I wish I could keep my mind off the football, but I work next to VP. Mind you, win on Saturday and it swings the other way.

    If we get the job done next Saturday, which I believe we will, for me it will feel more like relief rather than a big party after years of utter dross in this league

    It'll be relief definitely, but I'll bloody well party!

    I missed that as I was at a wedding. The only home or away game I missed all season too!

    A bit of both for me. One thing I will say though is whilst we all have ambitions to see us as a competitive Championship club, if we do go up next week, the club need to ensure that we NEVER end up in this horrendous league again.

    In my younger years, I'd define this as a long week ahead. Now in my 50s I see the world significantly different.

    Today football is a game, pastime, a social event. Do I want promotion, damn yes. Do I feel let down by Rupp, damn yes.

    Next Saturday I will be looking for the same as all board members but not the detrimental effect on myself because ultimately it's a small part of my world.

    The thought of Halliday in the back three fills me with absolute dread.

    I try to have that outlook, but that didn’t stop me dreaming about the game last night, and even that was stressful!
