[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1781991, member: 85785"] Hi all, sorry for the delay but I've not been able to log in as things have been slightly manic, as well as the long, long weekend, winning and having to clean the mess that happened after, it's been hectic finding time to distance my own family business and spare time to report in. All I can say is, How the hell did we win? 10 men after 50 seconds! Battling away, having to make three subs first half, Scoring early on, fighting tooth and nail, playing against twelve, because I don't believe that the ref, really wanted us to win! (We have had him a few times, and it's not been good!) They equalise ten minutes into first half injury time, when only six minutes were held up by the fourth! Half time, two of our staff sent to the stands for verbal abuse. The gaffer turned the game and tactics, changed the mood in the dressing room, told all we were gonna get another chance and we did with ten minutes to go, the players kept their cool and discipline and game managed the win after another extended injury time! I've never seen a Rovers team so determined and an unbelievable display of courage and tenacity. We won it because of the work rate, the strength of heart, the incredulous determination to frustrate the opposition, to limit them to very few efforts, the incredible team work and the detail of how to play our opponents. Hats off to our staff. And of course the players! I can't describe what happened next, it was amazing! The emotion of it all was truly awesome, the win against all odds, in adversity, winning in the playoffs was so desperate and so needed for a club of our standing! Three long years in the wilderness, we are back! (Wow!) For me personally, to be on the bench at wemberley again, to be part of the background staff, to share the experience of actually winning at that place, because I'm a fan first, I nearly killed myself when the winner went in. Being part of the after celebrating, on the pitch and the ground on the Sunday. Getting covered in champagne, congratulating the players and staff, just being a part, was incredible! Singing in the dressing room, bouncing around and being involved in a wemberley win. So different from the year before! (We are gunning for you [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] and [USER=190075]@Cumberland[/USER] .) My final words, the supporters were incredible, my family, (15 of them) went, were texting me all day, taking photos, and got together on Sunday. To celebrate, The Super white army, never stopped all game and made up for the sending off and became an extraordinarily boon to the players. The noise was incredible. They sang, cried, cheered, supported the lads so much. There were over thirteen thousand of us in the ground. Truly a remarkable turnout for a club from the national league. They were incredible! We are back, it's a long time coming, and I've suffered for so many years, being a supporter and the emotional impact on our club has been profound. Up to date, four thousand season ticket sold!, our average attendance was five thousand give or take this season! I am the luckiest man this week! In all my hopes and dreams, my weekend was truly remarkable, for someone like me! (For so many reasons!) Woo hoo! Just how did we win that? [/QUOTE]
