Trev,

All joking aside mate you should be supporter of the year the miles and commitment to the cause surpass anyone I know.

Thanks a lot! Albeit Iā€™m ā€˜fortunateā€™ to have the current personal, work and family circumstances. I feel itā€™s less of a commitment than others who travel up most weeks.

Particularly in 2023 when we were taking hundreds everywhere and they thought nothing of paying Ā£120 in train and match tickets every fortnight!

There are real heroes who donā€™t even bat an eyelid to doing Barrow away on a Tuesday night etc. Fuck that šŸ˜‚

I'll have to watch it back

Got it all messed up with timezone changes and ended up seeing the first 30 mins while waiting to board.

Landed 3 hours later and looked up the result first chance. Fantastic to see 3 goals and 3 points.

Seen the goals and 3 howlers from their keeper, but that's what happens when you get the ball into the box and when you shoot

UTG!

Good lord indeed! I kept on getting frustrated with us, from the hoofing in gale-force winds to the static midfield. I felt today we got a win despite that midfield, which is weird considering two of them scored.

Will I take the win? Absolutely.

Iā€™m warming to Morecambe. There are some wonderful buildings, from grand hotels to stonework and art-deco. It just desperately needs a lick of paint and some life given to it.

Do me a favour. Brad Galinson called him. He already said he basically cold called him. Scally didnt find him at all. We got lucky that at a point where Scally finally accepted he was ready to sell he took a call from someone like the Galinsonā€™s. Thank fck he did we were on our way to oblivion under Scally late 2022 (I still appreciate 27 years before that what he did by the way).

Ok , PS did a great job saying ā€œyesā€. Not a word which came easily to him sometimes.,

Gotta take a peek at this Morecambe fans vLog. Listen out for the cheese references and count the number of ā€œbloody ā€˜elā€ comments šŸ˜‚

Enjoyable watch. Good job for him it wasnā€™t Christmas, heā€™d been thrown out the ground.

PS had dozens of "cold callers" over the years, all of which fell by the wayside

To still have a saleable club after covid was amazing management, especially with Paul's health issues

As I said to Brad and Shannon, I will judge their success after 5 years, which they agreed was fair.
 
we've been saying that we were due some luck. Well we got that with some questionable goal keeping.

On the assumption that we win a few of our games then Crawley v Barrow could be quite a deciding game. Who we want to win might depend on whether we can beat Barrow. Two trips to the SE in a few days won't be easy for them. As we found out with Salford/Barrow in quick succession.

Still all the "ifs and buts" mean little if we don't win our games.

I am beginning to wonder if a Barrow V Gillingham playoff final has a nice ring to it - although if we lose then I might need to bring retirement forward.
