Ticket secured for our last ever trip to Griffin Park on Saturday - will be a sorely missed ground. I still remember Jamie Cureton scoring our winner to secure promotion to the Championship in 2002 like it was yesterday, absolute carnage.
Just back from my first England away for many years out...
Our recently appointed Sporting Director Mark Bowen is set to become our new manager a few weeks after joining the club initially...
Pulses are racing.
I'd be happy with Mark Hughes. The return of Nigel Howe earlier this year, who was CEO during the Coppell and McDermott era, means we've got an experienced head to direct the next course of action. As a result, I'll think we'll keep it safe and not appoint another unknown like Jose Gomes...

Bristol City (A) tickets sorted for next Saturday - first game of the season for me. I'll be dropping JJH a call to organise our ruck before the game, if we don't take the streets of Bedminister before that.
Complete idiots - all that money they earn and they couldn't call a cab? Young supporters look up to these players as heroes, they're nothing of the sort when they act like this.
Would happily see us back in League One - seeing us in the Premier League was okay until the novelty wore off. This league feels like a routine rather than anything enjoyable.
It's hard to get excited by modern football as a whole nowadays but the lower leagues, especially non-league, feel...
