Last day of the season (oh sweet Caroline)

Season's tickets:

£200.

Season's train and bus trips to the stadium:

£60.

Supporter's gear:

£50.

Being there to celebrate your team lifting the league trophy:

PRICELESS.

For some things there's money. For everything else there's loving your football team.


There's also seeing Captain Graeme Murty score his first goal of the season (and only his 2nd in five years!). Murts was the only outfield player not to have scored this season. Then came the fairy tale ending that not even Hans-Christian Andersen could have written. We were drawing 1-1 with 6 minutes to go and Nicky Shorey won us a penalty. Even though the title had been wrapped up, I'd never felt so nervous:

2-1. Murty won us the match. What a brilliant moment it was.

It capped a fantastic season. At the first game of the season against Plymouth, today never seemed possible. We were awful that day. What a difference 9 months makes. Seeing the sad faces of the Birmingham fans after they were relegated yesterday made me think that that could be us this time next year. I'll forget that for now though. Days like today may only come along once in a lifetime so I'm just going to sit and enjoy it while it lasts.

Oh sweet Caroline, good times never felt so good...
