I sensed a slight shiver as I remembered the faces of our fans on the Car Park just prior to this event, all feeling a sense of imminent loss !. This was 'then', and a time in our Club's history that must never be forgotten ?.

How right you are. As I came back on the train from Luton, I reflected on the contribution of Ilyas Kahn to the club's very survival. Amidst the present euphoria, that must NEVER be forgotten.

Incidentally, I was astonished at the number of people who mentioned Stanley's success to me as I crossed London. One young man was disappointed that we had won as he had had backed us for a draw - but said he was not too bothered as backing Stanley had earned him a fortune from the bookies this season.
