Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes + lots of swearing and joy!!!!!! Sat here worrying because with a 1-1 draw we were drifting toward the relegation zone, and up steps Mr Paul Dickov Premiership player in the 90th minute and we instantly move up to 15th, mid table - 7 points from relegation and only 8 points off a promotion play off place!!! GULP!!

Also, yet another home sell out (well minus a few including me who couldn't get there!) plus over 1,700 (maybe the full 1,890) away fans. The odd thing is that we get the third lowest home attendances in the CCC. BUT as a percentage of the total stadium capacity we are top with the average attendance this season being about 8,600 (putting us in 22nd in crowds) which is 89% of capacity (putting us top in crowds). Leicester were another club who wanted to bring more fans. They could easily have brought 2,500+ and with home fans now being regularly sold out there could clearly be 11,000+ gates regularly. But still the club stall and stall about expanding the ground. (Crowd today was 9,298)

But oh the joys of a 90th minute winner!! COME ON!

Glad you're feeling better! ;)
