Having said all that they've given us some great moments doin the double over Leeds and bouncing day,Duffy will go into folklore along with bobby Davison. Next season will be tougher the teams coming down will be better than this season those with the money will spend again trying to improve,this season was a free hit for the team it probably is the worst championship for a while and an opportunity feels like it's been missed,especially as a team 20 points worse than us last season are still in with a good shout of getting there whilst our hopes hang by a thread and as usual are reliant on other teams faltering,but we are goin to finish higher than I thought we would pre season so I can't complain too much and we're light years away from that team I walked out on 2yrs ago,looking forward to next season though let's hope the board sorts itself out and gives us reason for optimism
