Title: Rovcon level
Post by: IDM on May 10, 2024, 09:34:58 am
OK it's matchday, so how are we all feeling about tonight.

I can't go and can only watch the second half, so I am somewhat detached from the pre-match feelings I might have if I was going.

Without being over confident, as anything can happen in a football match, I'm quite relaxed at the moment.  Not necessarily about the result, more a general feeling.  If we don't make it, we've had a great end to the season and can look forward to next season with real optimism.

But I think we will make it.  I'm a calm Rovcon4, would be a really low 5 but nowt is guaranteed.   :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

I’ll be picking the granddaughter up about 3:30 then a (fingers crossed) leisurely drive across Leeds to get to the M62. That shouldn’t be too busy then down the M18 to get my usual parking spot. Bit of shopping at the Lakeside, something to eat and a couple of pints in the BVB. Get in our seats early ish to avoid the rush then soak in the atmosphere building.
Then it is over to the lads to do their bit.

Two hours tennis, (take my mind of it).
Beers and Pizza in 24 degrees (relaxation tactic).
Two hours in garden (talk to plants connect with nature)

Yep still bricking it.

Yes, been confident all week.

No, not bricking it now. We'll get through comfortably.

I never doubted, from about 6 games ago, that we will be in league one next season. We will win 2-0 or 3-0 against Crewe tonight and no matter whether we face MK Dons or Crawley at Wembley we will be too be strong for either of them.

Just got back from a good work out. Feeling good. Definitely butterflies in my stomach, or it could be a meaty guff.

8 hours behind. Can’t wait to watch on ESPN with iFollow commentary on.

ROVCON 3 but will definitely be ROVCON 1 by kick off.


The LP is looking resplendent.

Stayed at 4 all day until I got home after 35 mins play to find us 2 down!  Rovcon 3 for the rest of the game, 2 for penalties and 1 for the last one.  At least we made the goalie make a save rather than go off target.

Still a massive over achievement having been 22nd after almost 2/3rds of the season.
