Nothing to be ashamed about far from it, when I was 18 I was lucky enough to win an English Schools Track & Field championship (Shot put) despite that being errrrrrrr......28 years ago (blimey) I vividly recall the look on my parents faces when I gave them the medal that day. Sadly they are no longer with me but these memories like yours are something no money can buy, congratulations to both of you.
On a separate note I am glad I have the day off work today, it might be the drive which I really do not enjoy but there was such an atmosphere yesterday I am knackered and a bit hoarse.
Thank you very much. Yes very special memories. To be honest I have lost count the number of times I have filled up at work today looking back at the photos from yesterday when he came over to me

Got to a few more games this year and was there yesterday. The first time I've had that pit of the stomach nervousness / excitement in a long time prior to a game. Decent crowd on too, which added to the occasion.
Hopefully we've now gone as low as we will and the only way is up from here (as the song goes!).
Right coach, good group of players, a sound addition already for 2019, all looks bright.
It's be good to get something sorted ground wise.....what a difference the sound of 6000 people in a compact stadium would have made (I won't hold my breath mind)
Aww, Brings a tear to my eyes. Excellent emotional picture, thanks

That’s it, thank you very much Paul. It was a very special and emotional moment for us both. When I turned round afterwards I was amazed to see so many people watching and quite a few were wiping tears away, it really was an unbelievable moment
Now the dust is settling I just wanted to echo the thoughts already expressed and say a massive congratulations to AC, JK and all the players. Promotion was an absolute MUST in my view as I just couldn't see us surviving another season in L1, so the relief is immense. Although we chose to do it the hard way, I hope that in the long run that might be to our benefit - I certainly think the emotions felt on Sunday would had have been far less intense had we finished comfortably on top of the table. As for Workington, some of their tactics were an absolute disgrace, but that was the only hope they had of winning, and for a short spell it did look as though we were going to get dragged into it. Fair play to the referee, who although being dreadful in many respects, (offside non - existent!) at least had the courage to send off Moi Moi. I'm so looking forward to next season. I love going to Batley, Halifax and Dewsbury, have never been to Barrow before, and who knows, I might just make it to Toronto!
It was good to see the whole club celebrating on sunday, from the backroom staff through to first team players. I didn't notice the club captain though. I take it that Lee Smith is still in that position?
