Were any of you getting excited about playing Morecambe at home?

There would have been excitement around that game as it was seen as the start of the GameChanger era and now Paul Cook had bombed out the losers who had been dragging us down over the past two or three seasons, he'd surely lead us to glory with an opening day crushing of the Shrimps setting the tone....


.....and indeed, the tone was duly set for the next four months at least....

Yep. There were some massive alarm bells ringing for me after that game.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

- you might be thinking of Accrington, as KJ's cousin is now married to Ross Sykes who used to play for them back then, but has now been at Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium for the last 3 years?

As for that Morecambe game, I've always been excited about the start of any season. To be fair, there was a decent size crowd for League One as well - Attendance: 21,037.

Yes, it was the first live Town match I had seen for 18 months so that part was a big deal.

The Paul Cook era I was les excited about after the way we finished the previous season.

Maybe i am becoming grumpy but i was more up for Accrington away than premier league away games.

It was more fun wasn't it and an actual game, playing Arsenal. Man City etc is not a game it is really, it's too lopsided.

Nobody spent £250 million on players to play Morecombe - and there’s a reason we’d never played them in our entire history.

You need higher aspirations, if that’s your benchmark for us, it’s woeful.., pathetically, abject, and well below our history, past and present.

We once lost to Barrow, also not our yardstick.

Try Sunderland, Leeds, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, what terrifies you about measuring us against similar or smaller clubs, with the same or fewer resources, but who are better at us at the business of running a successful football club??

Park your ego. We aren’t the best because you support us, we aren’t elite, and we’ve got it all to prove, year five, and a class coach has given us TWO generational opportunities.., there’s no hiding place if we get another 22 points or less.., there’s worst seasons in our history when we’ve spent so much …, wouldn’t be good enough if we’re still better than Morcemibe.

It’s time to adult. You’re in the big boy league now.., THAT is the yardstick, and I’d suggest if you want to watch league one, just keep happy clapping Ashton, you’ll get your wish sooner than you think.

Because I so rarely get back to PR, I genuinely couldn't be more excited whoever we're playing.

I'm absolutely gutted to be missing out on the two friendly games on my doorstep over the summer!
