Going up...

Don't get me wrong, if I was like my friend Alex, who suppports Hull City football club, I'd have been really happy this season, going up into the Championship instead of staying down in League One. I wouldn't have complained at all. But that would have meant that I would have missed out on yesterday.

Yesterday was the play off finals to see who would gain that final place of promotion into the next league. I'm not going to go into an in depth commnentary of the game, that would be silly. Some of you probably saw the game. If not, you'll be able to read more at the Sheffield Wednesday website. All I'll say is the game had everything. We were in the lead, then we were tied, then it looked like we were going to lose. There was a penalty, and extra time, and eventually, we won. We deserved it - we were the better team. The atmosphere was electric too. Before the game, we were all out in the streets, just grinning, and waiting for the match. We took 40,000 supporters; from what I gather, more supporters than any other team has ever taken to Cardiff Millenium Stadium.

So yeah, if I'd have been like my friend Alex, or indeed, like my friend Ben, who supports Luton Town, I would have been happy with the promotion. I would even have saved myself £40. But it was worth £40 of anyone's money just to be in Cardiff yesterday, let alone inside the stadium. Come on Wednesday!
