I never had a wink of sleep that friday night,i finished up getting up around 3am opened a can of Johns and put on a video of the recent sky covered game against the blunts,the nerves were starting to kick in and i felt sick with the tension,this was it,the big one,a win over Bradford City and we were in the top flight for the first time in our history after 110 years of trying. I went into work around 5am i had not planned to but i needed something to do and occupy the time,i just potted around for an hour or so and had a coffee and a bit of breakfast. At around 6.30am i drove down to Oakwell,parked the car and got out,i just walked along Grove Street around the back of the Ponty and East Stand deep in thought of what lay ahead later that afternoon,i was not alone either there were at least a dozen people mingling about at that time,we just nodded at one another and hoped everything would be ok,dont think words were needed,we all knew why we were here at this time and the enormity of what lay ahead that afternoon. At 10 am the pre booked taxi pulled up outside my house,i kissed my then wife and the lads goodbye,they wished me luck and i said i would meet her later that night in town around 8pm no matter what happened,my 3 mates were already in the cab and we just nodded,nothing much was said on the way into town,all i knew was that i needed a pint and quickly and i had one in my hand at around 10.25am in Yate's,it was already full to the rafters and the atmosphere inside was electric,4 and half hours to kick off.
To be continued Part 2 Shortly

Don't leave it too long for part two animallittle... I was getting absorbed in that. When you're so passionate about your own team, you sometimes lose sight of the fact that other fans out there are equally as passionate about their team.
