    I was not renewing 100% (I know I say it every year - this year I wasn't, didn't even have the money)

     

    then dad fell seriously ill last week. So ill we'd pretty much said our good byes on Friday night. 

     

    Friday before dad was moved to the ICU and before he suffered his cardiac arrest and before being put into a medically induced coma he told me to go to Southend. " don't worry about me I want you to go, you should go. You're a Latics fan it's what you do"

     

    As dad deteriorated through the night I knew I wouldn't go to Southend and we got home at 3am after being at hospital for 15 hours knowing it could be curtains for him. After getting about two hours kip, we rang to see if he had survived the night. He had, and I renewed my season tickets first thing Saturday morning. 

     

    Why? As you know I've simply had it with the doom and gloom and lack of a Plan or hope, but dad passed on his love of Latics to me and as the outlook for him is grimmer than grim, multiple organ failure and there's several machines at the moment keeping him alive. He needs a miracle, until his illness kicked in over the last 10 years we'd go home and away together most weeks and despite my loathing for the current regime I can't throwaway a bond developed through dad over 31 seasons. I know when the time comes for him i'll never be closer to him than when I'm at boundary park on a Saturday afternoon...

     

    i can't let that go, I just can't...

    Really touching post. Thoughts with you and your family.

  2. It's to his credit despite the bad results this season the team really played for SR today, have the players being doing that at Notts County for JS?

    He's now hit on a system which works best for him and with a few additions things should improve, do we want to rip everything apart yet again.?

    a system that works? We drew 0-0 at home with Port Vale. One half decent performance doesn't paper over a disgraceful season so far.
