I have no doubt there would have been a phoenix club, it's done Chester City the World of good, they're having higher attendences in lower divisions than they had when they were in the league, but I can't say I'm not happy supporting ickle Owdum now. It's never phased me that we're not a successful club, that we don't get 12k through the gates of our 4 sided stand, that we're not fashionable or that we're not in the greedy league with the rest of the soulless corporate soccer franchises. In fact I rarely give it an inkling of thought. Bury away made me realise something, we're not footballing giants, we're not making history, we're barely keeping the Wolves at the door, but days like that remind you just why you fall in love with football, why you fall in love with your club and why you shiver your arse off watching us draw against Walsall in an almost empty ground in February.
Paralysed neck down? Well some might say, we will find a brighter day.
