Battle of Barnet
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:53 am
I expect that the Battle of Barnet is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of league football. Upon it depends the contracts of many players, and the long continuity of Sammy's Empire. The whole fury and might of Barnet must very soon be turned on us.
Fairclough knows that his team will have to break us in this shit hole of a stadium. If we can stand up to him and his team, all shrimp fans may be free and the life in league 2 may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then our little football world, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of Blue Square Premier.
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if Morecambe football club's league status last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
