You go through so many shared emotions together it creates a very special bond. I began to realise a few years ago, like many others, that our club is very special indeed. From the Board, management, players, staff and fans we have a relationship and ethos that is admired and envied by more people than we could ever imagine. I was working in Ipswich the week after they played at CP and was told by a seasoned Ipswich supporter that their visit to Morecambe was the best away trip he had ever been on. “We’ve never been treated so well in any other place in the country” how many times have we heard that? One of the great things about that fantastic night on Thursday was that the TV cameras were there to witness our amazing supporters, as the sea fret magically rolled in, giving a standing ovation to the Daggers and mixing happily with their fans on the pitch. The Sky commentators seemed very surprised - we weren’t.

I know they've been around for a few seasons now but this season more than any, they have deservedly picked up the mantle of 'leading' Morecambe fans forwards, in the same spirit as those who have gone before, with a great attitude and in true 'don't let the football spoil your day' approach. Loud and enthusiastic, but with humour and grace. Some of them have needed a guiding hand from an older head in the past but now I think the older guys can look towards the younger blokes with pride, safe in the knowledge that our excellent reputation will be taken forwards... and eventually, in turn, handed on to another generation!

Cheers lads!
