Tins of Inch's are perfect for a celebration.....................so I'm finding out!!!

As the commentator screamed at Wembley in 2015 "This club just does not know when it is beaten" I cannot express my emotions right now any better than that. We are one, we are UNITED! So pleased for not just us, the current fans, but those in the future and those who we remember as well who are with us in spirit.

490 days, 490 days since being put up for sale, we are finally sold.

A day that many never thought would come, but we are so thankful it has.

Spare a thought for those Shrimpers that have passed away during this whole sorry saga. They never got to see this bright new future we are going to have, they never got to celebrate with us all tonight by raising a glass to COSU.

The news broke as I picked up my eldest from pre-school, but I knew what was coming. The players were in a meeting this afternoon and were told this news before it went public, and rightly so. I believe staff were included too. I hope they get their bonus, but the only chance of that happening is from COSU.

I’m thankful that the people I speak to, not just in the club, never believed this would ever be the end. The countless “final” court appearances, embargoes, point deductions and being literally minutes away from being booted out. Rightly or wrongly, they have always displayed confidence to me, so I haven’t felt some of the things you’ve all felt, but what a sense of relief now it’s done.

Over 1,000 season tickets sold already, which must be a record for how quick they’ve gone. I expect a very good up take on the shirts too.

There are so many to thank in all this. Stan Collymore, Tom Lawrence, Kev Maher, Mark Bentley, Darren Currie (and the other backroom staff), the players (even those that have moved on), and of course COSU. Obviously there are people I’ve forgotten too.

I wish I was in the Railway tonight, or even in the Roots Hall car park earlier. Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of trying to get kids to sleep. One down, the youngest to go.

I’ve got some beers in the fridge that I can’t wait to get open, once I’ve got my youngest to sleep.

Enjoy the evening everyone. This is just the start.

Wow...is that your garden? Can we have a dedicated Devon fanzone set up for those in the South West! What a view.

And a great view from my garden this evening in Cumbria. The ripples from Essex reach here strongly. What a great day. COYB!!!!

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

There’s some bloody nice gardens on here.

Have to say this day is for all you fans who have stood by the club through thick and thin. Have a great weekend to you all.

Aug 10th will be our chance to say a big thank you to all at the club and consortium. Let's hope for a win to really get our season started.

I am still trying to take it all in after all the years of utter misery the has put us through.

It's really hard to believe I can finally relax and look forward to my beloved football club having a future with new owners, a fantastic management team and wonderful players.

Keep pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming.

Ding dong the rat has gone!

Not bad news to wake up to on a Saturday morning. Is 6:51 am too early for a drink?

 

[Shrimper95]

I don’t know what we’re supposed to do now! So much time and effort has gone in to the takeover and getting it done, can we actually start to think about football now?!?

 

[Booma]

A fitting choice I thought (I know it’s not actually Australian but you try finding VB or Castlemain in Stalybridge)

OK boys and girls, you get a pass THIS TIME but if we are going to properly honour our new Aussie chairman then we need to start sourcing some decent beer from this part of the world to toast him.

Not Fosters, not VB, not XXXX.

Tooheys blue?

 

[dbailey3]

Finally got myself a pint after following the Mrs around IKEA for the past hour. Wish I could be in the Railway tonight but I’ll be back for the Hartlepool and Boston games to celebrate. Here’s to a new chapter and the greatest times in our history to come. UTB!

No way having non-alcoholic!

 

[puk puk shrimper]

Think the Chairman may like a Tooheys, but as a Far North Queenslander, it's a Great Northern for me, cheers

 

[Well Fried Shrimp]

What great news to wake up to in Sydney
I have nothing but the greatest admiration for everyone at the club and you wonderful supporters.
Bit early to start drinking but will certainly have a few bevvies tonight
UTB

Carlton Draught on tap would be nice. Although the new boss being a Sydneyite Tooheys might be the go.
