The Season Can't Come Soon Enough!
Poppies fans are starting to whip themselves into a Non-Park-loving, piss-the-league frenzy of screaming optimism. Again. Don't we do this every season? A group of untested players in a ground a comparably sized club couldn't afford to run, and we've all suddenly gone from dreading the move to thinking we're gonna win the league! We've gone from worrying about name changes due to an empty stadium to worrying that we can't all reserve the exact seat we want in the stands. We've gone from being uncomfortable with the idea of taking over the Direones ground to driving over to Non Park in the middle of the working day to hoover up season tickets!
The Sun is out, Morell's players are stroking the ball around, and Imraan is splashing the cash once again. Life is great! Providing, of course, we choose not to recall what has happened the last two seasons as the Winter draws in and Imraan gets bored with us again. When the funding is cut and the December sleet is coming down, will we all be so happily bouncing over to Irthlingborough to watch our new team of loanees and youth players?
As a club we are so utterly dependant on Imraan that we can all but hope that he doesn't become too distracted with his forthcoming business venture, and continues to fund our unrealistic ambitions.
And why can't the season come soon enough? A few home reverses usually puts a stop to premature positivity syndrome, and lets us get back to moaning like genuine Poppies fans!
