What a game. What a season.

I always get a little emotional for the last game of the season. Proud of the team. Sad the season’s over. Anxious about who will or won’t be back in August. Sad again that I couldn’t be there in person.

One nice thing about following the last home game on Twitter is that you get to see players and fans posting pictures of the families during the lap of honour.

There’s something wonderful about seeing these bouncy small children pinging about on the pitch while their dads beam with pride.

And there’s always the reactions to the end-of-season awards. Speeches and Tweets are pretty standardised, but you can still feel what it means to the recipient.

I love the last game of the season because you see exactly what the club is about. You see it in the players, in the technical staff, in the volunteers. It’s more than just simple pride. It’s accomplishment.

When you have a club that’s built from nothing, that’s always being added to it by everyone who comes in contact, every game feels like an accomplishment.

These are ordinary people who built something wonderful, and they know it.

This is a club that never forgets what they’re about.

It’s fitting, then, that the game-winning goal was scored by a young man from the academy. It’s be-fitting a team built from the ground up.

So. We’re a two-leg tie from a Wembley final, and then a Wembley final from third tier football.

It’s deserved reward for hard work, but it’s a reward inextricably tied to the work itself. This is a party, but there’s still a job to do.

It’s befitting a team of builders.
