Closure.... really - why do we need closure? It is a football club, it will have it's ups and downs - the day that it dies will be the day that I start thinking about closure. Perhaps this thread will be more suited to those not so very far away down the M27 soon - but it is not for us. We are on the up - but we have no devine right to top flight football. Many very good clubs have been where we have so there is no need to try to wipe it from the memory banks - if anything the bad times can be used positively to spur further growth and success.
Saying that we need closure is almost assuming that once we get into the premiership we will remain there for the end of time and all our troubles are over. Not going to happen - there will always be good times and bad times - it's what being a football supporter is all about. Life is good at the moment, but we will get relegated again, we will get beaten by Pompey again, we will lose in the cup final again - thats just the way it is, thats football. I really don't think that closure comes into it at all - the bad times just make you appreciate the club more during the good.
