Today Is The Day
Those of you who know me know I’m not a hugely emotional and fairly reserved person, but I felt like I had to write something about just how big of a deal today is for us.
The day is upon us, the biggest day in this small clubs short history. A day where it’s not about how Blues or Villa are doing, how many Manchester City are putting past another Premier League whipping boy. It’s all about us, Solihull Moors, the eyes of English football, the country are on us and only us.
I must say I’ve not been this excited for a game since the 27th of February 2011, that seems a whole life time ago. The day before, Moors beat Workington Town 2-0 to go into the play off places in the Blue Square North, with goals coming from Dom Langdon and the legend that is Junior English.
The very same day, tomorrow’s opponents were in the Premier League, getting a drubbing away to Wolves. They would be relegated two months later. Hardly surprising when you have Richard Kingson between the posts and DJ Campbell and Brett Ormerod up top.
Now we find the two clubs coming together today, under the lights and in front of the BBC cameras. Moors doing better than anybody who was a fan at the very beginning in 2007 could have ever imagined; and Blackpool enjoying a small resurgence after years of financial torture, can protest and asset stripping.
We all know what’s up for grabs here. A load of money, a potential trip to one of the big boys. But it’s the chance to be written into FA Cup folklore that should be really getting us going. Seeing Solihull on highlights reels for decades to come, being written into the history books alongside Hereford, Woking, Altrincham, Sutton and Lincoln would make me exceptionally proud that I was there.
The game is going to shape our future either way, A win tonight will see us financially straight for a long time, we could gain a whole host of new supporters and a chance to be in the FA Cup history books forever.
Let’s get Damson Park loud, hostile, lets get in their faces, you never know what could happen.
11v11. 90 minutes.

Re: Today Is The Day
Great post PM.
I haven’t been going as long as you have (around 5 years now) and I don’t go as often as I’d like either due to work commitments, however ever since my first game at the ATG I fell in love with the club (and I can remember only seeing 150-200 people at the ground!)
I was at the game on Saturday vs Salford and I stood in my usual spot near the burger van, just looking round the ground in amazement at the sheer amount of people there. It was just like the Wrexham and Hartlepool games. The support was superb and I was also able to get some of my work colleagues down there for their first time, after many months of recommending.
Tonight I take my Wife to the ATG. Not a football fan but I can tell she’s looking forward to it. I absolutely can’t wait and I’m very proud of what the players and staff/volunteers at the club have achieved in a very short space of time. It’s very appreciated.
Roll on his evening!!!!!!!! Can not wait!!!!!!
COME ON YOU MOORS!!!

Re: Today Is The Day
Brilliant post from Psycho. One word of caution, as I've already seen a call for a pitch invasion on facebook, think again, enjoy the game, yell, scream, shout, sing your hearts out but remember that a pitch invasion could cost us an absolute fortune.

What a looooooooooong strange trip it's been

Re: Today Is The Day
I think movement will be hard to police but unless you're lucky you'll be kept broadly in the end shown on your ticket.
Loved Tandy's post. The title makes me think of the The The song, This Is The Day, but with perhaps a slightly different message
