Utterly bizarre - we were 2-0 at Gillingham and there was a power cut. So the players were taken off, and just after they came back on, it was clear from a match being played elsewhere that we were certain to be promoted.

I note that ex-BBC man John Ware is giving Gary Linekar lectures in how he should keep his mouth shut as he is passionate about BBC impartiality.
In other news, John Ware was part of a consortium that bought the JC led by one Robbie Gibb.
Anyone know what Gibb is up to these days?
