Finally, our 48-year wait for a top six finish is over and I couldn’t be more ecstatic to say that! Whilst Saturday’s clash with Morecambe didn’t provide much in the way of entertainment, the scenes when the full-time whistle was sounded were excellent. As the Sky Blue Army celebrated clinching a play-off spot, the travelling band of Shrimps fans revelled in the fact their team had staved off relegation. Not a bad day all-round for everyone at the Ricoh Arena…
It would’ve taken a lot for us to have fallen out of the top seven come 5pm, but stranger things had happened in the past and, therefore, I was always wary. However, it was all plain sailing in the end and results even went our way too, meaning our game was somewhat of a drab affair. City did create the better of the few chances that presented themselves during the course of the afternoon, but we failed to beat Barry Roche in the Morecambe goal who remained a bystander for large parts.
