David Sullivan pens his latest column
We are now firmly in the final stretch of the 2014/15 season and it is important that we put our recent run of results behind us to end the campaign on as good a note as possible.
We welcome Burnley to the Boleyn Ground this Saturday and just as when we took on Queens Park Rangers last weekend, and Aston Villa next, we will be facing a team who are fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table.
For us, we are well out of the scrap but that is not to say there is nothing to play for in these last four games. We built up a hugely positive momentum at the start of this season, and if we finish strongly, we can take some of that into the summer too.
It is nearly time, as we do at the end of every season, to sit down and plan how we can improve for the next one. That means identifying the right players to come in and take us forward once again and we will be doing our utmost to land our top targets.
The next season, of course, is going to be a memorable one for us as we bid an emotional farewell to the Boleyn Ground – and it is our job to make all aspects of the campaign memorable, not least on the pitch.
To that end, I’m thrilled that so many of you have chosen to be a part of the campaign by renewing your Season Tickets in record numbers. Our ticket office are now working through the waiting list for Season Tickets and we fully expect to hit our cap before the start of the new season so if you are on the waiting list please do make sure you are available when the ticket office try to contact you.
On another note, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of our greatest nights this year. I am, of course, talking about our European Cup Winners’ Cup triumph over 1860 Munich at Wembley.
To mark the occasion, it has been my great pleasure to invite several members of that legendary team back to the Boleyn Ground for this Saturday’s game and I am looking forward to seeing them, just as no doubt they are looking forward to seeing all the fans again.
Their triumph came in the middle of a glorious era for the Club, and those are the kind of days we are hoping to experience once again in the near future.
Come on you Irons
