<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can never be more clear when you see the fans at the end of the game. A club that\u2019s suffered for 25 years in terms of since they\u2019ve been in the Premier League and that journey going down to League Two.\u201cCredit to everyone involved in those tough years. Mark Robins, of course, he has to have a shout-out. But it\u2019s a massive, massive achievement from everyone involved, and it\u2019s really special.\u201cI wanted to do it away from home a little bit. I know what it\u2019s like to do it this way; it\u2019s the fans that come all the time, away from home. They\u2019re really dedicated fans and they\u2019re having the night of their lives. It\u2019s what we do this job for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
