OKAY, this has been the most depressing week ever.

If getting relegated wasn’t bad enough we now have to sit back and watch the whole drama played out in front of the world.

The worse thing is most people knew we were heading in the wrong direction.

It is not something that suddenly crept upon us.

The writing has been on the wall for many a month.

And I hate those ‘big club’ local supporters who seem to revel in the fact our club has got relegated.

How stupid are they? Hey, you have to live here too don’t you? It is like being in a sinking ship with a guy clutching on to a suitcase full of cash in the hope that he can buy his way of his impending doom.

But how does one explain the gravity of the situation to someone doesn’t follow football? Most notably my other half.

She seemed almost oblivious to the fact that Rovers had been relegated.

And then when it was explained that how this has happened…she came out with that immortal line….. ‘It’s only a game.’ ‘No it isn’t just a game’ I retorted. With that I stormed out of the house only to return to get my jacket as it was raining again.

Football was and still is my best conversation starter for many a year.

And when I meet someone who does not follow football I tend to find myself in a bit of a pickle. In the coming weeks I sense things may get worse before they get any better.

To take my mind of things I started thinking about the greatest concert line-up ever. For instance would you get Ray Charles to open or ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)?

Followed by Jackie Wilson, John Denvor, Bob Marley and the Rolling Stones.

At the interval one could discuss life and stuff with Mr Marley over a cup of tea before a second half line-up of the Bee Gees, Bill Withers, Nina Simone, Vera Lynn, Meatloaf and The Eagles.

To finish off it was a toss-up between Elvis and Sinatra. Then I decided it was my concert and they could well do a duet.

Yes, we got relegated but at least that concert line-up will keep the mind busy for a couple of days.
