Outside the ground, supporters – many sporting Hawaiian shirts and floral garlands – gave their reaction to the takeover.<\/p>\n
Rob Brookes said it was “unbelievable”.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got our club back,” he said. <\/p>\n
“It was emotional at times, but the new chairman spoke really well and it sounds like a good future for us. <\/p>\n
“Thirty-four thousand and relegated, and you’ve got that kind of atmosphere? This fan base is just unbelievable.”<\/p>\n
Nikki Brookes added: “It was emotional when the chairman was speaking at the beginning. I think we all had tears in our eyes. The atmosphere was second to none. Brilliant.”<\/p>\n
Sisters Lucy Finney and Cara Stepney said: “Everyone’s just happy. It’s like we’ve got our team back. Everyone’s just dead chuffed. <\/p>\n
“This is what we were like when we knew we were going to Wembley. It’s light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
“It’s a huge club, we just love it. It just shows what this fan base is and what it means to the community.”<\/p>\n
Pedro Marsden added: “It was absolutely fantastic today – the fans were brilliant. We’re going down, we don’t care, simple as that. We’ll be back. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger – we’ll be back.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Outside the ground, supporters – many sporting Hawaiian shirts and floral garlands – gave their reaction to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":563284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-563283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
