There’s such a fighting spirit to Oldham Athletic. So close to going out of existence in 21/22. But great fans and good people like Frank Rothwell and Darren Royle refused to let their club die. They fought and survived. They were so close to losing the National League play-off but they fought and recovered and won. Resilience on and off the pitch. You have to feel for Southend United, who’ve also been through the mill in recent years, winding-up threat, transfer embargo, points deduction, prolonged takeover. Their fighting spirit kept them alive. Amazing tifo at Wembley said it all: never give up. Southend gave everything and contributed fully to an epic play-off. The quality shown by both sides, and the depth of support (gate: 52,115 and could have been more but for transport/ticket fiasco) is another reminder of the legitimacy of the campaign to have #3UP from the National League. #oafc #southendunited
