Open-top bus parade (Monday 23rd)

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Weird to have it the very next day. Later on in the week, around Wednesday would surely have been better, gives people chance to sort things out to get there and would ensure far greater numbers. Hopefully enough can get there at such short notice.

I expect it'll be packed.

I hope it has a good turn out, I will be stuck at work as 1 days notice isn't enough to get cover

Your mind plays tricks but I could’ve sworn they’re usually on a Wednesday. I’m still going but I get the feeling it might be a bit low key compared to other parades - hope I’m wrong.

The Centurions parade in 2018 was on the Monday immediately following the previous day’s final PL game at Southampton but as we were already champions, it was confirmed a week or so before that. The 2019 parade was confirmed after we clinched the title at Brighton but didn’t happen for another week until the Monday following our FA Cup final win over Watford.
So the last two have been on Mondays but we had a lot more notice than this year.

Doesn’t feel like this has been advertised at all.

I’ve attended every parade so far and probably will this one, but I wish it wasn’t on a Monday. Difficult to get to town at the best of times

not much to moan about!

Get on the tram mate, best solution
