Tomorrow will be a massive test for us. Win and we are riding the wave, probably to the final and even beyond. Lose and Bromley have managed to stop the train in its tracks at the wrong time, and done themselves a good chance of being involved. Confidence is massive here as I say, we need the win as that will push us on and give the players the “we can beat anyone” feeling.

I was born in 1980, so Britpop arrived at "that" time of my life. Like many others I was into Oasis and Blur - first Blur, then Oasis when Morning Glory came out, but Blur evolved in the later 90s whereas Oasis could never find their best form again. Oasis' first two albums were sensational, and their B-side collection "Masterplan" is also well worth a listen. The songs they put on B-sides in their ealy years (including Half the World Away) were streets ahead of anything they produced after Morning Glory. My real favourites were Pulp, and I still listen to them today - quality music with real depth. They're not really a Britpop band though, they'd been together on independent labels since the early 80s. Looking back, many of the bands from that scene were pretty shallow, producing music you could tap your foot to but never really want to go back to. Suede, OCS, Echobelly, I'm looking at you
