Life has changed a bit since I wrote the very first post for That’ll Be The Day on 24th May 2007.
Allegiances haven’t really changed, just their order of importance, although the travelling with England has ended. The very first post can be read here https://thatbetheday.blogspot.com/2007/05/why-this-blog.html?m=0
I wasn’t on Twitter or Facebook, had no idea what I was doing, but with the help of a few tech savvy workmates, it was published. I didn’t think for one minute that anybody would read it, or even know it was there, but here we are, 19 years later, and a football blog that largely follows the fortunes of a club in the English sixth tier, has just had its one millionth view.
That is just crazy and the fact that it is read all over the world, from iconic football nations such as Brazil and Argentina, the cricketing strongholds of Bangladesh and India to the footballing minnow of Tibet, just blows my mind.
At my age, nearly 75, perhaps its 2,000,000th view is a little too much of a wish but I’ll keep posting just because I continue to love the game and writing about it.
