The following message appeared on the club facebook page in September 2020 – “We have one week to go and it is all getting very real. A big and very heartfelt thank you to those of you who have listened and stuck by me, you know who you are. I am not going far and I really hope we can keep in touch. To Grant and Aaron, there are no words to thank you enough for all you have done and I wish you both good luck and good fortune, I am in your debt. And now I am getting a lump in my throat so I think I will go and wash it down with a pint or two! Thank you everyone for the memories xx.”
