Join Mann and Gardiner as they take you on a funny, frustrating, exhilarating and sometimes emotionally challenging journey into English footballs Promised Land. The trials and tribulations, of following a newly promoted team in the Premier League, are provided by S.B. Mann, "The grumpy old fan." Mark Gardiner's, detailed match reports, provide the context and as the clubs Co-chairman highlights, in the books foreword are "are far more valuable and insightful than any that you will have read on the back pages of the Sunday papers." Together they have created, an invaluable and entertaining record of an exhilarating season. The book is a must for all Crystal Palace supporters wanting to re live the 2013 / 2014 season, but it is also a journey that fans of many clubs will enjoy reading. Man U fans might not, but S.B would probably not worry about that to much. As well as a personal journey, The grumpy old fan, addresses may of the issues affecting football fans around the country. From standing and sitting, through to the more mundane but equally important problem of how to find a toilet, without having to abstain from smoking.
