Pete's New Year message

Posted on: Mon 11 Jan 2010

Well another year over and we are just on the edge of a Play-Off position.
Let's hope our slow start doesn't impact upon our ability to finish in the top six.
We have had some good home results and performances in December and now we need to try to get the same results away from home.

I attended my first game after my operation against Walsall. To be honest it was a bit too early and I should really have stayed at home. But you know what we are like, how can you stay at home when Millwall are playing?That's the
eighth wonder of the world.

The three games I have seen Walsall, Bristol Rovers and Derby have all been very exciting, and we at times have shown some good quality It's great to see Steve Morison finally scoring regularly and being rewarded for the effort
he puts in.

Personally I have always seen something in him that made me think he would come good. Lets hope Lewis can do the same after a really good performance and goal against Derby.

I still find it hard to get my head around Tony Craig with a phantom mask on. Seeing him powering at you to get the ball at 100 mph must be scary enough, so I think the mask is working in our favour!

We have now reached the January transfer window and Kenny is busy working out his options. He is being fully supported by the chairman and board. I have mentioned before that Kenny keeps his cards close to his chest when we make any signings. He has normally been working on the deal for weeks. So many possible targets fall through and the moment you start naming names the information is out of date pretty quickly. Kenny normally has three players for each position on file ready should he need to move on them.

I have been able, over the last few weeks, to deal with all the emails and letters I've received from fellow fans.
There has been nothing too major, just a complaint about stewarding and a few people writing to say how well the Family Enclosure is working. I have passed them to the appropriate people at the club and the complaint will be looked into.

I missed a Board meeting in late December as I wasn't well enough to attend. Andy Ambler and Trevor Keyse came to my house to go over a few bits. I think this shows the continued commitment the club have for the Fan Director position.

The AGM went through very quietly. The Chairman once again was annoyed that some shareholders were blocking the club's attempts to raise new money, which means John Berylson has had to continue to commit himself to the Millwall cause, which in itself isn't a bad thing.

When I attended the Walsall game John Berylson, on behalf of the club, presented me with a signed photo "to our hero" - a very moving moment for me. The soldiers in the picture are the real heroes not me!

On a personal note I have another batch of chemotherapy starting soon. This is as a precaution, and will last nine weeks. Then it will just be a matter of recovering from the chemo and the op. I am slowly getting there, I have lost two and a
half stones since the op as I am unable to eat as I used to.
It will improve I have been told!

Anyway, as always thanks for all your messages of support. If you have any problems drop me a line petergarston@hotmail.com
