    With promotion looming, how will you be celebrating tomorrow evening if we secure promotion?

    There's an episode of Midsomer Murders that Mrs Keighley and I have missed.

    Due to social distancing restrictions I’ll be jumping in a pond in the woods.

    Heading to a small family BBQ (due to start at 3 but I'm going after the match is over) and hopefully bringing a bottle of champagne with me...

    Good call. Mrs Moose and I didn’t catch all of last week’s Countryfile so we are sorted.

    Crack open a few beers, set off the fireworks I held back from bonfire night, stick some Elton on and turn it up to 11 to annoy the ultra conservative god botherers in our street.

    Hopefully be a double celebration as it's rumoured Biden will formally recognise the Armenian Genocide.

    Presumably he is old enough to have been around at the time?

    Have booked an outdoor table at the pub opposite the pond - that way would be able to enjoy all the fun safely. IF we do achieve promotion tomorrow, I hope a blind eye can be turned in town and we can have a good celebration after the year we've all had, obviously keeping things sensible.

    I shall nod sagely, say "that'll do" and then have a nice brew and a bourbon as I change my homepage back to the BBC Premier League page.

    After that I will get rat faced.

    Mrs UEA, who is only vaguely interested in what Watford get up to because of me, was quick off the mark with a reminder at full time on Tuesday that I apparently started a promotion tradition in 2015 by going out on that sunny Saturday afternoon and buying a bottle of champagne.

    While I didn't realise I'd set a precedent, I'm more than happy to repeat that tomorrow.

    I have a gin and mojito order due to arrive on Saturday. Hopefully what I will be doing is swigging a few in celebration while reading on here about various exploits in various ponds. Hopefully what I won’t be doing is swigging a few in commiseration while shaking my head at how premature this thread was..

    I think he meant he's commencing celebrations midway through the first half with his mate Luke.

    Phew! I was worried that was the time of the first goal and some bloke called Luke plays for Millwall.

    Thankfully in Texas there’s no restrictions or mask mandate, so I can do what I want!!!

    Then I realize, I’m the only watford fan in Texas, so I will look like a loon celebrating by myself and most likely get shot. So I will be in my house, shouting mildly, with some gentle clapping.

    Visiting Lidls and preparing for my first singles match in two years on Sunday.
    Checking on the minutes of a zoom meeting prior to my match regarding the clueless clown that steals a living at the club as a coach.
    I may put a bottle of proseco in the fridge at full time but don't wan't to jinx it at this stage.
    COYH!

    Crying into a few glasses of wine worrying about the vicious beatings we will be subject to next season and how much i will miss midweek matches and actually winning a few games. Wondering which fly-by-night mercenaries will arrive to take advantage of our next 9 months in the sun before leaving us in an even greater financial hell-hole than we are today.
    Sad times indeed.

    In 2015 I was in a pub on the high street and spotted Almen Abdi leaving Zinco's (where the team celebration meal had occurred) and despite being a fairly reserved person and almost completely sober I simply had to go an accost him. He was class. I was wearing a T Shirt with his face on, which amused him. It should have been embarrassing, but it wasn't, it was joyous.

    Later on me and my mate got rejected from Oceana due to having trainers (absurd rule), where I hear the real celebrations occurred. Did anyone manage to get in?

    I imagine if/when we seal it, it will be more subdued, but a hard earned, sensible, social distanced celebration will still be had.

    Zinco's closed years ago, but a new restaurant opened in its place just a few weeks ago...

    Heading up to greet the team bus and then need to book a table somewhere in town! Anywhere showing the match?
