Well, this is exciting. It's been a long road indeed, but thanks to you and other generous people, enough money has now been raised to mean the book will be published.

It'll now come out as a paperback, which means that everyone who has made a pledge will either be upgraded to becoming a super patron (with their name in the front of the book) at no extra cost, or get a £5 refund instead by emailing support@unbound.com.

I'm hoping it'll come out in August, but will keep you posted. And the exciting news doesn't stop there. The book has had its first quote and here it is: "Every football fan will enjoy and relate to The Long, Long Road to Wembley" - John Cross, Daily Mirror.
