It only counted as one win, but I think, in people's minds they had disregarded some of the things this team has accomplished and now it validates them. Honestly, perception is reality in everybody's business. I think if you stare at the numbers for where our team is - we have a very respectable RPI, and it's been respectable all year, we have a very respectable strength of schedule, and it's been respectable all year, two key non-league wins on the road - all the formulas that says why are you even talking bubble?

I'd like it to be higher, ... but there are an awful lot of museums in this country and around the world that would be pleased to have even half that attendance. I think it's a very respectable number. I'd like to have a thousand people a day going through there, but it could get a little bit jammed. We don't have a huge space, but it's a respectable size. It is what it is. What I'd really like to see is a higher percentage of our visitors being local and not tourists.
Elizabeth Herridge
