Outside Chance

Another fantastic night in front of the Setanta cameras, what an atmosphere created by our supporters. Winning last night, against Burton, has at least given us an outside chance of automatic promotion. If that does not happen then we are on a great run of form going into the play-offs. The run in will be full of twists and turns, tonight being no exception with some of our promotion rivals playing against each other.
Gotta nip out now but later on I will give you a lowdown on yet another horrific coach journey, more about the game and other random information.


Later on...........We arrived at Burton Albion's ground after one hell of a battering on board the yellow peril. Not only did we have to contend with seats made out of concrete and covered in scouring pads but yesterday was special, even for the yellow submarine. With two drivers in tow we felt that it would be a pain free trip, but how wrong can you be. The toilet was out of bounds, with the remains of last weeks rotary club trip to Bognor Regis swilling about in there it was like the loo area at Glastonbury. That smell, combined with Elliot's continued stomach problems, is still with me now. But surely we would be quick with two crack drivers.
No, we left Pete Morgan at Micheal Wood services by accident - he was queuing for a creme egg at the time. This was only discovered after ten minutes so Pete was panicking - he jumped in with a couple who had seen us leave, firing up the motorway at top speed. In the end, after a great chase and an hour round trip we picked him back up at the same services - he passed us twice in the car! . Pete was also crocked for the game after hurdling the central reservation!.
So now we were really rushing to get to our pre-match meal. After seeing both Burton and The Belfry signs go by alarms bells started to ring, maybe they knew a different route. But after a discussion between Hargreaves, Sills and Nicholson it was decided that I would give them a gentle nudge at the front. I pointed out that we had passed both destinations to the driver's. After a quick shuffle of a map ( no sat nav on the banana ) and a reddening of cheeks we soon were pulling off. They had gone 30 minutes past the junction, to be fair an easy mistake to make, especially considering there were massive signs saying Belfry and there were two of them looking !!.
Another hour later we ate a late pre-match, had a few Rennie's, and then soon after, arrived at the ground broken. It worked again though, a great away performance by the lads. Five hours on a mobile toilet can't even break us!!.

P.S Nice to have Becky, Andy, Josh and Millie down to see us. With nine people in the house it's going to be fun !!.
