7.45pm Lets get this party started
7.55pm Rain in the camera gives a corner taker a semi invisible aura
8.15pm the weather is starting to get daft now
8.20pm I'm sheltering round the corner and I'll only come out if there's any goalmouth action down this end
8.30pm Match abandoned, get home and get out ofthose wet clothes before you get pneumonia
3rd March 2009.
Clipstone Miners Welfare 1 v. Ollerton Town 1
ABANDONED 45 minutes waterlogged pitch and shit weather
Last time these two played I was there too, abandoned 73rd minute due to floodlight failure with the game locked at 0-0, so tonight, the rematch, we attended out of some misplaced determination to see it through to some tangible conclusion (or out of a perverse sense of gallows humour), four of us set out on a foul raining and windy night and were joined by another thrill seeking mate when we got there.
Will we all be paying to watch this jinxed fixture a third time to see if there will ever be a result or conclusion of any kind?
Is the Pope a Catholic?
Is Susan Tully (Michelle Fowler) a sex Goddess?
Is all the Jade Goody stuff in the news boring you yet?
Is Graham Norton very funny despite being a poof?
Do I really own a well earned Blue Peter badge?
The answer to five of those questions is a definite yes.
Alas I'm undecided about the first one, there are times when you most definitely can get too much of a good thing.
