We had planned another weekend Waders away trip – 3rd Saturday in a row 😍, however as we are all very aware the football got cancelled due to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth 11 😒 and the match was rescheduled for a Tuesday night… how I love a Tuesday night game 🤥
A few of the GreenArmy were due to be on this trip with (my boy Lew, Bunnyman, DJ, M&Em )joining us; but with the coach leaving at 4pm, it was unlikely there would be many of us – in fact it was me (yep you heard that right…) BigAl and Grandad…
After a pretty good run up to shepshed where we were welcomed with what felt like open arms by everyone from the turnstiles to the golden goals and program sellers to the barstaff – It think its fair to say this is up there with one of the friendliest grounds I’ve visited.
Overall it wasnt a bad performance from us, despite going a goal down we dominated the 2nd half with chances for Brathwaite and Clemo but we couldn’t find that equaliser 😬
We didn’t hang around after the final whistle – I retreated to under my jacket and the next thing I knew we were dropping some players at the services and it was 10 minutes past 12!! apparently the M1 was shut and we’d had hideous diversions..
Another fantastic game in goal for Timmy Smith!
Me BigAl and Chelseaboy unfortunately miss next weekend’s trip to East Thurrock in favour of meeting up with the Millwall crew in Lanzarote😎
