Having just spoken with my daughter I can confirm the wedding is still going ahead despite my last minute efforts to hire a prozzie and have pictures taken of my soon to be son in law in a compromising position.
Stuck in Dubai. Hoping and praying that I can get a dodgy site to stream later.
Just watched Bozza's posting of videos from the last Goldstone game, which got me very emotional. Not because I undoubtedly stood with you that day Darren, but because I can't be there today.
I'm not there, stuck in Southend for a wedding, not a season ticket holder and skint. Ipswich away will be my first game.
Enjoy guys all who are in attendance today
For this reason, I got a phone call earlier from one of NSCs finest, to say "how would you like to go to the Amex today ?" .... Unfortunaltely I had to decline for a prior engagement, but I was nearly there !!!!
Add me to the list. I genuinely didn't think I'd be this emotional about missing it. I've not been to a home game in about 2 years (having been a Goldstone regular, Gillingham regular and Withdean STH previously + away games) but was there through the war.
We won. THAT is the important thing. The first game is big, but the mere fact there IS a first game or a club at all is HUGE.
