That was one of my early games too. My dad's best mate had got me a ticket for Christmas and he'd wrapped it up in a huge weirdly shaped package, took me ages to unwrap it down to a small envelope and find the ticket. I was over the moon with it, I'd been before but always on a season ticket so you just handed over the voucher, I'd never had a proper ticket of my own. I miss that excitement.

Champion.

Wew, pipe down young'un.

Suits me actually, I need to go to the shop and this gave me time since I've been putting it off.

+ My first experience of football heartbreak when he left.

Always love that one.

Horrific.

Convincing myself of a 10 now. I can't be arsed with having any hope.

The music.

Definitely the creepiest introduction of the day.

I'll never stop finding that statement funny. Remember when that was the most embarrassing thing our chairman did? Halcyon fucking days eh.

I'll never stop finding that statement funny.

I might go.

I've read through the thread and I feel like I haven't missed much by not following this match.

I still find the whole thing so terribly sad.

I spoke briefly yesterday to a class older lady who felt very strongly about boycotting, it was just in passing but wish I'd been able to chat with her longer.

Could've warned me to hold my belly in.

Haha good spot on the shoes.

Would appreciate a pickup from Gateshead.

Bye.

Good thing I'm just watching this to warm up for my AA meeting in a bit.

Surely you've just made those names up. They are legit members of the Northern Football Alliance Team Valley Carpets 2nd Division.

I'm fairly confident that in a few hours time the footballing highlight of my day will still be Burradon FC beating Cramlington United.

Utter dross. Missed the penalty fiasco as I had to pop out just before the end of the game but it sounds like it sums everything up. Shite players, no drive, no clue.
