“Are you – and this is the most important –
wearing your lucky pants?”

(from ‘Reasons Why You Lost’ by Joe Williams)

ALWAYS JOE!

But when  it’s cold like tonight at FGR v Mansfield its the Lucky Long Johns..

Rave on Lucky Pants.

It’s weird to see it happening, especially when you consider the price of tickets at PL games. So much action often happens in the final 5 mins!

More thoughts on those leaving before the end of the game…and dead on the final whistle…

What really cracks me up is that fans set from home really early and often arrive sometimes an hour ot two hours before a game .They eat, drink and talk to mates or/and  watch an early Sky game, often only going to stand or to their seat minutes before the start.

‘Is This A Fire Drill?’ But come the end they’re off that second,  desperate to save time getting home.Sometimes it’s better to hang around meet up with mates again ..win or lose.. and wait for traffic to ease…

Just saying.

.

so true.Sharon..

.in our stand at Forest Green we don’t leave til the whole team and the manager come over.. but the exodus of those  desperate to beat the traffic in the main stand  is unbelievable..

verily, a take from the heart!

Yes indeed we have!

I’m just glad you weren’t among the “halftime and the crowd’s gone home”, but had pencil and paper, or notes on a phone, or just jotted – on a knotted hankie, whatever, that you stayed the course and added to the discourse!

Fantastic poem!

From a glass full point of view….

how many pools pundits have hollered “bingo” and toasted those nether regions as they discover that last intoxicating discovery of a matching score-draw!

😉

This one is from my book The Taking Part.  As you can probably tell, it’s a true story.

Thanks Sharon 🙂
