Good and bad at all clubs, just a shame when you meet the bad!! I'm just greatful to Del one of the regulars on the col U board. When we beat them 3-0 at Layer rd "even Che Wilson Scored!" i'd missed out on a ticket, even though I had a season ticket, as did my daughter. Didn't know the guy, never met, but he bought 2 tickets for Em and I and we watched the game from the main stand. MAtt Hudson, their marketing guy came and said hi before the game, as Del is a mate of his, Em and I had even got into their Corner Bar before the game for a pint, and I'd flashed the enamel Shrimpers badge that's been with me since '77!!! (after the third went in the guy sitting next to me says "take it you're not supporting Col U?" "No" says I, "'Scuse me, I've gotta go under the stand, I've got a loud cheer to let out" He laugh's and I go below the main stand whee the passageway is to the mixed bogs, and let rip! Col U fans look even more ****ed off, and loads of laughter from fellow Blues, when I explain the background!
After the game about a dozen or so Blues fans were sitting in their main stand, as there were a lot of knowing nods and winks amongst several of us there, making our way down to pitchside, to the bemused looks of some of the players, as we applauded them off, colours now revealed. Happy Days! Lets hope we christen Cuckoo farm in a similar veign to two seasons ago, eh people!
