1st game of the season - starting to get excited already....

[Jam_Man]

Normally I book the first two weeks of the kids holidays off but as we went to Florida in March and New York in June I only have enough holiday for a week this year, which is lucky as didnt even think about the season starting so early.

However that does mean I will be in the Lake District on Saturday morning so will have a 330 mile journey home, so hoping if I leave by about 7-30am we can be home in time for the game.

I had almost written it off a couple of weeks ago as the A13 was sheduled to be closed for the bridge work at Stanford-le-hope and that would have caused big delays coming to Southend and probably killed any chance I had of getting there. Thats luckily been postponed by the look of it.

So now I know I can get there I have to say despite the normal off the field chaos Im actually really looking forward to the first game.

Im not quite so excited. Will be on the Isle of Wight for the first game of the season, but my good lady has agreed to come home a day early so that me and my son dont miss the second game on the Saturday. A few more signings and i might get more excited, but at the mo can only see a season of sturggle, BUT, i will be there 100% behind the boys, just not first game!!

I'm off back to Australia tomorrow, so I'm gutted that I never got a game this time.

Will be listening to BP next Saturday night and hoping for a win.

ALWAYS excited for the first game. It usually lasts until about 3 minutes into the game...

Can't wait for it to start. Off to Roots Hall tonight to whet my appetite. Next Saturday can't come soon enough. Hopefully it will be nice weather, nothing better than the first game of the season in the sun with shorts on.

Because of my wifes selfish attitude , she insisted we book a holiday for us and the kids - I don't really even like them that much !

 

[Jai]

Bring on the inevitable 1-0 defeat.

Make sure you sit behind the goal that Plymouth are shooting at. That'd put anybody off scoring :raspberry:

They will be shooting at both goals. They swap ends at half time :winking:

As should you then! Borrow Johnny Stokes' shorty shorts and we're guarenteed 3 points.

One of my oldest friends is having his stag on the 3rd. Still debating whether or not I'll get to the game before heading up to London to be made skint.
