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.
