Errrr... Bombed as in "Fat English Comedian off a High Diving Board", or Bombed as in "Explosive Device"?

Ah right Mark Rubin

I'm at Sixth Form with his son now.

Bombed as in "Explosive Device".

An bomb allegedly planted by ETA went off in a hotel in Denia this afternoon; I live just a few miles away. We heard about it whilst at the Jávea v Benigamin match this afternoon (which we won). One slight injury. The Spanish government is about to debate a proposal for self-rule for the Basque region - virtual independance - but it's almost certainly going to be rejected. So ETA seem to be making a statement. Maybe we're next. What fun, eh?

Mike,

The short (and not terribly accurate!) answer to that is: loads.  There were more kids at the ground yesterday than I remember seeing in a very long time.

Bearing in mind that Darlo brought a woefully small number with them - no more than 200 I'd say - then you've got to reckon on there having been somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 more fans there on Saturday than there are normally.  And that's down to the commercial department - so a huge gold star for them.

As for the game itself... well, as others have said, if they don't come back after that, they never will.  End to end, high quality - that & the Swansea game are the best we've played all season... and Bentley's goal was a peach.

And that Fredy... he's a bit special.  He turned the game on its head.  I reckon we were heading for 0-0 until he came off the bench...

A top, top afternoon.  Well, that's game one out of five in the month of truth safely behind us.  Here's hoping for more success in the subsequent games...

and what about the chips?

Considering, for instance, that we only took about 400 odd to Mansfield and that's about halfway to Darlington, I wouldn't be too critical!

Yeah, that was pretty weird... Brian Dear was well out of order, and I was pretty cross about it by the time I got home - I am still intending to drop Mr. King an e-mail to ask him to speak to his staff and tell them:

(a) not to pick up fag-ends of conversations (given that I wasn't complaining about an absence of chips, but instead asking a genuine question to that steward about why chips aren't served at grounds); and

(b) even if I were complaining (which I wasn't), being told to "f**k off and get a life" is not something one ought to be told by a senior member of SUFC staff on a family bonanza day, of all days.

Well, sounds like a bit of an own goal there. Personally, I will be contacting the SUFC commercial dept. to 'big them up' as previosly posted, took 4 kids (2 mine & 2 mates of) & they were completely won over-need I say anymore. -The 2 mates were both Arsenal supporters, but................. now..............well.......you never know, seemed pretty loud joining with the Sea......sea..seasiders...well..you never know-kids snatched from the clutches of Sky?
