AFA Jaunt finishes at six
The AFA cup draw gave us the chance of another ‘Jolly'
to London to meet Nottsborough after the postponement the
previous week.
The day started badly when Michael 'Schumacher' Sanderson
decided to put the minibus through its paces. Daz 'you want
knocking out' Spencer and his assistant navigator Dave 'squaddie'
Edwards succeeded in giving the manager the slip in order
to obtain a bigger breakfast break for the lads somewhere
on the M40.
Chris 'I need a fag Col' Westerby finally caused a fog
across the A3 waiting for the team bus to arrive. Meanwhile
Martin 'of course I will go to Bristol with you Luv' Swannell
arrived first in Kingston but last at the ground with his
breakfast still on his chin.
The manager tried to discus team tactic amongst players
discussions of who was winning at cards, what digs Wrighty's
mate had booked, 'Keenan get some beers in' and shall we
get changed here afterwards in the bus or in Northampton.
Not only were the players completely lost on the field
of play, it continued in Northampton. Eventually Wrighty's
mate showed up to defuse a potential vital decision on where
and how do we get the terrible trio's to their digs.
First decision, something to eat - a curry, no AKO after
one Stella and out of control want a Burger. Burger that
I'm off for a curry thinks Colin. Just as I am enjoying
the poppadoms the phone goes mad. Were are we meeting. (Managers
thoughts Mobile phones! that maybe the answer if I can co-ordinate
on field activities like I did tonight from pub to pub,
we may get that win)
Schumacher informs me he got to bed at six. Now there's
a familiar number!
