The most incredible thing about the match was.....

[Stonebridge Red]

The Freezing rain and Icy winds, its meant to be fecking Summer!

 

[Hannah]

How a proper football match should be.

[Stonebridge Red]

Agreed, but preferably in Winter so that we go to a match better prepared for it

[DA11]

Was bloody cold today. Left my coat in the car and as soon as I got into the groung it started raining. GGGrrrr.....

[Jeff]

Cold, wet and miserable. Just another 45 to go not including getting to the 4th round of the FA Cup and retaining the Trophy.

 

Bring them on.

[bsmith]

Win the league outright then? No need for play-offs?

[Red Neck]

First time I can remember the opening game of the season where it rained, usually it's glorious sunshine.

[Lord Horn]

Well I thought that the most incredible thing about the match was how much the lino running the tea stall/Club shop line in the second half resembled a badly mishapen bulldog that had swallowed a wasp! Can anyone tell a newbie like me what the full words to the Stonebridge Road song to the tune of 'Country Roads' words are?

 

Many thanks to one and all. Great day out despite the weather, the M25 and tourist traffic at Thetford! Oh and the crowded bar at half time that forced me to the tea stall queue.

[Harry J Allstars]

I remember Exeter a few years back being overcast, but not miserable like it was yesterday.

 

LH yesterady was perticulary bad due to the fact that they only had one Fosters pump working.

[Lord Horn]

Thanks Harry. Any idea what happened to the possibility of ex-Spandau frontmans brewery providing the odd cask or two?

[Lord Horn]

BTW Harry was that you running around with a professional looking camera round your neck pretending to be David Bailey?

So true

Now it seems queer

Always in time, but back of the line for beer

Standing cheek to cheek and toe to toe

This is the sound of my thirst

This is the sound

I've got a ticket for my free beer

But now I'm at the back again

Why do I find it hard to get my free drink

When I want the beer to be cold

I know this much is true

With a thrill in my head an a sandpaper tongue

Dissolve the nerves that have just begun

If I don't get one soon I think I'll burst

This is the sound of my thirst

This is the sound

Always slipping from my hands

Dropped my ticket on the floor

Get Nicole or Beckies attention

Oh I want that beer to be mine

Quality - well done Slarti... Maybe you have too much spare time on your hands?

I though it was me until you used the word "professional".

Tourists at Thetford? Was there a race meeting at Snetterton?

[rsheard]

The CEO is working on a plan for a mobile bar for use of away fans when we are segregated so we don't lose all that potential revenue. Perhaps we need a second mobile bar as a backup for the home fans as well?

No, just the usual bunch of misinformed Brits thinking that they'll have a great holiday in not so Great Yarmouth.

I always preferred Gorleston myself, the bars were far more friendly!

Good shot! The beer coolers packed up at exactly the wrong time, leaving only 1 draught pump working. Doesn't happen very often, I'm told. The issue for me is we didn't tell people what the problem was at the time, as far as I'm aware. We do seem to cope, normally, in the bar. There will be another bar person on duty from the next match onwards. It's getting late and I can't remember if I posted this info already on this forum, or the other. Oh well as long as the info is out there...
