Kettering (a) - Monday 5th May

[Ian]

The problem on Tuesday was Sue turning up with the balloons 5 minutes before the players came out! Honestly, Sue, what were you thinking??! As we are all planning on being in the ground early on Monday there's plenty of time for us to be fully inflated!!

 

Just a reminder, Kettering are saying gates open at 2pm but I suspect queues will form before that.

[Sue]

Ha ha Sorry Ian, blame Anil for turning up late !!

 

I have six bags of party popper's, and will try and get some balloon's at the weekend. Kay, I did get a balloon pump in Asda but it was only a £1 so not sure it will last !!

 

I think we should stick with Blue and yellow balloon's like we did at Rugby but if anyone thinks different let me know, as hoping to get some at the weekend. Will also look at getting anything that makes a noise.

 

As Jon said in the Observer today "The supporters were fantastic. They travelled in numbers, they were in great voice and we really appreciate that. It really helped us in the second half".

 

So dont think anyone is going to rest we need to do the same again on Monday. Warren if you think I moaned on Tuesday you aint seen nothing yet ask Aidan.

Sue, if we're playing in purple then maybe purple balloons etc might be more appropriate?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Perhaps a mix of all 3 colours?

I have some balloon pumps which I will try and remember on Monday. It will be harder on Monday as we will be out in the open so will need the extra voices. Please do join in if you can. Every voice will help.

[Mr Rebel]

key will  be getting the loudest voices together and making sure as many slough fans are congregated together. i am sure plenty will join in there was definitely a lot of people joining in on Tuesday so as long as people are stood with the chant leaders noise will be loud

[SloughRebelBoy]

So, im thinking of driving up early Monday. If I were to get there between 12-12.30, should I be ok parking / getting in etc...

 

Wonder how early the queue to get into the turnstyles will start...

[Rebel Kay]

Bar is open from 12.  Additional parking is hopefully being arranged.

 

When the shops have sold out of yellow and blue balloons. buy purple!

 

Starting to get excited now

Totally unrelated, except it's Rebels, but felt the need to post this....

 

[Edinburgh Rebel]

Buzzing for this game already. I've taken off work on Monday to listen to the game via Rebels Radio as the match starts at 10am here in the US. I waited until the evening to listen to the Rugby game, but my nerves are too shot to make it through the whole workday on Monday.

 

Looks like it will be an interesting day.....

 

I haven't listened to a whole game on Rebels Radio before but hopefully I'll be able to on Monday.  Should be a pretty nerve-wracking match to listen to.

[GarySTFC]

Ahhh, wilkos goal. My favourite rebels moment ever.

 

Vocally recreated on Tuesday night!!

 

Monday, I'll be head and shoulder above the rest. Gather round singers, I'll be in early and taking up position. No qualms if I'm not near the front, but please get in together and save me rounding everyone up together as I had to do in the second half on Tuesday.

[GarySTFC]

Kettering have posted an update on their website. Local parking agreements have been put in place and turnstiles now opening at 1.30pm

Best idea is to make a day of it   get up nice and early, and get yourselves a spot.. that way there is no concern about not getting in:

We are telling all our families and friends to aim for 1.30pm as no doubt there will be a queue at that stage anyway!!!

 

Will be great to see fantastic numbers, and I know the lads will really appreciate it, obviously a very tough game, but we will do all we can.

 

Come on you Rebels!!!!

[Rebel Sue]

Gary don't worry where ever you are we will be!

 

Neil tell all the families to come sing with us the more the merrier x x

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

hope we play in the away colours  i'm not superstitious but they have been very good for us this year. oh and don't forget your rabbits feet / lucky pants  etc, etc.

[Tristan_STFC]

Gutted I can't make this game but as with Edinburgh Rebel, the travel cost is too much. Over £100 from the Isle of Wight :/

[BFR]

I'm in

[RebelDelaney]

Sue  I know this is naughty but will you have any away shirts with you i will buy an away one large size thanks.

[Rebel Sue]

Not naughty at all will happily bring a large one with me tommorrow.

 

No Ian I don't mean a wine, but that sounds like a good idea as well !
