The Opponent: The Weather
Let’s face it. Chances of this game going ahead are pretty slim, despite the likely assurances that no pitch inspection is planned. Now I fully appreciate the back garden is not quite the CG playing surface, far from, but it does seem to be getting closer to Peatmoor lagoon with every drop of rain that falls. On this basis, I will save the dazzling trivia for another time. If you plan on calling the game of Mr/Mrs Official then let’s do it as early as possible, at least the pre-booked Towie Cabs Taxi bringing all of their travelling support down will have plenty of time to make other arrangements.
Anyway, instead of my bullshit, enjoy this link –

“It is a decision that has angered many Colchester supporters, including, Ray Orman of Hadleigh, who e-mailed the East Anglian Daily Times to air his own frustrations, and those of many other fellow U’s fans.
Mr Orman wrote: ‘There are a few of us quite upset at the moment. How can Swindon be allowed to move this fixture to Friday at such short notice?
‘There is a fair group of Col U fans who travel to away games on Advance rail tickets. These are now completely worthless and not refundable. The only way we can go on Friday now is at full fare.”Weather or Not? – Seriously?
Where the opposition gather – http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/colchesterunited/forum/102600/swindon/#12Last 6 – WLDWWL (14th on 34 points)
They have served us both – Will Dixon, Michael Rose. Lloyd Opara, Johnnie Jackson, Mark Yeates, Jordan Pavett, David Prutton, Roy Bicknell, Jamie Cureton, Tony Thorpe, Ray Bunkell, Ian Culverhouse, Richard McKinney
The Odds - Swindon 4/5 Draw 11/4 Colchester 4/1 Seems a decent price for the away team.
The Son Says – We will win 1-0, once I convinced him his wobbly tooth will still be wobbly in the morning.
The Prediction – P-P But should it get the go ahead, we will win 2-1, goals from N’Guessan and Barker in front of 6’898, 99 from Essex.
And Finally – Keep safe one and all, the next 24-36 hours is looking pretty miserable.
