The usual mixture of drunken youngters, kids with their dads and quite a few OAPs.

I was thinking a few with hangovers...some sensible middle aged DMR types, and blokes who drove taxis last night, so had a couple at lunch time.

Ah now I fit in.  I'll be one with a hangover.

Supposed to stop raining mid afternoon, and forecast for tomorrow is decent, so unless there's a ref looking at it now, should be OK.

Stadium/pitch looks fine in this video...



This really made me chuckle, don't know why! Aside from the Stratton Bank (which is far too steep a la away end at Gillingham), it's pretty spot on! Fast forward to 2 mins 4 seconds for a behind the scenes look at the changing rooms! haha

*Edit* could this be a way of finding the much debated second concourse in the Don Rogers?!

I think the groundsman is confident due to the drainage system the club put in 5-6 years ago.

It'll be funny if they still water the pitch before the game after all the rain we've had.

With 4 of the 5 teams above us playing eachother tomorrow there is a chance to narrow the gap.

Its was this tim last year we started on that stunning run that took us to league glory.  We can do the same again and start tomorrow!

COME ON YOU REDS!
