Just got back from the Hawks' Academy team's friendly with Reading. The club had really pulled out the stops urging people to come to this one, to the extent of making admission free. Not a bad game, Reading deservedly won 2-0 but then they are a Premiership side's academy. As I had Malc, Aly, Simon, Mark, Barry and Lisa all sitting very near me, and most of the Ladies' team were sitting in the next block, this evening turned out to be more about the banter in the stand than what was going on on the pitch in front of us. There was some discussion on Saturday's game, with all of us agreeing that Shaun Wilkinson had been the star performer. Mark observed how Malc and I represent "the extremes of the spectrum" in attitudes to Shaun, as I call him "Sergeant Wilko" and Malc calls him "that Judas bastard". Mark found time to perv over some of the Ladies' team, and Jenna D's arrival when she was called on as physio had several of the guys drooling. When I came back from saying hello to Jodie and Laura, freshly back from Spain, Barry said to me "We're relying on you to keep the girls in order."
"He's the one who sets them all off!" was Malc's reply.
Great chips from the tea-bar at half-time.
Malc tried to get me to come on the away trip to Maidenhead, saying I could pay my subs next month if I was short, but I had to explain that the cost of getting into the game and buying drinks are still out of my range. "I'd need 40 quid in all and I'm about 39 short." Cue amusement all round. He persuaded me to say I'd come on the trip to Welling on 20 October, but I've just had to text him pulling out, as October's another expensive month for me and a check with my diary revealed Fareham are at home to Alton that day.
