I know I'm not the only one to have so far struggled to be enthusiastic about the coming season - it still seems like early Summer after all. Anyway, just like at Christmas time, with just one more sleep I'm suddenly in the mood.
Meeting time arranged with the usual ne'er do wells at Victoria before getting a train and a nice cup of tea, or something else, at the Snooty Fox before all the glitz and glamour of the Isthmian South and the Jubilee Field.

With the BBC having to scrimp and save in the next few years, Radio Guernsey is doing its bit by recruiting Mr Media Tart himself to do the commentary on tomorrow's match. Think you need to travel by train with us for this one Matt so we can ensure you arrive in tip top shape just like at Spalding, which seems so long ago now.
Craig the Peg will be filming the game using his very big phone and streaming to the world. He's using a different service provider than last year and the quality does seem a lot better (we might have to give Craig a couple of settlers before the game to reduce the camera wobble though).

Worth running alongside Mr T's commentary.

Allez les Verts!!
A sausage, a wrap and a mild mannered janitor.
