[Target man]

Or a pitch invasion or two.........

I thought you'd stopped that streaking business ....

You're never too old to embrace nature, shame I'm not going.

I dare say there will be a minute silence before the game to mark the shocking death of a 14 year old in Gateshead on Friday. I’m confident Blues fans will uphold that reputation during that.

Let’s hope so.

Excitement for a winner takes all game.
Large travelling support for a long way away.
Not a court case, winding up order, non payment of staff players in sight.
We used to be happy if we had three subs.
It was a sigh of relief if people got paid.
Tomorrow is just football. Its so refreshing and dare I say normal.

My son, @OverseasshrimperJr is waiting on his application process to be completed to go into the Royal Marines. He also plays rugby, so was overjoyed at that result. His dream is to play in games like this.

I think our support this season has really been awesome. And is sometimes overlooked.
Tomorrow is a massive day for our club and I would like to give a big thank you for making the long journey to Gateshead.
Whatever the result is you are all a credit to the club. COYB’s ️

Tomorrow's line up

I was there, but we lost!!!

Does make a change though for you guys @Dazzaref. Needless to say it was joy in abundance at the final whistle. Oh it it wasn't too back in the Sun Inn post match either. All the Army guys we talked to took it well and as always a great day.

I hope it's a similar feeling post match tomorrow too at Gateshead!

Tomorrow's line up

I'd go with that, unless there is something the coaching/scouting team have seen about the Heed, that we haven't.

However, having watched them in the Boston game, I'd say this would be perfect to press them into errors at the back when we are out of possession and a good balanced set up when we are in possession. Also it means Bonne, Parrilon and Walker can come on and exploit tiring limbs later on and Cav to strengthen us up at the back in the latter stages..

Why oh why must this game fall on a Bank Holiday Monday when it's just a usual start to the week here in Alberta. Game starts at 8am, might have to pull the old "Car won't start" routine and rock up just as 9:55 rolls round.
