Just back from Donny match

[Irish_Shrimper]

Hi all - just back from an excellent weekend in Essex! Fantastic result on Saturday after 2 poxy goals from them - great comeback and a great 3 points in the bag :)

Popped in for a quick drink with the missus at the spread before the match and it was nice meeting those of you that i met out the back - sorry i had to leave so quickly but she really wanted to catch journey south, and i was a bit embarrassed about it...obviously :D Upon hearing them ruin let it be by the beatles - we vowed never to sit through that kind of rubbish again!

As i said - really enjoyed the game - as im sure was evident with the irish flag waving every time southend did something good! - and it was a nice change not having poles in the way! Decided to go for east blacks this time over my usual west seats - and was a great view - lot more people criticising rather than encouraging the team in the east i noticed tho :thump:

Anyways - after the final agonising 5 minutes of injury time i waited around hoping to meet some of the players. Steve Collis came out and was a true gentleman - stopped for a quick chat with me and got a photo too (see below) - he wished me a safe trip home and it really made my day to meet him. Then just as i was about to hit the road - kev maher came walking out and again was absolutely fantastic in stopping for a chat - turns out he has family just up the road from where i live over here! He said he saw the flag during the game and seemed really happy about it - we got a photo together but much to my dismay the bloody thing didnt come out :rolleyes:

All in all a great trip and even better to see the boys get 3 points (havent seen them win in 5 trips over before this weekend!) Will be back in November for Cheltenham probably when we have overtaken those orient c***s :D

Glad you had a good weekend. Just wish the game was a bit better for ya. Gotta be the most dull 3-2 i've seen since Brighton away.

Oh and good on ya for going up and approaching the players. I once saw Flavs standing next to me at the Services after Leeds away last season but didnt approach him. Not sure what the players will be like after defeat and i'd have lost my place in a very long Burger King queue lol.

Left my car keys at the Spread by mistake on Sat:thump: and went back to collect them after the game.Luckily they had been handed in (sincere thanks whoever found them on the small marquee floor) so grabbed a jar then popped back past the club shop only to see LEEEEEON sitting on the wall.Didn't have the heart to tell him he had a bad game and to check his studs;)
