Eastleigh at home Saturday

Quoted from MarinerRob

Should be my first game of the season. I am a season ticket holder but live 220 miles away. Wife still very worried about Covid so she was reluctant for me to go up to now.

If I go I will have to sleep in the spare room when I get home until I get a clear covid result. She is probably sensible if a little over the top.

That's what I will be doing. Also, I normally get the train from Kings Cross but that means crossing London on the Tube but to avoid the crowds I will drive to Peterborough and get a train from there where, hopefully, I will be able t keep some distance between me.

Also, at the ground toilets breaks will have to be during the game, no going at half time with the congestion in there.

I know that but I have other reasons to be there, so will get one while I'm down there.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

I've mentioned the Lincoln habits from their title season a couple of times - good to see we're getting one of them - late goals. Another one is consistently putting away the weaker opposition something we failed to do last time at this level. We are ahead of the game already against the big six, we must do the business against the bottom half to make sure we don't waste that bit edge we already have.

I worked at Lincoln quite a lot during their promotion season. I was there when Arnold scored against Ipswich which was a surreal moment for me given what he had done for us a few months earlier.

The situation we find ourselves in right now feels very similar to how Sincil Bank felt as that season progressed in that everybody felt part of something special.

Bonus!

You have to do what is right for and your family and be comfortable with it.

Got one on back order.


I can get into the fanzone this morning, unlike last night.

I was thinking about the possible parallels with Lincoln that year too (and funnily enough had some minor involvement with Lincoln that season myself too). Mainly around the crowds and momentum built up.
Once they got some results and big crowds, it just snowballed didn't it. They carried on getting results and maintained their good crowds all season. We've started in a similar vein and there's a buzz around the place and a togetherness like Lincoln had that season.

Hoping we can sustain it. And that when we inevitably hit a bump in the road and suffer a defeat, it doesn't derail the momentum and crowd numbers.

Oh dear Rob. Thin edge of the wedge that is - I reckon you'l be lucky to be let back into the boudoir now.

There's a special socially distanced section in the Main Stand for those that still fearful of covid Rob. Why don't you speak to the club about your predicament and see if can get moved into there?
