Not really a cockle man myself

2 July 2014

Good Wednesday to you all. I hope you're having a great day. A Harley-Davidson has just driven down my road and was so loud and vibratey that it set off two car alarms. What a sensational start to the day, I think you'll all agree. Your London Diary here, in London, doing the diary.

Last week I was in the true capital, Grimsby, and popped in to the club shop (yes, Cleethorpes) to get a new car sticker. See, I sold my car a few months ago and about an hour after the purchase had been made and the seller was 30 miles down the M4, I realised that I had forgotten to take the GTFC sticker out of the back of the window and had in fact left the GTFC air freshener in there too. I was livid. I often wonder if he kept it in the window. I would love it if he did. I digress.

So I was in the shop buying a new sticker for my new window (of the car – stay with me) and there was very much an air of new school term about Blundell Park. A man was hosing the grass. Some youths dressed in 'youths kit' helped move boxes ready for the new term. People were buying the new uniform (new kit). I felt giddy and as a result, bought two stickers. Not sure what I'll use the other one for. I'll keep you informed, though, don't you worry.

The 'ladz' started pre-season training yesterday, which got me wondering whether they get nervous about coming back to work, especially the new kidz on the block. I would be proper nervous, but then I'm not a professional footballer: I'm a semi-pro at best. Looks like they're playing with balls already. Ha, great fun.

Tickets for Town's game next week against Cleethorpes (in Grimsby, lol) are on sale. It's cheap. It'll be fun. Get down and fill the Bradley.

Cook is back in Barrow and Alan will probably stay west and do the hour commute from Fleetwood to Morecambe. LATERS Y'ALL.
