The hallowed tundra of St James Park... Oh we had waited a long time for this one, and finally the day dawned for us to moonwalk in Michael Jackson’s footsteps. Unfortunately for us, even Uri Geller's buried crystals couldn't stop the Hallowed Turf being deemed unplayable by the Nitwit from the FA. The match was cancelled throwing our Championship hopes into Disarray.
But 'Play On!' shouted heroic Chris the Bar Man, who frantically Flyered the city centre on our behalf. The Match was off, but the post match entertainment was still on. That's right, that's us!
And what a night! Tone army regulars had some cracking support from the 'City hardcore, with the select but enthusiastic crowd falling some way short of the anticipated 3,000 home crowd in number but not commitment. We played a blinder, a classic contained first half performance with a stalwart second half. Under Samuel's captaincy, Williams shone as ever with flourish and aplomb. The back line didn’t put a foot wrong. The inevitable late hat trick of Jean Genie, Chelsea Dagger and Purple Rain, we dug in for a good half hour of extra time, and having trounced all comers, and defied all expectations, we're well up for the return leg in the new year! We'll be back!
Love ya, and Love City Too!
