Knackered. Yesterday we all trudged off to Clapton (the ref went to Clacton by mistake I suppose and he turned up late). I've not been there for many years, when GeorgeBorg was just a pup in fact! The place hasn't changed that much and it still reminds me in places of Leyton FC but with one minor difference. You can stand behind the goals.
Town won 3-0 but not without a little worry in the first half. The funniest thing about Clapton was their groundsman/trainer, who spent most of the pre match nailing down and taping up the nets with black tape. Couldn't understand a word he was saying though. Food was ok though the pitch was a bog at one end.
Finally the clubhouse. Wasn't too thrilled at drinking beer out of plastic pints, but the staff were ok to talk to and I do believe their keeper won two prizes in a raffle after the game too.
