And Now...The End is Near.....

Well. A footballing weekend beckons. Today, my dearest and I are off to Boundary Park to watch Oldham play QPR in the first of the 2nd Division play-off semi-finals. Should be a laugh as we’re going with the Sunday afternoon drinking club. Meeting int’t’Willow at 1:00pm for pre-match alcohol.

Then tomorrow: the big one ! The last ever match at Maine Road. Apparently there’s going to be a parade of legends before the game and a concert after it. Considering the concert is by a Blues Brothers tribute band and The Doves, I think I’ll give that part of the festivities a miss. I shall take a quiet moment to reflect on nearly 40 years experience of the ground.

I might even shed a tear or two.
