Cambridge Cities new ground.
I went to the Grays match yesterday, im seriously impressed, it has a big ground feel, with a full house it will be cracking. Im impressed they put in a grass pitch, there is no alternative, grass is best.
The main stand seats are excellent, im 5 foot 10, and at the Abbey my knees would dig into the persons back in front of me if i didnt part them. Back then, they crammed seats in with no thought for comfort, not so at Citys ground, plenty of knee room.
On the approach its like Forest Greens ground, almost the same with a the stand to the left and the rest terracing but smaller.
I had a burger, plenty of chips, but the burger was a sandwich, nearly a tenner, it is Cambridge isnt it. Had a coffee in the bar, the coffee was undrinkable its to bitter, usually its to weak, cant win, it takes time to do it properly. Was it instant?,
The toilets are disgusting, they are everywhere, Uniteds are a bog.....except Wisbech, soap and warm water there.
The attendance was 560 odd, there were a lot of Grays fans for some reason, some very vocal.....are you another Tibury, god knows what that meant, it was meant as an insult......and is this a library?.....
City fans did break out in a chant in the second half.
It was a good win, Grays had some good approach work, City held a lead. Will i go again,?, yes, i see myself as a Lillywhite now. It will be treat rather than a regular, its a 60 mile round trip.
I watched a video on Peter Osgood last night and his clashes with Dave ***ton, Osgood saw football as an art, as i do, ***ton was a technical coach only interested in winning.
At the expense of players like Osgood, and in modern times, teams have no Osgoods, Marradonnas, Curries, that french midfielder wotsisname, a million others. Teams now only want to pass the ball into the net, thats it.
Every game is the same. The modern game stinks. And ive just got in from walking madam, and womens football is on, Everton v Man city, im going mad.
Do it all again.
Its not about having different jangly bits, its about money, filling air time. Surely there will come a time when football ends, everything comes and goes, especially when its crap.
