Melancholy day.

Well its the last home game for Notts ,could they win to secure the championship or would they stumble at the penultimate hurdle?The Genghis Khan society are here in force,David and Keith are down from the north,Pete is here of course and Nicola has arrived from the east.We even have celebs,Brian Close on the Commitee balcony and Dickie Bird calling for a helicoptor to get him upto the top of the Radcliffe Road stand.
By the last day the Grumblers think Notts have no chance and I am the only one who think we can still win even Dave Fulton and the Sky Sports boys have gone home.
Anyway it was not to be, the match finishes early so we miss the Victoria sponge and as we troop out of the ground for the last time to mutterings about Readys tactics and a lack of a third man, Pete and Nicola go off to buy teabags while I plan my trip to Old Trafford.

Soaked and Soggy

Oops here's some more pictures from last Thursday - a sharp downpour over lunch when we were inside resulted in a soggy Telegraph for Rob, seen here drying out (the paper that is).



Dark Clouds over the Ground and a shot of Peter's favourite stand with that pesky roof line that blocks the view ......

The Last Match for Nicola - Thursday 9th September



The view to my left ......



The view on the field




The view to my right




Ah another one of the players


The melancholy mood set by the last days of my lidos is now echoed in my last (well I've only had 3 in total) visit to the Cricket at Trent Bridge. BUT - I always seem to bring the sun with me and here we were again, basking in the rays - lovely. But not so great score for Nottinghamshire - shame. Let's hope Rob visiting Old Trafford on Wednesday will bring some luck and pull a win in. Oooh and I had soooo wanted to see Yawkshire beaten!

Nice lunch as ever but yet again NO VICTORIA SPONGE CAKE!

eehhh it's just bad Technique!
