An All action Adventure starring the King,the Beast,The Fighter,Man whore and the .. someone think of a name and pm me it.
After a turbulent week of transport problems, unanswered phones and call offs it was left to the Infamous five to journey to the snob capital of North Yorkshire in a lets thrash the arse off it hire car.The dog was tied to the back of the car to get some exercise and off we went or didn't as it happens.Bloody new cars and security features.Holding down pedals to start a car,What is that all about?Comfort breaks were taken with the engine running until the start procedure was sussed out later in the day.
The Journey was a talkative one with Man whore in his usual Saturday morning bedraggled state after a night on his usual tipple and a night on the bush that will possible ruin a beautiful friendship.The king was on the argument juice that we are all banned from(Caffreys for those that don't know) that he was given as a reward for some whistle duties.
The Fighter was recounting tales of house parties and Road brawls.
The journey up was non descript, A17 taking forever,A1 dull as usual but the Man whore pointed out where the bridges,golf courses and mines were but no trees on hills this time!Weatherby looks posh as fuck and we should of asked someone the way to K-Naresborogh in the way i have just spelt it.
Jibber alert sounded as soon as we spotted the ground (we also got there far too early but it did mean a prime parking space that we could use for a quick exit after the game).Quality Jibbing then followed and entry was secured for most of the car that meant more beer tokens in the pocket.
The ground was tidy but nothing special with the clubhouse in an old school prefab style showing a war movie in the function room.Blue Max for those into their war films, the Beast did give me the cast but it has left my memory now.
The Game
There are no positives to gleam from the game except for the acceptance that we are miles away from challenging for any sort of honours.
Harrogate were fitter,stronger,kept and used the ball better,defended strongly and allowed us no time on the ball.It didn't help that Frew was the lone striker and couldn't control the ball let alone pass it.
JJ as a striker?
Harrogate ran the game the way they wanted too for the whole game and looked comfortable all of the time.They simply brushed off Weaver and then Crane for goals one and three.Goals two and four were good finishes from 15 yards by players given far too much space to shoot.We did create a few chances but they were when the game was over at 3-0.
High point of the day was getting back into Kings Lynn at 7.15 after flying home (2hrs travelling 15 mins of stops)
