So where has this post been I hear nobody ask? Well it’s been a hectic few weeks and the game was something of a washout. I mean that quite literally.
So having rang Yeovil in the week to organise some tickets where I have to say they were super helpful (as most ticket offices are to be fair) and having stumped up the quid for the two tickets. Their children’s tickets were so cheap (and for those not aware once you get to sort of national league level, you pay for the disabled space and a carer goes free, lower then that I normally pay for a ticket for me and JJ is free. We were really looking forward to the game.
An earlier then normal start prevailed. My wife needed us out for a story then I’ll come back to one day. So by 9am we were on our way fully expecting to be in Yeovil by 11/11.30. Within 30 mins of departure the rain started and well pretty much didn’t stop for the entire journey. With time on our heads we checked out the ground location then head down town for some lunch.
Yeovil didn’t appear to have loads going on but the incessant rain was making me pretty miserable. JJ has some amazing covers for his wheelchair so was bone dry. I grabbed a sandwich and we headed back to the car to eat.
Finally the rain broke and we headed to the ground, we got there about 10 mins after they announced it had been called off. So that was it and the enthusiasm for the day was gone. Still the two of us had had a good giggle and drove home having a good old sing song
Initially I had made contact with the clubs Disabled supporters association who finally came back to me on the Monday after the game. They were very apologetic and offered free parking for the rearranged game amongst other things. Sadly we couldn’t make the game and worse still Yeovil were hammered so we never got inside Huish Park. Maybe one day we will end up back there.
The draw for the 2nd round meant once the replays were completed we knew we would be off to Exeter to see them play Hartlepool and what will be our last game of 2019.
