First Stockton home game in a long time for me this evening, in fact don"t think I"ve played one since before APAT Glasgow.. so must be coming up 2 months?.. our usual haunt of Rileys in Stockton is now shut (one of around 27 gone nationwide apparently.. sad times) so we"re at the G by the looks which is all good apart from we can"t bring in our own homemade alcohol (Gary Palmer has his latest of batch of bramble brandy ready), there"s no jukebox (not a bad thing depending on whether Stu or Gary Motson has put money into it), there"s no 2 quid a pint, and being in the casino there"s the ever temptation of black jack / roulette / cash table after the inevitable bust out from the home game
Beer will be had in abundance though, theres a rumour that england shirts are required to be worn and medals to be used as chip guards (oops Stu).. a little celebration for the home internationals result, just missing JB and Paulie.. but we"ll have some for them as well. Happy days x
