Pub in Edinburgh, getting in nice and early a) to calm nerves and b) maximum opportunity to persuade the staff to put the commentary on.

Being an ifollow subscriber since the days of commentary only,really p@#sed off that it's not available. However just had a delivery from amazon that will make both legs available. Got quite a few locals coming round for it ad they follow our results now and can't believe we've got into the play offs. If the weather's good,projecting it on the wall outside on the terrace. I might even get some beer and wine in.

But don't worry. Lucky pint is open. Honey nuts all swept away, biff mags washed down and Peebles has sobered up enough to remember how to pour a beer!

Front room for me - slipped and fell in the shower a week Friday ago. The wife had to call me an ambulance because I was lodged in stuck & ribs still sore so took the decision not to get a ticket for Gresty Road. Going Friday night though & hopefully one more after that.

Just to quickly report on the gathering in the Stow on the Wold social club.
Myself and DrfcMach2man met up with BobG, who is a thoroughly nice bloke, and got the front row seats.
By half time we had converted the locals in there into Rovers fans and educated them with all things Rovers.
A great night was had by all.

Great story. Friendships for life made. The magic of football.
As an Irish fan, I've made some great friends through similar exchanges over the years. Lads getting me ticket etc. enjoy the pints and hope to see you at the reunion at wemberley
