AAAAH! Almost Forgot! Sense of Humour found at NP!

One for the Shaolin!
Whoops, in the excitement of only losing by a single goal at home, we almost forgot to mention the high point of our latest defeat at Fortress Non Park.  Some people might think the best things so far about our life in exile has been the Chinese / Italian cuisine (can't say - haven't tried them).  Or the new shirts, which to be honest look quite good, and we know from our players that they come in larger sizes (haven't bought one).  Or the 21st Century toilet facilities, where, curiously we went from 19th Century facilities at Rocky Road (the scary toilet at the corner of Britannia Road and Cowper Street could easily be older)  to 21st Century ones at Non Park, completely missing out the 20th Century completely!

For me the best experience of our new lives in a new Borough came 5 minutes before the kick-off against Kiddy last Saturday.  Given that our previous game had ended in a full-on bout of fisticuffs between our main strikers, I've got to say whoever thought of spinning "The Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky III on our new turntable has the kind of sense of humour much admired at PATGOD! 

Of course, this was immediately ruined by the choice of former Direone song "Hey Ho Silver Lining" (Note to Club - remove instantly and burn) and whatever dirge it is we have to suffer through when the teams are about to kick off.  You know the one.  Part "Fanfare for the Common Man", part Funeral March and part Albanian National Anthem, and totally awful.  Another one for the fire.
