Yesterday’s match was a rarity for me: a pre-season game that looked to have something approaching an actual atmosphere.
I wasn’t overly fussed about the Lads’ North American tour.
I’m pleased it all went well but sinking $25 Michelob Lights with a side of grits in the PricewaterhouseCoopers THUNDERDOME isn’t my idea of fun. Knocking the froth off a few Saint-Omers in glorious sunshine, however? Yes, please.
