As the title says, first match this Friday. I know it is only a friendly but I am still looking forward to going to the Stoop, cheering on the team and taking in the atmosphere.
I have many good memories of the place with my friends and while last season may have not been our best , I did not mind as much as I would due to my other half's tragic breavement and the back and forth we made to India to get the two who survived back to the country and going to the Stoop again after i got back helped me.
We have many a good people supporting the club and we all want the best. I hope this coming season will be better and the first game always feels the start of another exciting journey with no idea what will happen. Will we win the league, get into Champions Cup, will we get to the final of the Challenge Cup, will we be flirting with relegation?
I am looking forward to finding out and there is nothing like the Stoop in the summer on a warm evening. Heck there is nothing like the Stoop on a Saturday December cold and raiiny European night, hoping for a last minute drop goal by Snapper or even the exciting Spring afternoon when we played an exciting match against Leciester and lost, only to beat them in the final!
Whatever happens, I cannot wait for it to start.
