For those going to match

**Cosmo** · 07/09/2005, 9:18 AM

Whats everyone at today?

Will it be like an away match beforehand or what do people reckon?

Contemplating on taking a half day but might do with leaving work at 4 and being around lansdown at 415.

Usually its quiet enough around 4 and thus we usually have to get a pint before hitting the tinnies.

Plan to pass on the pint today and just get a rake of tinnies and start buzzing around Murrays from just after 4. Do people reckon it will be buzzing by then? (i reckon it should be buzzing a bit by 4 but a couple of my mates thin different!!)

So what do people reckon?

Btw cant wait for it now - cant concentrate at work at all!!!!

Just thinking why am i starting this thread - really getting excited, not making any sense, jaysus im like a big child, defo feel like one today

Work is a write off today & I'm not even going. I've a half day booked and from later this afternoon onwards I'm just going to walk around London in my green shirt because I feel like it.

Everyone here is talking about The Ashes & nobody has any idea of the excitement in my mind!

On my way into town today didnt see many people wearing any green a bit disappointed really i thought even this morning town would be buzzing actually seen more french jerseys around.

Well anyone lucky enough to go to the match enjoy it do us proud and give it loads.

Taking a half day, getting a bite to eat with a few mates up for the match.
Then a casual stroll with a few pub stops until we reach the ground and into Murrays, plan to be there about 4ish for a bit of pre-match warm-up.
Bit of a buzz building.

I'll be selling Genesis Reporters there if anybody fancies a pre-match read (PLUG-PLUG) or if anyone wants to just say hello!
