So today/tonight I went to the posh game against Crystal Palace which was live on tv, I arrived about 2 hours and a half before kick off to get some autographs, I got most of the Posh players on the programme and also managed to get Darragh Macanthony (Posh's chairman) who seemed happy as usual, when the Crystal Palace's team bus came, I was hoping to get Darren Ambrose, Freddie Sears and Neil Warnock, Freddie and Darren went straight through but Neil was nice enough to sign for the 200 or so who were waiting for him, including a lot of Palace fans, I met a Palace fan and we got talking, he was a nice bloke and gave me his gamertag lol for COD5, anyway, Neil signed my two photos.
The game itself was shown live on Sky Sports, It was an entertaining game where there was some chances for both sides, the atmosphere was amazing from the start, and it got better when we took the lead from Shaun Batt's great run, but it wasn't long until Palace equalised from Alan Lee, what a scruffy goal, after they got a man sent off and we had a chance late on but it finished 1-1, we're now 21st and out of the relegation zone.
So after the match, I quickly went to the players entrance and waited for the players to come, I met my friend who's also a keen collector, we talked a bit and he was nice enough to give me his pen when mine ran out, the first to come out was Darren Ambrose who signed both my pictures, then Freddie Sears who signed my two photos as well, he looks really young, well maybe because he is, then I got a few of the posh players to sign my photos, Finally when all the players had finished signing, I waited for Darren Ferguson and maybe get another from Neil Warnock, funnily enough Neil came out with Barry Fry, they were talking and Barry said, 'The thing with referees is they're all the same' Neil said 'Yer what?' 'They're all f***ing rubbish' everyone laughed. They both signed my programme. Now for Fergie, I was talking with my friend when he said, 'That's John Motson' and indeed it was, It was so weird talking to him because I'd heard his voice so often, He kindly signed my programme, so now my friend had gone, about 2/3 minutes later Fergie came out and signed my two photos.
A nice day of collecting
I would post photos but my phone is broke, well it works, but the screen is black and you can't see a thing. I'll try and get photos somehow.
Cheers for reading.
