I hadn’t been too fussed with the preseason games, but must confess that reports from the Everton friendly as well as a mate forcing the issue by getting me a ticket has severely whetted my appetite to be back at the City Ground on this fine evening.
Sitting on the bank of the Trent, it’s great to be back amongst Reds after a long summer, and a sizeable crowd of Mackems too who are in good humour! I could have perhaps done without the hirsuite charity collector wearing a “mankini” though!
It’s around an hour ’til kick off and despite earlier cynicism I might’ve expressed around friendlies – particularly the cost of them – had left me feeling it’s actually £12 well spent. Aye, it is most certainly good to be back!
I may review this positivity depending on the performance, of course!
Sunny scenes on Trentside, and my thumb!

A somewhat slow-paced first half, I just noticed I inadvertantly snapped a picture of my thumb along with the riverside view! Oh well, I quite like it.
Hoping for a pacier second half.. McCleary is warming up, so fingers crossed!
