Countdown to Sunday

Post by Bunchy »

Starting to get the usual butterflies ahead of Sunday.
I have chunked up the week as such .....
* Thursday - rugby club on sky sports then checking txt constantly until I hear Tuilagi ban was a mistake ??????? and he is cleared to play Bath
* Friday - check this site after 12 to get the team news - then listen to the endless debates on who is and isn't playing....
* Saturday - sturdy breakfast, then off from Rutland to Wales. Check in and assess options for beers / watching the battle of Ireland / food etc. May check out the stadium and start to get as excited as a 5 year old on Xmas eve
* Sunday - pace around feeling nervous until 3pm - hope that Guiness will help calm me down sufficiently - then the game. .......
* Sunday evening / Monday - hope to feel elated ....

Does anybody else "suffer" like this ?

I've started to get the jitters as well although being busy at work is helping to quash those!

Notice your from Ketton, im just up the road from you in Morcott!

Saturday and Sunday morning will be a nightmare, will just have to get lots of Guinness down me to steady those nerves!

I'll be doing the nastiest, heaviest, muckiest most evil task in the World which is fitting thick heavy rubber matting in some stables.

At 5 minutes to kick off (come hell or high water) I'll be collapsed in a chair with a large bottle of Yorkshire ale. Then the nerves will really kick in.

Bunchy, very worried about your first two lines ~

"usual butterflies" (obviously stomach related) followed by "chunked up", mind you the slight misread didn't help.

Travelling down on Saturday, hopefully with similar plans to be in a pub watching Irish clash, but don't know how I'll feel on Sunday, I'm guessing pretty much the same

Can't wait, very nervous/excited i really fancy us to win.
I think as kick off approaches this will turn into us, losing for sure, why have i come? type thing. (always does with me).
Travelling down from Hull to leicester on saturday night, then down to cardiff sunday morning, back to Hull sunday night, hope its worth it!!
