The Final Countdown
The clock is ticking..... 2 days, 20 hours, 47 minutes and 37 seconds; 36 seconds; 35 seconds.....
Hell, you know what I mean!
The countdown has begun to the Powergen Rugby League Challenge Cup Final between St Helens and Huddersfield Giants. As Wembley is STILL not built, this year's final is being played on the hallowe'ed turf of Twickenham. (At least, if you're a fan of "piley on" I guess it's hallowe'ed turf.)
On Friday, six of us will be off, off, off in a motor car, down the M something or other (I don't even know which way South is to be quite honest.... except that it's "down".) We're staying at a Travel Inn at Heathrow so not much sleep to be had I'm thinking. Still, who cares, it's the final and I'm so excited I'm likely to hyperventilate before the day's out.
Yesterday, three of us went up to St Helens on the train to buy deccies for the car from the Saints Club Shop and earlier, Lou and I went and had our nails painted in Saints' colours (white with a red "V") so there will be no more washing up done in this house before Friday!!
Right now the final is all I can think about. I'm like a kid at Christmas and I really do think I'm going to burst if Friday doesn't hurry up and get here soon.
Just make sure you're watching on Saturday.... oh and keep your fingers crossed for us.
C'mon you Saints!
