Are We Ready......Let#'s start the countdown : Sat Aug 22, 2015 7:59 pm  

Boys & girls, in less than 1 week we will be gracing the hallowed turf and quite frankly, I'm already losing sleep thinking about how ace the day will be.

I have planned the day already, the start times, the parking, the pub meet up, even the shirt, which has to be the same as Headingley, as anything else will jinx the day. I went in club shop this morning and it brought home how I'm not alone in feeling like a daft kid about this. It was absolutely rammed and the punters were lapping it up. As I left with my Wembley Sponge Hand I chuckled at the HKR flags draped out of the upstairs window, flapping over the "Hull & Proud" sign of the neighbouring shop.

Drink it in fellow fans, we have waited long enough, let the countdown begin.

6 days, 18 hours, 15 mins.....

I haven't had much time to think about it - work has been bonkers for a while.

For the same reason I never got around to buying this season's shirt, for the first time in a few years, despite liking it a lot. I woke up one day and suddenly it was July. I'm leaning towards the 2008 or 2012 shirt at the moment. On the other hand 2009 and 2010 have better memories, despite being indifferent designs.

I'm excited my partner not so much as I had to remind her I was going to Wembley next week her reply was what for. To be honest I have never met anyone with least interest in sport as her

Is there a future in this relationship, I ask?

Pardon the pun, but does she have an up side? Or is it none of my business?

I quite like the fact that she has no interest in rugby and she does have her good points I'll get back to you when I remember them

Terrible start to this thread.

If we lose it will be down to SirStann's inability to know what an ellipsis is.

The latest Ms. Terrorista will be wearing my old "Goose Power" shirt, that I had the good fortune to meet the esteemed Mr. Grafton Red, lover of of the finest Cuabn cigars...

I did a grammar post that was all wrong.

Typical.
