Ipswich Vs Peterborough Thurs April 14th Plc


Recommended Posts

Been in Suffolk since i was a pup, but i'm a bluenose as Alan Brazil would say... :drink:

 

Alan Brazil. Had some great times in the pub he used to run in Ipswich. The Blackadder? He could never understand that my family was from Mussleburgh and that I was a Morton fan. He's done ok for himself since then. Took him along to a meeting at Foxhall one evening, but can't remember much about it for some reason...

Good stuff macca..

 

I'm from Musselburgh too (well Inveresk anyway).

 

But also one of Brazil's bluenoses!!

 

Small world Scotsman. It's a number of years since I have been to Mussleburgh, since they finished the Edinburgh Marathon there. Back in the day, the family ran a tea dealers there and lived in Downie Place just back from the Promenade. Been a couple of years since I've been to Cappielow too. Last time they beat Dumbarton 4-0, so I may have decided to 'retire' after a good home win. Must try and get back again soon though, always feel good to go back.

 

Funny thing was, there was a guy from Clacton, I think, who used to run a double glazing business who was a Morton fan and used togo to Ipswich Town matches wearing a Morton shirt. He used to sponsor match balls and the like at Cappielow. Phil Fox maybe, can't remember now?

The forecast for tomorrow seems to be even less predictable than a menopausal women!

 

Every one is different as to how much when and where any rain will hit.

 

Fingers crossed.......

Taken from met office

 

Thursday:

Any fog soon clearing to give a dry start with some sunny spells. However, the odd shower is likely by afternoon, these becoming heavy and thundery in places later. Maximum Temperature 15 °C.

Well, if it remains a little confusing on the weather front, then that will be me doing my Billy no mates impression once again....the person I had traditionally gone to speedway with now only goes when the weather is not in doubt, any hint of possible rain and he doesn't go.

 

Best put fuel in the car just in case he decides not to go at the eleventh hour!
