It’s weird. I’ve been up a couple of hours, it’s 9am on Thursday, and it’s still less than 48 hours until I hit the Fans Museum for beer.

(I’m currently in the Dominican Republic on the last day of my holiday! Which included a 7 hour hospital trip as I have pneumonia!!)

So I’ll see any of you which make it to the fabs museum on Saturday!!

Still floating from the playoffs tbh and there's a part of me that kind of wishes the season didnt start for another couple of weeks!

But starting to get really excited now, just seeing us a part of the big time again with all the coverage is class.

Outside chance of Alderete starting possibly.

Take care of yourself - perhaps wrap up in cotton wool until kick off

Can’t wait for the whole day. The town centre will be buzzing and I think the stadium will be rocking.
I’ll be at the ground for 2-30 as I’m expecting queues where I sit because of the sell out, P1 has been great but new supporters will have us chocca block.
3-1 The Lads and a great atmosphere by both sets.

I admireyour optimism, but where do the 3 goals come from?.

About 80% of predictions seem to have all 3 promoted teams going down, which I understand because of the last two seasons but it just seems a bit lazy, at least one of us will stay up this season, I feel very confident about that.

None of the ex pros do their homework, they've no idea about any of the players we have brought in from abroad and just dismiss them. Some of the journos who have been on Haway the Podcast and actually pay attention to the foreign leagues are very positive about our business and chances of staying up.

In 2005 I went to Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico through work and when I got back I had pneumonia.
Only night I have ever spent in hospital.
Knocked me off my feet for a while so watch you don't over do things.
I'm advising against running on the pitch on Saturday after we scored our sixth goal :-)
Safe travels home....LA

Mrs Malaga is a WHU supporter - although supports us as well

We are on holiday at the moment - and will both be watching, in separate rooms

This could turn out to be a fantastic holiday for me - or not! <laugh>

My missus is a Mag (great tits though), we do a deal that whoever’s team wins has to do the other a ‘favour’ in derbies.

Doesn’t stop the pain but helps for few mins.
