It was a lovely morning and really well organised by the Club. Tea/Coffee/Juice in the Legends Lounge beforehand, then out into the West Stand to watch the boys do their Captains Run - Nothing particularly telling in that (other than the line-up for tomorrow as they ran out in their relevant bibs - I think JdJ/Gaby might have been different but that was it) but a nice hour or so basking in the Sun.
Big cheer for Jack Willis as he ran out. JdJ the noisiest person on the pitch - He seems a real heartbeat of the squad knitting the guys together.
Nice to see Derek, Nick Eastwood and Paul Sackey all in attendance supporting the Club. I only clocked that Umaga was out there when the players were doing signings and had a moment where I didn’t recognise him until he started his signature with a ‘J’ - Wish I had of paid more attention to him whilst out there.
All the lads very generous with their time and easy going. Made a big effort. Special mentions to Dai, Smashley, JdJ, Miller and Lima who were all particularly engaging and chatty. Lima in particular comes accross as just a hugely down-to-earth, genuine guy and i’ve no doubts he’ll start to shine for us. He was the last off the pitch (him and Miller kicking) and the last down the tunnel.
After all of the negative press surround the club this is something that probably cost little to nothing in monetary terms but has left a real feel-good factor around the fans who could attend and the team in general.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow!
