Today:
Our manager was at the EIS to see the British Basketball Play off semi final today.
Sheffield Sharks v Glasgow Rocks. Saw his name on the courtside seats. Reserved for Nigel and Angie Adkins.
He turned up late (sums up his/our season) but was getting into the game - to be fair he has been a few times when I have been down there and seems to like his 'American' sports - didn't he go and watch loads of NFL/NBA teams train - not that it has helped him in any way?
He seemed well into it and was punching the air when key shots dropped (maybe a few ooooss and aaaaasss) - and seemed more energetic than on the sideline at the Lane.
The Sharks nearly threw it away but won on aggregate despite losing on the night (2 legged affair) and Adkins shook hands with the Sharks coach at the end. Maybe he said something about their resilience. They now play the final at the o2 in London next week but will be big underdogs versus Leicester Riders - tempted to go there instead of Blades v Scunny but it is on the BBc red button from 3.45pm if people want to see a Sheffield team in a final.
I walked right past him. In my head I muttered something about him being a complete let down and his awful tactics, team selections, signings and obsession with former players that are now has beens. In reality I said nothing. My son asked if he could have a selfie with him. I said no and dragged him out of the arena (he'd had one earlier in the season).
That's it.
Tomorrow: My face off with Nige on the stepping stones in Endcliffe Park.
