The Long Pre-Season

[John Street West Terrace]

Well it's just about reaching that time when the missus is starting to well and truly get on my tits at the weekend . I've played ball for a week or two with some non -football duties and the frequent isn't this nice doing this and that comments followed by a prolonged stare to check my reaction .

Soon it'll be time to burst the dillusional bubble yet again that she blows each year of a future of weekend bike rides and walks in the country & frequent trips home furnishing shops to buy the latest lamp , picture frame or candle .

Sorry Mrs JSW the pre-season friendlies are nearly upon us .. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now

I cannot wait for Stocksbridge Park Steels away much in the same way I couldn't wait for Hull City at Wembley in 2014. It feels like Christmas is a week away. That's how bad pre season is.

It makes me think the format should be changed. It's painfully too long.

Don't play for 2 weeks before and after Xmas and start the season a month earlier would do it.

As much as it's a torturous experience to suffer through a long pre season, it's necessary to refresh the excitement. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

It has been a long time since i wanted a season to start as much as this season. Probably not been as excited about a new season since the season we had in the Premiership.

It makes a vast difference from last season where i was a bit meh about the upcoming season, and thought the play offs would be the best we could hope, and any pre-season optimism was beaten out of me within 4 games, we all know how that turned out don't we.

Right now we're L1 champions and have just had a blinding season. So enjoy it while it lasts.

No point wishing your life away, it passes soon enough.

That's good planning. I'm away most of August. First home game I get to see is Norwich mid September.

Always book after fixtures come out.

Limited choices but still plenty to go at.

I'm in the Lake District for a week in sept but I'm back on the 9th when we play Sunderland so my wife has said that she will drive me to the game!!. She's going shopping whilst I'm at the stadium of shite!. That's a good deal in my book?. Utb
