18 September 2017

Orlando City Soccer Club

I think I have become the 2017-18 season Jonah.

All the teams I have some history with are struggling.  Even the Arsenal.

But with the club of my childhood,  Oldham Athletic,  currently bottom of League 1 in England, and Zbrojovka Brno bottom of the Czech League,  it looked like my new international team in Orlando would be okay.

Sadly from being top of their MLS division they have failed to amass more than 4pts since I booked tickets and have sunk to 3rd from bottom.

Two places further to drop down the table  to match the others!!

At least Arsenal have managed to get to 12th of 20 in the Premier League.

Hopefully, Hurricane Maria withstanding,  they will rally when I am there at the end of September.

Update 30/9/2017

What can I say? Easy drive up from Kissimmee and parked in 55 West. Walked to the stadium along W Church.

Claire had a backpack.  Not allowed. Only see thru bags allowed. If only they say this loud and clear on the website.....

Luckily they give them away free outside and a  mobile phone company had a competition where she won a bigger on. Ended up decanting backpack into see thru bags. Also my big packet of Lays got confiscated.  Obviously the bag could have concealed a terrorist. With pretzels selling for $5 for two, they don't want any errant Lays sneaking in.

Game okay.  Pretty much at English League One level.  The fans in the Fanzone "Wall" made it more of a carnival atmosphere but with a 0-0 draw it was never going to get the pulses running of the European visitors.  At $34 each it was okay

It does sound a bit selfish with all the people affected on the islands and southern Florida!!
