Oldham Athletic @ Southend United.

Ticket arrived today.

Google also reckons 1h 47m for the trip. This discounts the three mile queue for the Dartford Crossing. So for a 3pm kick off I need to leave home at 1pm latest. How about Noon instead?

My first game under the Club's new ownership and of course, the first in Tier 5 of the English Football Pyramid.

After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits.
