A home fixture at last. Well, sort of.....

Overheard on the phone on Saturday:- 

Kettering: The game's off.  Snow and rain overnight has left standing water despite some covers being on the pitch. 

Leamington: We told you to reverse the tie and play at ours. 

K: We were drawn at home! 

L: Well that doesn't matter. We wanted a home tie.  

K: Well we couldn't risk your floodlights failing again 

L: Yes that was unfortunate that night. It was lucky your people found our Chairman locked in the floodlight control room.  We thought we'd lost him. 

K: Well we've looked at the weather and it seems dry on Sunday and Monday as well as this afternoon.  So let's play it on Monday. 

L: I'll speak to our Manager....... no - he can't do Monday as he's washing his hair. 

K: er.... but he's bald! 

L: Oh no sorry, he says he's got a zoom call with his psychiatrist on his anger issues, so he can't do Monday. 

K: If that's firm then we'll have to go for Tuesday but there's a weather warning for heavy rain - so it'll likely be waterlogged. 

L: Come and play at ours then. 

Phone goes dead.
