Tickets have arrived

5 tickets for the play-off finals on Sunday have arrived this morning we will be behind the goal to the left viewing from the pen spot 2 rows back from the pitch - look out for us on Sky!
Last time I went to play-off finals (ex. SAFC) was the Plymouth v Darlington final at Wembley - unfortunately Darlo lost. Remember seeing Micky Heathcote getting out of the Plymouth coach in the tunnel and shouting "Kelloe boys we are here ...." and getting the thumbs up from him - not a bad player in his day but would never have made it big style.
So I am hoping for a better day in Cardiff and a win for the Pool, mind you they will have to play better than last match as Sheffield Wednesday will be up for it thinking about all the local derby matches next season against Sheffield United and dirty Leeds.
Well tomorrow off with Mrs Gilligan to Glasgow to see her favourite countryman Rod Stewart at the SEC. On expenses so stopping over at the Holiday Inn in the West End, having a meal before and a drink in Walkabout after. Hoping for a good night although feeling a bit depressed at the outcome of the Scottish Premier League - Celtic threw it away and Martin O'Neil looks as though he is taking a year out of football (he should go to watch the Scum and he will still be a year out of football) and looks like Gordon Strachen may take his place, ironically having also taken a year out of football - funny old game isn't it.
Billy off the Las Vegas in search of Billy Elvis at the week-end - I'll give you a tip Billy Elvis IS dead and as dead as Shearers left foot. Try having a go on the Las Vegas roulette game on Sky Sports - press the red button - free go and you have £1,000 to bet with. It will put you in the mood for spending loads in the gambling houses of Vegas. P.S Rumour has it that Jeff Whitley is out there at the same time you might see him - he will be the one that always passes his chips backwards.
As to Blogitis see the doc before you go but don't declare it on your green immigration ticket as a disease as you may not get in - it's regarded as higher than foot and mouth in the States.
Have a good holiday Billy - take you camera take plenty of pictures but don't get arrested in any toilets - you know it makes sense!

I was speaking with Ian Rand at work today and he told me that Clive (+ David, Stuey and ANO) were also going to the Hartlepool game. Perhaps you could meet up with them for a drink ....... but don't get too pissed as the Coxhoe Cameraman might be watching!
I wish I was going as it would be great to visit the Millenium .... but not as much as I'm looking forward to going to the USA!

Tis better to jump on a bandwagon than fall off a moknkey puzzle tree.

They'll be taking that card off you soon Jimmy the way you use/abuse it - but hopefully not before we get another couple of away trips in!
Not only does this site give footy and lifestyle advice as well as photography tips but we now have a 'music correspondent. Concert review eagerly awaited.

Billy just completed April expenses and actually made a mistake I used the company b'card for pet food at the pet shop Arnison centre - thought I would inform them about this one and refund them the money - just to show them that I am really honest!

If I was a cynic Jim I'd say that this was a good ploy i.e. own up to a minor error but keep booking the big 'uns.
Only if I was a cynic.
