:lol:
Rain on the day, on it's own, won't help on me turning up or not - I'll be sat in the pavilion getting frustrated and p1ssed off with crowds of people milling around, waiting for the umpires to call it off...
If we (or they) wrapped up the game on saturday, then I'll definitely be coming. But I don't really see that happening with these two teams at the moment - I suspect it's gonna be a long drawn out punching competition with everyone near dead at the end. Added to that, if it ain't better than 1-0 when we start (ie, if we don't win Headingly), us Surrey members are all gonna be in a bit of a state in the pavilion as well. Four years ago, lunchtime on the fifth day, most people looked physically ill: a lot of very scared and nervous looking people standing around, chain-smoking, unable to eat our sandwiches, no fingernails left, etc... It won't be as bad this time, I think, because most of us attending have actually witnessed the Ashes being rested from the old enemy now - last time, many of us had never actually seen that. But I, for one, have never been at a test match where we've beaten them in that match itself - I've seen us beat all other test nations, but not "them", and I really want to see it :?
NEway, if the miracle happens, and we roll them over late Saturday - I shall arrive with a very sore throat and up to two guitars (probably the yardbird tele and the new SG) :D
