The waiting game   Good things certainly come to those who wait don’t they? And for those travelling faithful up at the Stadium of Light it was one of those manic, jump up, fall over and on your knees raising your hands to the heavens type celebrations. Come on, if it happened every week, it […]

It’s not big, it’s not clever. I’m not telling you this to show off or anything like that, it’s more of a confessional, but I snapped on Saturday.
