The Anonymous Widower

Football Starts

I’ll be off to Portman Road to see Ipswich take on Real Valladolid tonight.  It’s only a friendly, but it passes an evening.

Whether this season will be any better than the last few, I don’t know, but one has to live in hope.

Since my wife died, football has been very much a crutch, in that in trips to Portman Road, I’ve been very much amongst friends.  And when I take the occasional foray to an away match, it’s an opportunity to lose myself in something trivial.

I’ll have to drive to Ipswich though.  Guess what!  The trains are on strike.  But for evening matches they don’t put on a return train to Newmarket, as the last train stops at Bury St. Edmunds.
