I Only Saw Ten Minutes, But...

[weymouthPIE]

Today was the last induction day for my new job, and sadly I didn't finish it till half 4. Weymouth were at home and the ground is barely 5 minutes away from the offices where I did the induction, so this afternoon killed me, not being able to go.

 

Finally, I finished at half 4 and ran down to the ground. My mate had been texting me updates. We had dominated the first half but failed to score, and typically, the visitors - Bognor Regis Town had scored two quickfire goals midway through the second half. I didn't expect to see much but nevertheless I went in to watch the final 10 minutes.

 

Upon entering the stadium, I heard the Bognor fans singing away to my right, while the Weymouth fans were voicing their frustrations. Many were heading for the exits.

 

As I walked round the corner heading towars my spot behind the goal, I heard a cry of "go on!" - I looked up just to see the ball rolling into an unguarded net. Stewart Yetton had stolen it from Bognor's keeper and pulled us back into it.

 

I had just got to my spot when the ball was when on the edge of the area. The ball broke for Ben Joyce to fire past a dispearing keeper into the bottom corner to equalise for Weymouth. Out of nothing, we had pulled it out of the fire.

 

It ended 2-2, and we had sparred our blushes. We earned an FA Cup 2nd qualifying round replay with a side from two leagues below us. Sure, before the game a replay would have been a dissapointment but given the circumstances, it felt like a win!

 

I saw ten minutes but saw the best part! Someone had to save the day I guess

 

Have to say I didn't feel sorry for those who I saw leaving as I went in though. Just goes to show - stick by your team till the bitter end, never lose faith. You never know what might happen!

Well done you are obviously a lucky mascot, I have never left a game early and believe me I've seen some dire Notts performances.

Can you be at Pride Park for the last 10 minutes tonight please,Weymouth.

I've left early once before at Notts, if memory serves me correctly, it was during Steve Thompson's era. I tell myself that's a valid excuse for anyone.
