7.02 am start sorry

Nice drive down, full of hope.

A couple pints in "The Blue Bore" Nice locals and staff

In to the ground, nice cafe type thing for away fans. Burger/coffee £3.70 Hot dog/coke £3.70.

The Game started well, scored lots of texting so missed their goal

Scored again, lots of singing from the 66, the away end has very good acoustic and I bet would rock with a few hundred away fans in it.

Half time dancers included Tracey and Sharon both 18, and lifetime ambition to work at spearmint rhino, (Only joking girls)

2nd half, they scored and I said here we go Burton all over again.

Spencer came on and IMO turned the game, showed fight enthusiasm and energy.

We scored and went wild again.

Full time 3pts 21st get in.

JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE ALL THE WAY... OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO SEE MORECAMBE WIN AWAY, HEY!

Roche, Parrish, McCready, Haining, Capaldi; Drummond, Hunter, Duffy, Brown; Shuker, Mullin. Subs: Walker, Bentley, Stanley, Scott, Rundle, Spencer, Fleming. 10/10

2 things I hope to see next week

1) Spencer did enough to get a start IMO so Mullin and Spencer to start

2) Capaldi has a great long throw, we need to use it more from both sides into the box, a couple of times he was stopped from going forward to take them, with Mullin flicking them on this could be a source of quite a few goal chances.

P.S
Thanks Jim for moving the lads over a bit at HT

.....and so has Haining and Scotty but our Manager never took advantage of it this season which is worrying if you have that in your locker! It's even more worrying if as you say that he was stopped from going forward to use it during other times in the game.

How long is this long throw? As far as the penalty spot? And what's his technique like? Delap has a lofted one and a flat one, it really is an effective weapon to have.

He threw it in for Drummy's goal

He threw it in for Drummy's goal

So he did, I didn't realise on first viewing. Hope we employ this tactic at every given opportunity.

I mentioned it on Bay as being a possible 'weapon' for us, then within five minutes he created our first goal with it. Had a bit of a premonition day - said to Sean 'Spencer to score' as soon as he came on as well

Laugh of the day was our subs at half time.

Bents was having them running right across the width of the pitch doing warm-ups. Then a leggy blonde came out to do their half time draw. All of a sudden it was half the width of the pitch and back quick for another gander.

Then that finished and they went back to full-width.

THEN the aforementioned dancers came on when our lads were over the other side. They ran to a central position and stopped. As soon as the girls took their jackets off and got into their raunchy routine, all of a sudden it was 'right lads, stay where you are!' (about ten yards from the girls and facing them, mouths agape!) and a full five minutes of stretching and crouching as they gawped. Hilarious - they couldn't have made it more obvious without getting cameras out of their kit-bags!

Did you notice that us fans were shouting at Jim and Co. to move out of the way as they were restricting the view to the centre circle!

A moment of pure quality

[shrimper]

No, didn't spot that. Too busy laughing at the players!

[ockers]

yes the dancers were something else....

Yes they were.

Here is a snippet showing the players in their starting position. You can look providing you promise not to zoom in!

Roots Hall must be the only place that there are more spectators at half time than there are when the game is being played

The one at the back was particularly cheeky. Did you notice when the players were due to come out for the 2nd half she lifted her bits and pieces up in preperation

That was just before I got a clout from her who must be obeyed
