I'm really annoyed with myself for getting mixed up with dates that clash with football, all week I've been trying to hitch a ride up to Geordieland to see the Pikes vs North Shields. However fate turned its ugly head and unexpectedly I get a call from my brother that my niece was very ill so all plans were scrapped cos family comes first. I really hope the Lads do well later today as a good cup run will draw the crowds, anyway good luck lads do your best for the CODPIECE!! 
That's all from the CODPIECE!!
Up the PIKES.
