Anyone watching the North Stand of Fratton Park will have noticed that the football season is over (as far as Fratton park goes) for this year, and there are an obvious lack of bulldozers, yellow or otherwise, attacking the north stand.
It was Saturday afternoon when I got away with shouting "Bo***cks!" fairly loudly at a passing policeman. He dropped by to say 'You looking forward to a nice new shop next year, with air conditioning'. At which point, I shouted the B-word with comments to the effect that 'It's already air-conditioned, can't you feel the draught!!', before realising I was talking to a member of the local constabulary.
As I was not treated to the reception usually reserved for millwall supporters, I assume I got away with it.
So, next years shop will be the same shed as this years shop. Perhaps we'll get decent heating, more electrical outlets (I want a coffee machine), etc. The following year, we are working on double glazing, proper lighting, something resembling a desk to work at, and perhaps some better tills, perhaps even a laptop-based version of what we use in the shops.
We can but hope.
Until next season, it's back to Cosham....
