Didn't feel well on Monday so I took the day off college, felt ok for the Tuesday so I went in, came out at the end feeling absolutely exhausted and really ill again.
Today I feel atleast as ill as I did on Monday, if not worse. Have the away trip to Gateshead o Saturday and this season I'm after 100% attendance at Telford matches, so far I've managed it and I'm currently praying I'll be well for the Gateshead match. If not then I'll still try and make it, I was ill on the away trip to Burscough and last season's FA Trophy trip to Worksop but it didn't stop me then. A Telford win would hopefully make me feel better so hopefully we can get one.

If you were older, I'd ask whether it were "Man Flu" Get well soon Giggster; even if the chasing of a 100% attendance is, to me anyway, a bit to close to obsessive

I was chasing the 100% record this seaosn ( I only want it once) until our first round FA Trophy tie at Barrow was postponed, and I couldn't get up there three days later. I don't want to be left only missing one game though!
Get well soon Gig

Weird. I just came into this bit of the forum to moan about being ill myself! Fortunately for my 100%-across-the-last-three-seasons record, we are at home this weekend. I was cooking dinner last night when suddenly I started to feel sick for no apparent reason. I then spent half the night going back and forth to the bathroom throwing up, even when there was nothing left to throw up I shall spare you further details. Today I feel a bit better but still bloody awful. I haven't been able to eat anything all day. I tried, but after about 3 bites I started feeling like I was going to throw up again. My HERO of the week is Martello for looking after me He's been a real star. I'm attempting to cook him something for dinner now while i'm waiting for him to get back from writing rubbish for the Independent and I'm really really hoping I'll be able to eat something myself! Get well soon Giggster. I hope you don't feel as lousy as I do

Feeling a bit better today, took the day off college as a precaution because going in on Tuesday when I thought I was better made me feel a lot worse.
Should be ok by tommorrow, Gateshead trip is not under threat as far as I'm concerned.
Chances of meeting the (in)famous Loy are remote however, they're only allowed so many people using the bar in the International Stadium so the match has been segregated.....or something to that effect.

Sounds like you have something very similar to what made me miss the Cambridge game, Sal. It's an awful at the time but it clears up surprisingly well and fast. Try eating dry, salty stuff if you can, that helped me a lot.
A bit of luck and you could be as right as rain come Saturday morning.
I've been politely sparing the public of my ills this week and i shall continue to do so for the purposes of not having anymore people throw up.

Get well soon all of you, must be something to do with this crazy weather! Can't say I enjoyed trudging through a couple of fresh inches of snow yesterday just to get to this place, least it's gone today. Missing tomorrow, not enough leave to keep taking late turn Saturdays off alas.

Martello is now ill too. I feel rather guilty! Is this some kind of Tinpot illness that's hit four Tinpotters in one week?! Sounds like you have something very similar to what made me miss the Cambridge game, Sal. It's an awful at the time but it clears up surprisingly well and fast. Try eating dry, salty stuff if you can, that helped me a lot. Thanks. It's obviously not exactly the same because the thought of eating salty stuff makes me feel like throwing up again! I think it's far more important to drink lots and lots of water. And it's not clearing up fast either... 2 days and I still feel just as bad.

Course I'll be there. I'll drag myself in on my hands and knees with a sick bucket tied round my neck if necessary. Thank christ we're at home. Unfortunately for Eastbourne, so are they

Ugh! Poorly people. Bad, bad things. We were going to go to Eastbourne tomorrow too - but if Martello is up-chucking; I expect it's best to avoid him and I have three someones coming to view my pied a terre tomorrow now, so it'll be updates on Sky for me again! Get well soon chaps. And chapesses! Giggy; whenever I have been to Goatsheed they have only actually opened the covered stand area because that's all that has been needed. I know you have travelling support (And drums : but if the game is truly segregated you might find yourselves out in the cold. Literally!

Feeling well enough now, was well enough to partake in a college-wide snowball fight (which meant I was 5 minutes late back to lesson) and then another one after I got home. My friend Sarah is now ill so if it's the same thing I feel kinda bad now, then again our other friend Mike had it first and is probably where it originally came from, if I'd been ill tomorrow still I wouldn't have liked to be in his shoes when I next see him.....
I think so far the plan is that we'll be in different parts of the main stand (we get the other side or something like that.) It's because they're only allowed so many people at the bar and with us there would be too many, solution was to not let us into the bar. To do that they had to keep us seperate. Hope they put us undercover atleast, the forecast is for rain, rain and more rain. Getting wet is ok when standing (I usually sit at home matches, stand at away matched) as when it stops you'll dry out, sitting in the rain doesn't seem much fun though.
As for the drum's they're better whn given to someone who knows how to play them, usually a bit of a lottery as to whether the owners can be bothered and i not who asks for it first. We have n't seen/heard as much from them recently. Personally they don't bother me when accompanied by good vocal support. Which I'll usually be in the thick of at away games where I stand, at home games we sit as a family with several other families around , can't see their parents being too pleased if I repeated a lot of things usually said in the hutch while sitting right next to their child.

Was perfectly healthy for the Saturday, got on the coach just in time. It hd been snowing in Telford but we were told there had been no snow up north. As we went along though it started to rain. Pitch inspections were done at 12:30 and 1:30 and both times we were phoned and told the pitch was playable. We got there and there were huge puddles of surface water on the pitch. Ref insisted it was playable and started the game. 15 minutes in though he had to call it off for a waterloged pitch. 5 hours there and 5 hours back for 15 minutes of football. Refunds were not given because giving them ou to everyone would be somewhere between practical to impossible for Gateshead to have managed. After a discussion with both teams and the league Gateshead have in my opinion given a very generous offer, entry to the replay will be free for all and they will help cover the costs of the extra supporters coach as a sign of goodwill. Very impressed with this personally when they could have all too easily said "not our problem" and sent us on our way. Just hoping the league see sense and put the match on a Saturday, next to no Telford fans could travel up for a 7:45 kickoff midweek with work,ect earlier in the day, would be surprised if the players could make it up even as they have full time jobs to hold down aswell. A midweek match would not work at all for the fixture which is the longest distance any Unibond Premier team has to travel all season (239 miles) and would potentially put my 100% record at risk. So long story short Gateshead can be added to the list as heroes, the weather can be a villain yet again and the Unibond League's fate will be decided on when they decide the replay will be.
