Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Pre-season rolling finally got underway at Bootham Park this weekend, and not a moment too soon. The square felt decidedly hilly when I gave it a cut on Friday night, largely due to the tender attentions of inconsiderate gits in football boots. The mowing was interrupted by the arrival of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance which gave me half an hour to sit on the pavilion steps and contemplate the Minster.We managed to keep the roller trundling slowly across the square for most of the weekend and made some interesting banging noises on the pavilion too. All this with the minimum of injuries, although Unlucky Al managed to pick up a sizeable splinter along the way. Add this to his dodgy shoulder and his ball/nose interface in the nets and he's already looking like a shoo-in for the Crock of the Year trophy before the season even starts. Mac had an idea, too, but he was alright after he'd had a sit down.
