Orlando football fan excited to see Bolton in person

Post by brantparsons » Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:39 pm

I live in Orlando Florida and have on occasional written a football blog for the media company that I work for.

After following the Premier League for almost two decades now, Bolton will be the first team I get to see in person when they play Orlando City on Sunday night.

Needless to say I'm rather excited about the event.

Welcome in Brant. Might be a few names you never heard of in the Bolton side. (might even be a few we never heard of. Hope you enjoy it. :wink:

You'll be less excited when you've actually seen us.

But you've made your bed, don't go changing.

Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Hello, Brant, don't get too worked up about the event. It'll be a warm up match for our lads (and I'm not denigrating the Orlando team) and, as others have mentioned, heaven only knows who we will put on the paddock. Nevertheless enjoy the day, mate, as it's not every day we get to see Premier League teams play in our respective locales.

I'm not worried about it being a warm-up match (or really who plays), still be fun to see the lads live in person. (And I'll be up as close as someone can be, so that makes it even better)

And yes, I call it football - always call it football - makes for good fun in the office

Welcome Brant - as I recall your blog at the Orlando Sentinel calls it "The Other Football"

:D I guess you can't change 'the other' to 'the real'...

excellent, aand welcome.

If you really want to confuse the guys try avoiding reference to "jerseys" when you mean kit/tops/shirt. Plus refer to football teams or clubs in thee plural - so Bolton Wanderers ARE playing ... as opposed to IS. It's just how it's said here & will have your guys apopleptic.

To go the whole hog you could always use English English spelling !

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it & continue to follow us.
