Toni, Aaron, Sophie, Shane and I went to the Riverside this evening to watch the Chelmsford Chieftains playing ice hockey for the first time this season. Wanted to go as the Capitals didn't have a game and it was against Romford Spitfires so was hopeful of some "local derby" rivalry.
The game didn't disappoint. I was hoarse at the end of the game from having to do 11 goalie/sieve chants but it was good to do it again.
At the end of the first period one of the Romford players took exception to being booed as he came off the ice and was making threatening gestures to Big Pete. I told the guy to settle down and he then turned towards me before being escorted away by two of his team mates. Game didn't let up with the Chieftains scoring for fun and there were a couple of fights at the end too. Game was slightly marred by some idiots trying to crash the Spitfires bench and cause trouble but thankfully it didn't get too out of control.
Really glad we went and can't wait to do it again.
