We unfortunately had to cancel the performance of Stitches tonight due to no ticket sales
I’ve let it sit this afternoon however I needed to get this off my chest…
Forgive me, forgive the cut towards the end where I was silent for a while but more importantly -

I received this bottle of Bollinger from director Sam Mendes
I never opened it but tonight’s the night
I’ve felt quite lost career wise this year so bring on 2023 in all it’s successes but also defeats
Stick with me & I’ll stick with you too
Lots of negativity on the West Ham Twitterverse atm (understandable too)
Wanna try brighten it up with the smart new away shirt, sun is shining for a change & not long till I’m back in BML Block 154 for another season with all the legends around me

Cant believe fans of the so called “Big Six” are saying they deserve no punishment because it’s harsh on them & the team

Good news to me, should’ve been this way years ago. Be a solid opportunity to try get a high-end commercial sponsor involved, though it’ll probably be a Dodgy Dave side hustle

Here’s the thing…

- An explorative rough draft in 2019
- A lockdown ‘keep distracted’ project
@Chris_Mills_
Just got home from Berlin & caught a Hertha game. Atmosphere was electric from start to finish because of a large designated loud support area which encouraged noise & support in the rest of the stadium, it’s an Olympic stadium too…
Surely the only way to make it work, BML 🤷♂️⚒️
