I found all the even numbered reasons particularly uplifting - though I hope they go easy on Fukuoka Avispa - you never know when enjoying something like that too much can turn around and bite you.

I was glad to hear they you were able to enjoy the game from the right position, even though not under the best conditions, and as a direct result of your giving away the original tickets too.

Having been mightily rained on for some weeks here, I know it is not easy to remain cheerful when wet and cold.
