“One sits in wonder and apprehension for the GOJ .. and there is a fear and, well, not really a fear, but one that runs through the mind .. ‘will anyone still be there ..’ ? and as the gates open the energised reception and the smiles and the cheering and the multitudinous mobiles up in the air, take over .. and take over the balconies of the balcony in the structure ahead of the road across and the rooftop of another and their vociferous waves and movements to be seen, capture the eye and attention is drawn there .."

"After due respect to the Ef in the front rows .. and the slogan shouting Ef’s of the day and the banners and the pictures in abundance to be autographed and given in immediate return .. and the turn back to the isolation of the personalised room .. and the wonder of, ‘did it really happen all this’ .. The walk down the GOJ aisle .. in heartbeat moments .. and then the climb to the viewing box .. for the revelation that all is well.”
