Particularly ugly here when this photograph was taken during the night at the recent 24 hour football match !
I am glad I work on radio and not TV !
This picture far better and explains how I feel inside.
4.02am here in the studio, running late today. At 6am I will be going live with my Tuesday show - MUSIC FROM MY VINYL COLLECTION - my 99th show since joining Radio CRMK. I am looking forward to my century tomorrow.But before today's broadcast and certainly before tomorrow let's look back on the 14 hour overnight Radio Disco broadcast yesterday.

I think the audience figures were good and I will be nervously watching the podcast figures over the coming days. However, audience figures are not what this is about.
£11,683 - that is the important figure - ELEVEN THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE POUNDS raised by the organising team and all players at the game. £11,683 which will help Milton Keynes Winter Night Shelter prepare for next season and its loving help for our homeless and rough sleeping friends in
Yesterday's radio disco was not an event in its own right, it was a celebration of the football.
Two nights without sleeping. I must admit I am flagging now even though I did get to bed last night. When the alarm went off at 2.30am I
Saturday - I arrived at the pitch for 10.30am ahead of the 12 noon kick off and set up my little base. Teddy Bear Mascot Ben was there with his collecting bucket.
At 11pm it started to rain - to rain HARD. Yet during those dark, cold and wet hours of the night it was then the spirit of the players was at its height.
Throughout the 24 hour game I scribbled notes on what was happening and took photographs. The notes were intended
However....................
I took more than 300 photographs so can use only a small fraction here on today's page. Yes, I did use
I have a plan.
Next week I will edit all of the pictures AND my scribble. I will then put them all on to a website page together with the podcast from yesterday's radio disco. This can then be used by the footballers and Milton Keynes Winter Night Shelter to continue to raise support for next season's operation way into the coming months.

It was a struggle for me trying to get through that long, cold and wet Saturday night but if the players were going to be awake and kicking then so did I.I struggled. While The Barclays Premier League Trophy and my Sheffield Wednesday Scarf here look great the silly old man in the picture looks even more ugly than normal ! Can being ugly be normal ?
The Radio Disco went well, very well and not once through the entire fourteen hours did I feel tired even though it was my second night without sleep. TOTALLY KNACKERED now but then I was buzzing. Buzzing with the music and buzzing with the inspiration the football organisers and players injected into me.

Give me until the end of next week and I will have the gallery of pictures and the podcasts on a website page.Right now - 4.54am - I need to get ready for today's show.
In conclusion I want to invite you to put your hands together and give a rousing round of applause to the organisers, to the players, to the spectators and to the sponsors who achieved that incredible figure.
