I am writing this post a little after midinight on Wednesday morning. I just received some news that I did not want to hear and feel I should do tomorrow's blog right now to capture my feelings. If I type this after a good nights sleep I probably will have calmed down. A little.
I have been let down. Again.
Early last year I entered the Gambling God competition with Inside Edge magazine. You all know - I wrote about it here. My hope of entering this magazine feature was because I fancied the challenge. The top prize was three days at Cheltenham - that didn't interest me. I wanted the chance to go and see the FA Cup at the new Wembley Stadium. This was the second prize.
I won the first heat and stayed in the leaderboard until late last year.
In the final month of 2006 I took part in the finals. I found out early this year that I came second. I achieved what I had set out to do. I was going to London.
So for the last few months I had set May 19th as my day. I have been overcoming other hurdles that life has thrown at me but the FA Cup was the finishing line.
But someone has taken down the posts.
I just logged into my email account and found an email from the person who had been in contact with me from Bet365 who co-promoted this competition. Apparently, the FA hadn't given them the tickets and so I have been offered compensation.
Money cannot make up for the loss of what I was looking forward to. I am absolutely gutted. I don't even know how to end this post as there is nothing positive that will come from this.
Why?
