And so it begins ...

I have found that some of the websites dedicated to Ray Hudson have fallen by the way side lately, so I am starting this blog, not to take the place of those sites, but to carry the baton now since I have the facility to do so.

I stumbled upon Ray during last years season, (09-10) and quickly came under his spell, finding myself and my wife actually creating drinking games based on Ray's calls.

As I sit here tonight watching Malaga vs Valencia, the first broadcast of the season, I feel that it is my duty to carry the torch when I can and perpetuate the Raytopia arena to the best of my ability.

If you are a Ray Hudson fan please chime in and let's make this season one for the books.
