favourite away day

[SEVEN TEARS BOY]

I've never done that kind of thing you cretin R...

 

(except to Janineiekins who asked me to do it)

[NickR]

Many great away days for many different reasons.

 

In no particular order:

 

Grays away complete with the conga round the ground. Took the absolute p1ss!

 

Kettering away on New Years day. First time segregated with hx. An experience.

 

Boston United

 

Weymouth in the FA cup was fantastic.

 

Welling away in the cup.

 

Cogenhoe in the vase was great day out on the mini bus.

 

Winning the Gordon Branstead trophy at Burnham has to be my favourite.

 

looking back at my (and others) list I notice that more than half of them were losing efforts which speaks volumes for us as fans. Unlike many other places, the result isn't always paramount. Supporting football is what you make it, and the fans of this great little club have always made the best of it whichever league, whatever result, wherever we are.

London Apsa away.

Aaaargh! London APSA away! Went straight from work and got there before anyone else. Had to wait 20 minutes before anyone from APSA turned up. Asked where the bar was to be told there was no bar. Went for a walk and ended up in the Greengate, passing an offie on the way. Made a mental note to buy some tinnies on the way back. On the way back the offie was closed! Got in the ground and went in search of some grub. Only thing on offer resembled a turd in a dishcloth so decided against. Went to the stand which was about 100 yards from the pitch to watch a pretty dire game and I've forgotten what the score was! Wonderful evening.
