This was one of those trips which you really looked forward to. Lofty and Keith had sorted the travel arrangements and the mini bus had been booked for the trip.

I had some new clobber for this trip so I had spent nearly £400 before I even got on the bus. Knackers not to be outdone had done the same as had Goff with his new Stoney.

The Yarmouth contingent eventually left about 7am which was later than planned but due to the fact that Scargill Daz was still in his pit.

I was picked up just after 7.30 in Norwich then it was on to Wymondham to collect Dom and Rappo. The final pickup was Knackers in Brandon before heading off to the game. As soon as Knackers got on he dished out a couple of furry hats and a rattle before opening his Bud and dishing it out. For some reason they went down a treat that early in the morning. Tungy couldn’t even face one at this point which was unusual for him. He did look a bit tender and I think it was because he had some blood in his alcohol stream. I had to plug the MP3 player in which woke Tungy and Daz up. This was not in anticipation of the sounds but they saw the opportunity of getting in some cheap shots as I made my way to the front. I had taken with me a bottle of White Chocolate Corkys which I opened shortly afterwards. Me, Rappo, Knackers, Daz and Lofty had a couple of glasses. It was lovely tasted just like milkshake which was perfect for breakfast. That with another couple of bottles of beer and it was a really good fun trip.

Shortly after this it was goodnight and see you then. By all accounts I fell into my seat and that was the last they heard from me. The next thing I remember is Knackers ringing me at 2.15 so I could get to the pub. We had already arrived at Stockport and they left me asleep on the bus.

I got up got myself dressed and made my way to the pub where I met everyone. I was on the water and coke then for a while. Brett from the Handsworth Blades and Jamie the Wendy fan had come down to see us which was a really good gesture thanks lads. After speaking to the locals buying a few badges etc we all made our way to the ground.

The game wasn’t great to be honest but we won 3-1 which makes a great change. For years now we have travelled home from away games on the end of a thrashing.

It was then time to leave so after filling up with grub at the chippy it was time to move off. A short detour was made at Coventry to drop off Cameron then it was homeward bound. A disco come Karaoke session was held for the first hour or so before the effects of the drink and early start started to take effect and one by one people started to flag. Dom who has gadgets for everything supplied the disco lights from his phone come computer thing he carries about with him. Wimps!!!, me and Rappo were still going at the end along with Keith. Good job about Keith alias (tom tom) because he was driving. Another superb job Keith well done mate we would be fucked without your road knowledge of every road in the UK. I was eventually dropped off at 01:30 after a long day. Can I just say boys, that was another fantastic trip made even better for the fact that our team is on the up. What makes it even better is that Scum are absolutely shite even though they had their one win of the season. KEANO THERES ONLY ONE KEANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s to plenty more for the rest of the season.
