This
was a bit of a late one for me as I only decided a few days before to
go. It was also a first as I have never been to a pre season friendly.
Anyway we got the 8 O’clock train from Norwich and the
amount of beer the Yarmouth Yellows had brought for the trip was
legendary. The BDC had some lovely coffee by the way.
Now I know I keep going on a bit about clobber we wear
for footy but being an 80s Casual its important to me.
It is at this point I think it is worthy of a note
about our two fashion legends Nobby Nightmare and Glenn Porno Smith.
What the fuck is going on with these two. Ok Nobby tried, he had a
decent Fred Perry Polo on but then what the fuck!!
He was wearing a pair of shite cargo shorts with paint
splashes all over them. Not only that what were those trainers he was
wearing.
He looked like he was about to go rock climbing.
Onto Glen well what can I say, you have to give him
credit because he must go shopping for ages to find the worst possible
shop that sells the
worst possible clothes. The T-shirt was …well
I'm lost for words and the yellow trousers I needn’t say anymore.
Anyway off we went with Smothy looking ill from the
night before and the others getting on the beers. 2 hours later we
were in London.
Lofty, Goff and Tretty dropped their bags off as they
were staying overnight for the OASIS concert the next day then we made
the long walk to London Bridge.
Nobby and Glen took it in turns carrying a cool box
full of beer. Crossing London Bridge there was some sort of fete on
with loads of ancient
crafts and skills. Glen took particular interest
in "The society of playing card makers" fucking snooze snooze.
We pitched up in a bar by the train station and when
we ordered the beers we looked over to see a sign saying "Please Help
Yourself" on a table
containing bread jam and cheese and suchlike. A
few people helped themselves and very nice it was too. Glen decided he
wanted some and
when he went there the manageress told him off
as it was only for people purchasing coffee. Fucking hilarious
especially when the councillor on
him came out and he had to get his point across.
After a couple it was on the train to Dartford where
we pitched up in a really old Pub for a couple then onto another. This
was where Daz pitched
up and immediately started taking the piss. I
think we are getting payback from when we were merciless about his
Fake Stone Island at Palace.
Glen obviously feeling a bit self conscious
about his attire bought another top from the market. This was equally
as shocking so much so when
Goff see it he ripped it in half and Glen had to
wear it for the rest of the day as a waist coat. On the way to the
next pub loads of stupid hats and
glasses were bought from the market. The next
pub was best as we was here for a while with a bit of music dancing
and photos of all the attendees.
