Report by Evesy

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.

.

After a bit we made our way to the ground via another pub. Lofty by this point was on the slippery slope and downing a pint in one didn’t help.

After a trek of 15 minutes to get to the ground we eventually got in and to be honest it wasn’t bad. Goff, Tretty and Lofty got as far as the bar and

 that is where they stayed. Fuck knows where Nobby and Glen went. Me and Smothy went to watch a bit of the game but got bored with that after

 about 5 minutes. At half time we found the others still in the bar. Lofty was fucked and Tretty was wandering about in a fake Burberry hat. For the

 second half they managed to get onto the terraces. Lofty needed a wall for support and Goff was giving it large behind the goal. At 6 – 2 I decided

 enough was enough and thought I would get an early train home. I wasn’t going to get pissed so I might as well get on my toes and leave the

 others to it as they were on the 2030 train. I managed to make the 1800 which was a result. I did text Lofty to make sure he was still alive and he

 text back so all was well. Great day again nice to see everyone from the BDC. Oh yes the footy fuck it that was not important but we did win 7-2 in

 the end.

All the best
