Junior slops gets back home for xmas Friday so we're driving down sarf, he's keen to get back on the Prem bandwagon (though on paper he's not missed a game - nudge nudge wink wink say no more...
Thanks to the Hamble Terrier who I've got to know recently (that's the few times I've met him when sober) who apparently works about 10 mins away from the St Mary Whitehouse Stadium so we can use his company parking lot apparently, free and decent for getting out past the station up towards the M27. I'm under instructions for a rapid return for Junior's planned pub crawl of Burton a town with more than a pub or two it must be said - students!
Smart ground, good atmosphere with their noisy lot to our right, never a happy hunting ground from memory -dont think I've missed any our games V Saints including that miserable League Cup game at the old place when Le Tis dismantled us on his own. I drove back that night (wasnt even my car - you could do that back then) my mate fell asleep before we got out of Soton and woke at Flockton 2pm then went home for more ZZZs - where I looked like death warmed up the next morning for work at 7am.
Hoping for brighter times over the Xmas period bouyed by the Watford performance and hopefully some belief in the squad (and management) that having a proper go and playing in the opponents half is easier than defending for 80% of the time.
Doesn't look like a sell out Saturday, Leicester too by the sounds so seats available and shouldn't be a need to sit in designated seats unless they bring the wallpaper roll in closer to box us all in that bit more.
Whatever, I'm confident those travelling will give it a good go to match the atmosphere we enjoyed in Hertfordshire last weekend.
