It's a long long way

I got into town early enough to take the opportunity for a mooch. Something that is always nicest when it’s quietest. You get to admire the architecture better. New and old. “Tramlines aren’t just something used in tennis” I was joined by Mikey as I checked the train times. He’d been down to Lord’s the…… Continue reading 11/8/18 Middlesbrough v Blues. Gardner’s World, With The Ugly Sisters.

I was feeling flat, but still kind of excited at the same time. If nothing else, would my new season ticket card work? Technology is only ever useful, when it works properly, and it has a history of not working the first time. I was feeling flat, because it was Blues. It might have been…… Continue reading 4/8/18 Blues v Norwich City, Registering My Displeasure.

I’d taken to waking up before the alarm going off, with the routine grind of work. The noise of the alarm then, was a shock to the system.

League Cup Group Stage. “A Sentence Starts With A Capital”

In a time before live football on the telly, bar the F.A.Cup final and the annual scrap with Scotland. Every game was to be televised. Not…… Continue reading Between 9 & 10, 11 got bought off.

This was my 60th game of the season, and my last. I would’ve taken in more, had it not been for. . . . . . . you can guess the rest, before I bore you anymore than I already have done. This might have been my 60th, but it was the first women’s game…… Continue reading 20/5/18 Blues Ladies v Reading Women. Well that’s another one over.

On the bus into town, I was struck by some strange nerves. It might have been the last game of the season and only a win would guarantee another season in the Championship, but I couldn’t have cared less, which division we’d have been in, with the outcome of the results. I’d still be purchasing…… Continue reading 6/5/18 Blues v Fulham. Deja Vu. . . . . . . Again.
