I think football is much better when it revolves around drinking.
When I remember having a season ticket for about 6-7 years it was a drag, particularly doing London and back in a day - and losing. The last time I had a season ticket and didn’t drive, I went with a mate of a mate and missed the last train, then missed the replacement buses (back to Donny), then got a taxi, fell asleep, woke up sailing past my junction on the motorway, he wouldn’t stop but he soon stopped when I filled his taxi with puke, never seen anyone that Angry. What a crap end to the season, walking 5 miles back home at 1 am, covered in freezing puke I think paul okon was playing that season, Okon, Butler, Gregan.

What a shithole that place was and probably still is. I ended up working back up there after a year back in Leeds and was introduced to most of you by Alan Dellow who used to give me a lift down for some of the matches. Fond memories of list meets in The Britannia and the away trips to Barcelona and Madrid. I think I almost fell off the back row of the Nou Camp and was so pissed up by kick off I don't remember the game at all. Almost as bad a view as you get at Newcastle in the away end these days. Also remember a trip to The Riverside with a list meet in Darlington pre-game. After the game, a single Boro fan took on about 10 of us asking where our firm was and to come back tomorrow for a fight. Games were fun then, I've stopped going now as my mates can't even be arsed to go for a drink before/after. What's the point?
