Right then, my account of the day. Went with Sports option as a day trip. One of only three females on the plane. At Stansted at 6am, so had breakfast at the airport. Was shocked to see guys drinking beer with theirs, goodness knows what state they were in by the end of the day. Coach dropped us off at the stadium and we had a quick look in the shop. Then went into town for a bite to eat, then met up with friends in the main square. Had a drink in the Wenkers Bar (yes, really!). Made way back to the stadium, supporters all in good voice, but I always worry that they would sing themselves out before the game (no worries this time). Was in the ground about 40 minutes before kick off. Couldn't understand why they sing 'You'll never walk alone' before a game. Thought we out sung the yellow wall - was expecting so much more from them. Don't know if it was because we were quite a distance from them but apart from when they scored, could hardly hear them. When we sang 'The Thing I like most is being a Yid' for about 20 minutes, and chorus after chorus of 'Glory, Glory Hallelujah' knew that it was going to be a special night. My only complaint was that we didn't sing a song for Sonny when he scored. When we left the ground, there was no segregation, didn't see any problems with rival supporters, all seemed very friendly. Went back to the coach and found one of our party had a tad too much to drink, had fallen over and cut his head and ended up missing his flight home and got taken to hospital.
With regards to the game, well you all saw it. When we play well, it is a joy to witness. Although we went one behind, I felt quite confident that we would get back into the game. Excellent team performance, the management and coaching staff have given us a team that we can be proud of.
