pompey and plymouth being 2 id like to tick off, depending on who comes up ive got about 8 to do complete league 1 for the current season
You've never done Pompey?? I've been there about 5 or 6 times I think. Back in the day our games v Pompey were stuff of legend. Really want to do Plymouth. Once heard one of ours say "you do Carlisle and Plymouth and then fill in the dots in between". Well I've done Carlisle, so once I've done Plymouth I can come out with the same line and claim it as my own.
unfortunately not was meant to do a pre season freindly a few seasons back but never got to it as had quite a bad chest infection always wanted to go, as grandad was a royal marine so spent a lot of time around portsmouth if we was on a saturday wouldnt mind getting down a little earlier and taking a look round the dockyard etc, would be nice in the august sun, me saying that nailed on a December Tuesday night. also only started doing away's 4/5 years ago.
Fair enough. I'm well in to 60 plus away grounds now but I'm in my early 40's and have been doing always with Millwall since I was about 13. In fact, I've slowed right down now and only really do a few a season these days. Kids, self employed, etc etc. Done a good chunk of those 60 odd grounds when I was a young un, with out a care in the world. Going away with Millwall was great as a teenager/young adult and quite often started on the Friday night and didn't finish until Sunday evening.
Probably the way many of us used to do awaydays when we were younger ... I couldn't do it now!!!
Took me about 3 days to recover from Spurs away this season and that was a one day event! How I used to do it in my younger days is beyond me. Sometimes I used to get in on a Monday morning, get changed and go straight to work. Just thinking about that gives me a hangover these days.
