Home leg today, excitement creeping in. Just finishing my brew then I will start the 3 hour drive from the fens. I'll stop halfway and then park up in Charlton. Nip to Blackheath for some food and then back to The Valley to soak up the atmosphere.
Anyone travelling from further away and if so from where. If by rail, engine numbers are mandatory 😵‍💫

    I'm a Blue Badge user and usually use the yellow lines at the top of Charlton Lane, thinking that I will need to pitch up double early to get on them. Hmm.

    Hopefully, on the 4PM train to get enough time to enjoy the build up around the ground. 

    Will be incredibly tight timing to get the last train home if it goes to penalties for me. At least there will be enough of us to split the cost of a taxi if that happens to be the case.

    12:37 from Wargrave to Greenwich, meeting mate from Northamptonshire for a long lunch and enough beer to relax us before we take our seats. The last time I was this nervous yet excited, I think it ended with an apology and "This has never happened to me before"

    Car journey up from my village in Kent to park as close as possible to where I was conceived, born and lived for 20-odd years in Sherington Road. It’s where it all began.

    Leave around 6.15-6.30. Bus to Lee Green, then bus to the Royal Standard & finally bus to the ground. 

    Hopefully be there for 7.30-7.45. Cutting it fine perhaps but I'm not one for "savouring the atmosphere".

    My son is being collected from school in Sheringham and getting driven to Norwich station and put on a London train. I’m getting on that train to join him at Manningtree, then we’re heading to The Valley. Haven’t quite worked out the plan for getting him back to school tomorrow!
