So to Tuesdays replay. It's going to be cold, very cold with the wind chill factor taking it to -4 by the end of 90 minutes, never mind extra time
Then there's the risk of extra time, penalties etc
I then have to get back to Marylebone to pick the car up followed by a drive of at least 45 minutes to get home.
Then I get up at 3.45 am for work
So, allowing for worst case scenario I should be home by about 12.30-1am with a maximum of 3 hours sleep
Now,I'm asking myself, should I go to the match or should I stay at home ? For better or worse the little devil whispering go to the game is winning the battle. Hope it's worth it 049:gif
Quick question, if you come from Egham can't you get the train directly to Putney to and from the game to save a massive diversion? I'm sure i've been on a train which goes past Egham when coming from Woking to Putney?
and have a Bovril :yay:

Normally I could Tomo but I work in Marylebone until 6 and don't fancy trying the rush hour traffic and finding parking round the ground. Plus I have to use the car for work as I start at 5.30 am so too early for public transport
I've moved as a one off to the riverside stand. I can then see the game from a different perspective. I hope it is lucky

Always the way, make sure you pack a flask of bovril and your long johns! Good luck mate
Ticket bought for the JH so no going back now !
I can't go to this, that will be 4 home games in a row, I won't make.
I'm suffering withdrawl symptoms.
Better than the flu symptoms I'll get :005:
What job requires you to work from 5.30 a.m. To 6.00 p.m.? You are working excessive hours and not getting enough sleep if that is what you do regularly.
Security/reception. My hours are 6-6 but depending on green traffic lights I get in 5.30-5.40 . It's only 60 hours a week so part time for a Yorkshireman really :005:

was there for the Wolves game as took a friend and the Riverside feels very very cold compared to my usual JH seat. Probably psychological due to the comparative openness, but it's good to watch a game there even though it feels strange compared to your normal seat.
Go and enjoy a win against a prem side. Then we face Bradford and if we win that, just think about it - you will have been there when we kicked off a run to the final!

Welcome to the Riverside, decent views & clean toilets! As there'll be a small crowd you should be able to move closer to the centre & up to the elevated section at kick-off. This panoramic view is by far the best in the ground. Enjoy.
But look the prize could be a trip to an even colder , snow covered Bradford on a Sunday.
