....with away matches this year.
I've done about 70 'live' grounds now. However since retiring I can only afford to do grounds I've not yet done. In other words...ticks. this season me wife and dog have really gone for it, taking cottages for a few nights or a week whilst I tick off a ground. On a couple of occasions this has involved me meeting up with friends who've taken a hotel for the Friday and Saturday. However, have I got a win under my belt?....not a sodding chance. OK, a win against Barrow pre-season but that's been it. Once the season got going we did Exeter (0-0), great trip, including a cathedral. Oxford (Hotel with friends). Another good weekend (1-1). Then a week in North Norfolk for the Cambridge match (1-2). And finally to Cheltenham. A week in a lovely cottage in Bourton-on-the-Water, interrupted by a nightmare evening in Cheltenham (0-2).
That's it. No more this term. Wife and dog love these weeks. Me, less so.
