I went to Leyton Orient v Reading on Saturday - cracking game (Orient had two disallowed, hit the post, and Ballard scored a hat-trick), cracking atmosphere, better food and drink (Shepherd Neame and pie and mash), and easy to get to. This was part of ticking off every football league ground in London with my grown-up kids - just two to go - and one I'll definitely repeat. It was just really nice to have an enjoyable afternoon of football for a change. In the meantime, I'm going to watch South London's hipsters Dulwich Hamlet over the coming weeks, as I can walk there...

It will take me 40 minutes to get to the stadium and struggling to motivate myself, so well done anyone who travels down for this tonight. My dad passed away last week and I was reminiscing about him taking me to Filbert Street as a kid - this was my first game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV2XLUs3Tkw He was an Arsenal fan, but we'd moved to Loughborough from London, so I have him to thank for a lifetime of highs and lows...

Scrap that, bus replacement service that weekend, so it will be the car.

Does anyone know if they still lay on the shuttle bus from the railway station to the ground (and back). Haven't been to Southampton for a few years? No sign of my ticket yet either...
