Alexikokopops Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 How are you going to fit in the delights of the Reading nightlife with a schedule like that? Delightful though they may be, I get to kill two birds with one stone with the current schedule. Annie has accepted that there'll be a six hour period on the Saturday when I dissappear. Reading nightlife will have to wait for weekends with away games
Tabou Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 This weekend : - Get to bed about 2-3am after friday night shananigans. wake at 9am, full english, hair of the dog . Watch soccer am. Watch Saturday Kitchen. Shower, and shower well, as I am trying to stay out for 15 hours.... Meet Smuts at some point between 1 and half past for drinks. Hopefully see some other FT ers. Game. Celebrate our 5-1 Victory. Out on the lash to celebrate Smut's birthday. Meet friends, go to fanclub. Avoid being arrested at 2am, get burger by 2.30am in bed for 3am. Cool as jazzzz
morris1234 Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 i have 5 lucky tickets in my wallet, the most recent being forest in the cup last year!
Sods Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Wake up at 12. Cry because ive missed soccer am. Down 3 pints of water. Still Pissed from night before. Go to game at half 12, hangover kicks in till half 2. Have a suddern urge to bet on Leicester. WERE GONNA WIN 4-1 I CAN FEEL IT! During game, try to see the fun side and laugh at other people. Have a sing song, shout at the ref. Go home, get hammered, wonder why I bother, then shout at some glory hunting tarts, and realise why I bother. Stagger home.
renards Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Only twice if I want to see all the goals we're promising. It's about 8.7% proof is Barbars. I did try three once and spent 10 minutes on the pavement outside the hospital trying to persuade a beautifully tall and slender lamp-post to join me in the Kop. Jobber?
Corky Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Wake up with apprehension of the day ahead Get the train, change at Ely or Peterborough Go to the match, get very worked up, annoyed with the bloke behind me Go home Fall asleep

Find out its buses, so get a train to Derby and then a train from Derby to Leicester. Arrive in Leicester at 11:30 for a Hockey match. Play Hockey at 12:30 Finish at 2pm. Quick shower. Mad rush to the ground. Couple of beers after the game. Head back to Birmingham.

Daggers Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Find out its buses, so get a train to Derby and then a train from Derby to Leicester. I'm trying this on the 23rd - I still bear the psychological wounds from my marathon 2.5hr/3.5hr return journey last season (involving getting lost three times, trying to drive down the pedestrianised area by the Mailbox, attempting to return to Brum by driving to Kettering and having the toilet locked both ways because "otherwise people are always using it").
Bernie's Love Child Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Wake up - nervous and hungover Soccer AM - perv over soccerette Start watching Sir Jeff Stelling Put on citeh shirt Watch Premier League Lunchtime game first half with cup of sweet tea in me citeh mug Walk to the ground half time of premier league game buy programme watch second half in the ground with chicken balti pie and pint - chicken and mushroom pie on a weeknight game!

Interesting, i've never had an issue doing it.
Jay Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 i have 5 lucky tickets in my wallet, the most recent being forest in the cup last year! as we are currently at the lowest point ever may I suggest those tickets are not exactly lucky and maybe a fresh start is needed!! otherwise if it's another season of desperation and misery then I am holding you responsible!!
Sparky Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 This saturday involves 11 am meet in o neills for breakfast and read of the papers , followed by trip to the bookies , followed by a another pub stop of either The Swan and Rushes or the Gateway followed by a tremendous 3-0 victory followed by few more sherbets for Smutts birthday . Although he is still far better known as LFF !!
Thracian Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Do they serve that in the Swan? I shall not drink it. They do indeed. It's a Belgian honey-beer which tastes like Heaven's own nectar and has the quality of making nothing matter a damn, even when it does. I'm glad you won't be touching it. Supplies seem hard enough come by as it is.
C-man Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 LD3 and Ched will remember I wore a ushanka hat for 3 games in a row last year (Blackpool, Plymouth and Watford), and we lost each game. The hat now sits firmly locked away in my wardrobe never to be worn again at a football game. Oh, and I always go in the same turnstile where we last had a good result at home. But that's it.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 My favourite ever matchday routine was 2002/03: Midday - wake up in Oadby, still pissed from the night before. 2pm - attempt to catch bus to Walkers. If sick en route from JCR to bus queue, return to bed. This season it will be something along the lines of: Leave Northampton just before 10am, drive to Walkers, put up bloody big flag, drive to pub, Red Stripe (1 pint thereof), go to game, drive home. I really need to move to Leicester.
lavrentis Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Get up Breakfast Drive to Leicester with my Dad complaining about the prices of Petrol Watch Leicester Go Home FoxesTalk
James. Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 Leave home. Push and shove my way through London. Get to St. Pancras late. Miss train. Get next train. Meet Foxestalk people in pub. Watch game. Cry inside. Get train. Drink. Drunkenly push and shove my way through London. See girlfriend. Push and shove her. Get drunk. Go bed.
mancunianfox Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 At least when we lose on Saturday you know that you won't have spent three hours on a coach to get there and three hours on a coach to get back.... Getting up at 6...back in Manchester at 11 in the evening to go out and try and stay up until 6 on Sunday.
