D 3-3 vs Newport County (A) - League Two - Fri 20th Oct, 7:45pm

Last time we went to Newport it was rained off, we had hired a sherpa van to take 14 of us
So when we got there to find out the game was off, we went into a little pub near to the ground, and we were a little boisterous, the landlady told us to quieten down or get thrown out. so i said i would put a record on the jukebox for her to show there was no hard feelings
Then the whole pub erupted into laughter when the old Chas and Dave classic " rabbit rabbit" came on :joy:
10 minutes later we were out on our arse being shoved into the van by about 20 coppers with a few dogs :joy:
So some bright spark said " let’s not spoil the day and go to Worcester for the night"
WELL
We started off in an old style pub and one of the regulars started to lick coins and stick them to his head and came round with a cap to collect money for this amazing trick :joy:
Then a load of traveller women came in and started to play us up, and one of the lads fell backward off his stool and one of the traveller girls came over and sat on his face :joy:
Just at the moment the traveller lads came in :joy:
Anyway we got thrown out of there.
So being as there are about 100 pubs in Worcester, it didn’t take long to find another boozer, but by this time the 14 had dwindled down to about 12? they couldn’t get home in the van, which we had had to back up to a wall to park it, because some smart arse had kicked one of the doors off it’s hinges to enable us to get a couple of park benches in so they had something to sit on in the back.
At the end of the night out of the 14 i think there were about 10 going back in the van, some had got arrested for public order offences and Micky Fin was arrested for carrying his half drunk glass of lager with him to the next pub
Andy walsh of the Bloxwich funeral directors said that if we were ever running another trip anywhere to another game, then please don’t ask him to come, he said we were withought doubt the biggest group of nutters he had ever met :joy:
And when the van hire company got the van back, with the 2 concrete and wooden benches in the back, minus a door and 2 windscreen wipers, which came off when one of the lads jumped onto the front as we pulled off because he had taken too long to take a pee :joy:
They told us never to come back for a hire vehicle again :joy:

Oh the joys of the old days :joy:

I wonder if this will go ahead. Weather forecast for Newport says light rain but i never trust the forecasts

Hoping so, and the forecast in Newport different to here rain stopping early afternoon so a bit different to the midlands, but as you say can’t rely totally on the forecasts.

Off topic but I see that Brechin City are due to be at home tomorrow. Suspect that might be off!

The famous hedge will protect them

Are they actually selling tickets for the uncovered stand or is can 300 or so fit in the touchline bit you get?

Given how bad the weather is today that’s the criteria sorted for who should have first dibs for Sheppey tickets if anyone is brave enough to sit there tonight!

They were selling them undercover down the side first c350 of them available before opening behind the goal. I guess we should just about be ok down the side and not need behind the goal judging by the pre match sales figures they’ve posted

My Old man has gone as well.

Wonder if Newport will turn the sprinklers on…

We’ve just passed j7 on the M5:and it’s positively tropical…although it’s going to be chucking it down in Newport, according to the forecast
