As per the title really. What do you usually get up to on the day of a home Saturday fixture?
My pattern is as follows:
Usually finish work at 2am on Saturday morning, pack and get ready to leave for airport at 4.30 am. Perhaps set up the official match thread on here nice and early.
Arrive in Stansted at 8am, eat breakfast in the same restaurant, and get the bus to Southend at 9am.
After reaching the b&b, always take a walk down by the seafront and look at all the old spots i used to go to as a kid when living over there.
At 1 ish, jersey on and scarf / Flag in hand, head up Victoria Avenue towards the Spread and Roots Hall, absolutely buzzing with anticipation like a kid at Christmas.
After the match, sneaky pint or two, then some chips down the seafront, then off to get bamboozled at Mayhem.
Early Sunday - get the bus back to Stansted, and on the plane to Shannon
