Journeys home

So what were your experiences on the way home?
I was in Coach B on the 18:30 from Swansea and it was absolutely rockin!! All that singing on the underground was amazing aswell. A truly special day.

I was outside the ground waiting for Park n ride coach till 6.15 by which time the Swansea players were leaving in their cars and getting some stick from us as they did so. Each Southend supporters coach left to rappturous mutual applause from the remaining hoardes of Shrimpers !! . I turned and asked me mate if we had lost it as we were standing there applauding a coach !!!! What a day !!!!

We were on the first Park and ride out of the ground and was a great touch to be applauded away from Swansea fans.

We then stopped off at a pub in Bristol for a meal and a few drinks before getting back to Southend at 1ish. Lager + long journey = loads of Service Stops.

I was on the second park and ride coach out of the ground, and also thought it was a nice touch to be applauded as we left. Although there was a few jealous twerps who gave us the two fingers etc

Found the park and ride no probs!

Stopped off at Reading services and was congratulated by the manager in Ladbrokes betting shop. He seemed a top bloke and was asking about Freddy etc.

He said are we gonna do a Reading next season, i said "i hope so".

I had one bet in there on a dog at Sittingbourne. There was no form on show, so just had to go on the names. There was this dog called All Blue, so i just had to back it. It came second @ 9/2. Oh well can't win 'em all!!

We are going up!!!

Enjoyed the day lots!!! I'll remember it forever

UP THE BLUES!

Car full of happy Shrimpers made our way back down the motorway.....i was the only one awake by the time we got about 10 miles the right side of the bridge!

Fortunately it was me driving....i had to sing to myself for the rest of the journey

I caught the 159 to Neath (getting off near Llansamlet station) on which I chatted to a few Swans fans who enjoyed the game (and congratulated us) then walked the final few 100 yards home and sat glued to SSN for the rest of the evening

Was on that too, was loads of Southend on there. We were in the quiet coach

It was funny when we were doing the conga, and as soon as we got into first class the train manager kicked up a stink and said we couldn't do it in there!

Some good singing on the tube back, a bit of Paul Simon's You Can Call Me Al and "London is sh!t", quality.

watched the celebrations, drove home from the car park and the wife had tea on the table for 18.00, stunning!

I had to stop at the Buffet carriage to catch my breath and wait for you guys to come back again  

Lets hope for some more amazing away trips again next season.
