you know, the small things. the trivial things that you enjoyed, made you smile etc.
when that millwall player was down injured for ages in the second half. it was dead silent and then this piercing shout of "give 'im a plaster!" came from a young kid sat a couple of rows behind us.
that coca-cola blimp thing with the massive town badge on would look great on the stratton bank (obviously without the coca-cola branding).
the build-up to the game was great. not the pre-match stadium bollocks but getting to the ground.
lots of leg room. great seats courtesy of christy.
i had a really good curry when i got home.

I got to see Swindon play at Wembley. Nothing was ever going to detract from that.

The general day was alright. That Eddies Bar pub was pretty decent. Good atmosphere and all. Good night out afterwards. Aside from the game it was a good day.

pre match banter was immense. tinnies outside the greyhound and the crack with other fans was fucking hilarious
driving up the m4 in the morning was good fun seeing all the red and white so much optimism heading east!!
post match takeout from blip blop was excellent as always

All round good day....a win would have made it a great day, but it's football and shit happens. Saw loads of random people...some old faces others current, but no TEFers...maybe just as well, given the negativity on here  The Hoover building on the A40, in a decent light....art deco masterpiece, brilliant. |

Drinking before breakfast.
The pub beforehand.
Taking a mate's son to his first game at Wembley.
Seeing the lads come out on to the pitch.
The copper who tried to vault a fence at the tube, and ended up on his arse.

I'm with sonic, no queues for food/drink  I've been Wembley before but to see Swindon there for the first time was great. Stopping off at a beefeater near Slough for a few drinks at £1.99 a pint |

True, but if it helps the thing not get bulldozed I can live with it. |
