Bat Fastard Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 We once flew from Stanstead to Newcastle to watch a match against Hartlepool. Nice harbour and ship - I believe called the Trincomalee or something like that. Too old for all that stuff these days - but, if I recall correctly, it was worth it because Brian Tinnion scored a scorcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Depends on the game in question; a bunch of us from Bristol City London Branch flew from Stansted to Newcastle when we played Hartlepool away. We had a great weekend, walked the Hartlepool coastline, drank at the local brewery pub, got a decent point and of course went back for the P.O game. Most on here will have recalled or heard about the home leg of that P.O Proper football, proper days out and committed fans who would have paid anything they could afford. In today's world of watching every game from the ease, comfort and effortless of their screens it all seems like hard work back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I’d pay £335 to fly out of Middlesborough, but not to fly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 When the Torquay keeper scored in the 95th minute I reckon they were regretting it, 40 minutes later when they’d won the shoot out and promotion with it I’m sure it was worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Redandproud not sure how you thought I looked bored at Whitchurch on Saturday. I could have gone to Barnstaple for a record fair but thought a round trip of five hours was not worth it Sunday was train model day at Exeter Boredom does not exist in my life.

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I'd pay £335 to fly to Middlesbrough in a fully bombed-up Lancaster. Unfortunately, judging by the state of the place, someone has beaten me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
