KevinC Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I share the feelings of many that this week has been a very long time indeed. Here we are, the day before the great day itself, with just one more evening to go. It's all so near yet still so far, so how will you spend this last night waiting for the hours to pass until you climb onto the combine, bus, train or car and head onto the road to Wembley? I'll be taking my daughter to a sleep over, watch a bit of telly and try to get an early night - though I'll be amazed if I manage to sleep!

madmax Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Leaving work at 2:30pm. Over to Temple Meads to pick up my Nephew who's coming up from Devon. Pop home and shower the kids (got home late last night so didn't bother...pheewww!) then popping down the Robins for a few pints with the family and play some pool. Get a chinese across the road from the Robins. Get home, watch some TV. Go to bed about 10:00pm and doze off with the news on ready for up at 5:30am for the 7:00am train. I was up at 5:30am this morning just because I was! I'm a bit of a hyper wreck this morning, so I hope people keep out of my way!!!! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 A few light ales after work in The Savoy, followed by some of The West Country's finest cider quaffed from crystal goblets in my Middlesex Mansion before retiring to my private quarters with a bevvy of beautiful ladies on a pile of £50 notes. Well...not quite, pub near The Savoy, few cans of Blackthorn at home then bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeperRed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Out for dinner with friends tonight. Will have to spend a couple of hours trying to make polite conversation (which probably means not going on about the match ) Then home, make sure my freshly washed shirt is dry for tomorrow... bed... and stare at the ceiling for 8 hours until I get up and ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukejones2 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Got a plane at 8pm, lands Sat morning at 10am. I can't sleep on planes but I'm going to pump myself full of sleeping pills. I still won't sleep, but I will feel slightly drugged up so it makes the whole experience a little more bearable... will be drinking a couple of alcoholic beverages and praying for no delays!

Percy Parrot Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 mate's birthday party out in London. No-one will care about football or Bristol City which is ideal.

Jungle Jim Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Last season's promotion DVD! Should have an early night as got to be up for the 6am train, but as if anyone's going to be able to sleep tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aller g Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 i was waking every hour last night thinking about the game. which has never happened before. So, a few bevvies in bedminster with the brother and then early(ish) night. i thought work would be going slow but its passed rather quick, plus i've just blagged a half 3 finish. It's that time where you start to dread something going wrong. So enough blackthorn to relax, and fall asleep is on the cards. fingers crossed for an easy night, and a great day tomorrow.

PLYMRED Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Finish work at 3.00 on the dot. Down the local to bounce around and annoy the plastic supportes of Man U etc who just can't get there head around why I am so excited d (any city in Plymouth who fancy an afternoon/early evening pint I will be in the Prince Maurice) Home time 8ish for a large tot or two then hopefully something decent to watch on the box to waste away a couple of hours. Try to sleep (cue another tot! if required!) then down to railway station for 6.55 train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunningdalered Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Got a works booze cruise tonite - the social equivalent of coca-cola megaphones and mexican waves at football matches IMO - but trying to see it as a few pre-match drinks to get nice and relaxed for tomorrow. My work colleagues know I'm an EE regular, and I swear some of them keep talking to me to try ang get some (any) info on the team, and how to behave tomorrow, so they wont look such *****. If you hear a chorus of 'one danny wilson' or 'tinman plays for city' break out tomorrow..that'll be them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenheadred Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Going to a mates place in Clapham for the night. any other sh*theads out in Londinum this evening.... aswell as Kev in Covent Garden! I know i'm going to need quite a large amount of alcohol to sleep tonight! I am that mate in Clapham - lets have a "PRE-Premier League DRINKING SESSSIIIOOOONNNNN" in Clapham! there will already be 4 City fans there, "Canyon Monkey" from the forum will be popping in to pick up tickets and have a pint. Why not get more, eh? Pub is the Bread and Roses, half way down Clapham Manor Street. You get there from Clapham North or Clapham Common tube; walk down Clapham High Street - turn down the street by KFC, and its half way down. Was Evening Standard's 1998 Pub of the Year, so was great once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
