Best Pre-Game Drink-Ups?

All the talk of the upcoming "jolly boys" to Wembley has got me thinking about some of the best pre-game drink ups that I've had.

 

- NLBR on the day we all broke up from work before Christmas at lunchtime - never seen the Nova Scotia so rammed & loud

 

- Wycombe away - the pissbus trips to the White Hart in Wycombe several times. Anyone who's ever been will know what I mean

 

- Brighton in the PO Final at the Millenium. Amazing pre-game atmos on the train & in the Walkabout. Seemed to evaporate on entering the stadium though. Still got my Tony Rougier mask somewhere (probably)

 

- Stoke in the LDV (or whatever) in 2000. Arguably the best City day out ever despite the result. Scenes in the car park at Wembley involving Sam Mason & the Stoke Chairman's Rolls Royce!

 

Here's to a decent & safe trip to North London in March - let's hope we're bringing back the first silverware of the season to BS3!

I enjoyed the drinks before the Carlisle game at The Millennium Stadium. I was seeing nobbing some bird who lived just walking distance away and was proper filth so I set off after my fry up and came back absolutely steaming. 

 

Seem to remember a fruit machine going over the top floor balcony of the 'spoons that day....

This is a difficult one.

Most away days have been quality piss ups.

The funniest times are usually at the most obscure matches.

Chesterfield away being cancelled at 10ish but a good 30 of us already at Derby, turned into one of those crazy away days that involved Millwall v Stoke, Zulus going to west brom, a life size Elvis and finally being escorted out of Cheltenham by a riot van at about 11pm.

Crazy day out.

Games that are postponed often lead to a good day / night out. In the 1970s I went to London to watch a City game, but heard it was off just as we were on the outskirts. Then went to watch Fulham, but discovered that was also off, when we reached the ground. I can't remember who City were due to play, or what we did after Fulham, but got home about midnight. The lack of memory must mean it was a great day.

Reading (THAT year ) ,great drink,pizza Landlord, entire coach arrestedo. They let us in as I said we had no other way of getting home. After the game when plenty had jumped the train they just let us go.

Swindon away 19?? Locked in the County ground hotel,interesting. City in one bar them in the other.

Surely the best pre-match piss-ups are the one's we don't remember.

 

Like the guy who got on the train still pissed from his 21st the night before and entered Home Park between two mates, with his feet just off the ground.

 

Anyone who's seen "Albert, RN" will get the idea.

Not an away game, but cardiff at home on a Sunday morning, 98? Remember meeting ar Seamus ODonnells at 9 and the the amount of cjty turning up in their town gear was hilarious. A policie sergeant with a loud inhaler was shh'd down as one of the all nighters was trying to tell a story, coppers face was a peach.

Any away trip that picks up at the hippodrome, Castros, Larwrence Weston, in that order.

Bakes, what about Notts County away in 1990. Absolute. Freaking. Carnage.

 

Forgot about that one, somebody kicked the side door off the mini bus, the door punctured the back tyre as it fell off.

 

Can remember the team coach going past and Joe Jordon looking on as i was retrieving the side door from the grass verge.

 

Had to tie the door on with scarves. Madness
