There are reasons why i haven't made it to Plainmoor yet and i maybe could and should have been there already but thats the way it is although i'm a bit embarrassed having supported them for so long and not been.
Anyway, hopefully i'll be forgiven and be greeted on the popside with open arms. I'm making a weekend of it, driving down in the battered Picasso and staying in a guest house in Babbacombe.
If i may trouble the TQ1 based yellow army for some advice then it would be most appreciated. Firstly, not knowing in intimate detail the layout of Plainmoor my decision on where to stand / sit kind of relies on what you guys say. Those that have met me know i like to sing, wave a scarf about and have the odd bizarre rant and with that in mind would it be more appropriate for me to go and stand on the popside? I am led to believe that the popside is an area of terracing along one side of the ground and it is where all the singers and banter goes. If i'm wrong then please put me right. Is the popside down the side of the ground that Boots and Laces is on or on the other side?
Secondly, is the ground walkable from the main road in babbacombe and if so how long will it take me to get to Plainmoor?
Thirdly, is there anything around the ground such as shops, pubs, bookies?
Fourthly, how much is it to get in the popside and can i just pay on the gate?
Finally, it would be great to meet up with some of you guys before the game, i'll be on my own and probably a bit intimidated out of my comfort zone but it would be good to meet some of you at last and maybe you can save a space for me on the terrace?! I'm pretty much just a normal everyday northerner with austrian tattoos!
Cheers anyway and i hope to see you all soon and i can't wait!!! Roll on saturday!!!!!
Get tha' A ta' Z aht, then use in conjunction with street view and tha' will be al' reet c*ck.
