Tbf most Man U fans have to leave Reading pretty early to make the kick off most weeks
Spare a thought for Nugent, he had to clean the back garden, do the dishes and clean the kitchen, wash the kitchen floor and tidy the attic before the long drive to his beloved old Trafford, all this with a hangover too, that's dedication.
Well what about the Excelsior fans who have had to travel 16,500km today.
I left the Cotswolds at 7:30am to get to the game. I wish I hadn't bothered....
The Reading coaches could have departed at 6:30am in reality. The drive home took a lot longer than the drive there.
Compare that to Excelsior fans who had to travel 20,500km today!
