    Just got home

    That was a great day even though we lost. My first ever visit to the CCS. Started going to Ninian Park maybe about 1964 /65 as a young boy but for the last 20 years I have been living in Cambridge and a combination of my shifts, her shifts, kids and money meant that we were never able to get to a home game since the new stadium opened. Now retired so we should be able to get to a few more.

    We always buy a club membership so always get to the away games that are closest to us. Norwich, Ipswich, Peterborough (last week), Watford, QPR, Reading etc. Even Colchester and Lincoln when we were down in the basement. Will be at the Forest game too.

    I lived in Cambridge for a few years. It's long trip to South Wales and back!

    one of a trek for a home game

    Re: Just got home

    We drove down Friday morning, took just over 6 hours with the bank holiday traffic. Stayed in the Maltsters in Llandaff, £125 a night but at least she paid for that. Going back we stopped in Bedminster for 30 minutes to see my sister. Had to put up with my Bristol brother-in-law in his red shirt. I phoned her in the morning to get me a box of pies from the Bristol Clarkes Pie shop.

    Fair play, that's quite a journey! So glad you had a great day, contrary to how I may sound at times, I love going to matches and CCS. Don't eat all the pies!

    Glad you could get to the game which was a more entertaining one than your typical home match despite the result - we didn’t hoof it as much as we normally do either.

    Someone mentioned after the Peterborough match that those treks to the east of England often take longer than the ones to the north of the country, I know what they mean.
