It's a trip down to the big smoke for me on Monday, 5 of us are going from Burton and for the other four it will be their last visit to the Boleyn ground. ( the gooners game MAYBE my last visit ).

    One of my mates suggested we pop down to the Millwall game afterwards as Burton Albion are at the Asylum.. Great about 1,000 + midlanders wearing yellow & black and 5 muppets in Claret & Blue. Still we get to see PDC and Deano ( wish he was still playing ) I'm in the lower TB stand row BB...hope it a great day

Betway lower seat 208, come & say hi.
It`s my daughters 1st experience of what her dad has been obsessed with for over 50 years :o) .

What a fantastic day at the Boleyn yesterday along with 35,000 hammers watching some of the old guard have one last run out on the hallowed turf. Ok the game was tippy tappy but that didn't matter. For the first time and last I was in the away end of the TB lower, Seeing families old and new at the Boleyn was a joy to see.

    Also a joy to see was Dean Ashton goal, boy I miss him on the pitch ( if only )....Adrian goal was something out of American football with 3 players blocking the opposition right up to the other end. The goal for me or what came after brought the house down Sakho getting his phone out AFTER he scored and taking a selfie along with the keeper who let the goal in. The day was rounded of for me and my mate with a meal at Nathan's the queue before the game was unbelievable. it wasn't too bad after but after three people behind us they said no more they'd ran out of pies.....To some that was the last visit the Boleyn, me unless I can sort something out for the Swansea game it looks like the Gooner's match will be my last at the old ground.........got back at 9pm ( 12 hrs altogether ) cracking day

Same here Woolly1 by the time we'd left the ground, took a few photo's at the statue, queued up for 1/2 hr at Nathan's and spent the best part of 3/4 hr getting out of a car park near the town hall getting to the north circular for the M 11 M25 / M1 150 odd miles later it was around 9pm I got in.....worth it though
