Well you will go round looking for trouble!!!! We did eventually find somewhere (if you recently hadn't had typhoid jabs you were taking a risk to enter)... but sure Diego will tell you all about it.

Recommended Handy if staying at the Premier Inn, but not near Roots Hall though. P.S. Didn't you go in the Fish House this time?

Was it still open? Just parked up and made our way in as we'd eaten at the Strawberry Field place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we went to the Nelson as advised by Seasider, which as you approached had a side door saying 'Away fans'. The three of us wandered in and there were about five or six Tics there, and the other side looked full and buzzing. Thinking the 'Away fans' sign could just mean away fans were welcome in the whole pub, we walked round to the main entrance and upon walking in I swear the whole place quietened down a notch. Seriously never had as many stares, glares and mutterings anywhere I've been before. The three of us looked at eachother and nodded at the door and hastily moved out, whilst someone said something to us that I couldn't make out in a broad Essex accent but certainly wasn't 'Enjoy the game'. As we got back to the other side a handful more Tics had arrived, including D_S to tell us the story that everyone will be regaled with later...

STORY! After all this unwarranted excitement, it's bound to be an anti-climax when you read it. Expect another Yantarno signing and then you won't be disappointed,,,,,,er perhaps I should have come up with another name. Stay calm. Everything comes to those who wait.
