What's your pre-match rituals?

[silverfox]

What do you usually do before the match?

I used to get there really early when I was young.

These days it's to get a parking space near to the ground.

We usually end up in the car park watching the players arrive and all the prawn sarnie brigade!

 

[Linz]

Going to get a Pork Special on French from Munchies on Shoreham street will be what I do pre-match today

 

[silverfox]

Yes I did see!

I also saw all the other greedies!

 

[Linz]

Very nice it was too

 

[silverfox]

Did you notice the new signs you've paid for?

 

[silverfox]

Went for a pork on french at the Boston match but Munchies was closed. Had to have chips instead!!!

[Keith Curle's tenant]

the old routine has changed a bit as some of the pubs changed over the years.

1: meet mates up
2: go to a few pubs finishing in the Royal Standard
3: get program
4: go inside and put bet on
5: something to eat to soak up the beer
6: take seat and get voice ready

 

[Linz]

Forgot to add... I usually get a flashing Blade if there's one out.

If Foxy pulls his finger out, this site will hopefully be advertised in the next FB

Not bought a copy of that for a while, infact I stopped buying programms for the past couple of seasons, I just read my mates at half time if he lets me.

 

[S64 Blade]

Typical home match

Just one of those like out of interest topics really.

What is your usual routine before the game etc? And what makes you feel like your at the match?

 

[silverfox]

Early to park the car.

Possible pork special on french at munchies.

Car park to say hello to Danny and Kabbs. (go on Linz)

Watch the warm up.

Clap them on.....yes you can!

Shout at the ref......ask anyone who sees me...lol!

Quick getaway.....but always after final whistle....not like dicks who go 10 mins early.

Bottle of wine etc......

Train at 1.18 from Swinton to Sheffield.
Arrive in Sheff at about 1.40.
Walk up to pub to meet mates.
Stay at pub until about 2.40
Get in ground - when i get in there always seem to be that club/rave tune(da hool) on.
Obviously watch match.
Usually go for a burger after about 10 mins in the 2nd half.

Well i live just up the road from BDTBL. So i set off at about 2:25 have a steady walk to BDTBL.

If it's pay on the gate i eventually manage to get in for a kid and go and look for 2 spare seats at the back of the kop. I love it back there where the singing starts.

Watch the game and when finished clap the players off and sing along with everyone else and have a walk home with one hell of a smile on my face. Well so far this season.

The perfect Saturday.

It is good at the back where the singing starts, sit just about at the back However you do get the occasional misery who tells you off for standing up!

Superblades there is always some room near me on the kop at back of gangway B, so your welcome to come up.

 

[Rodley]

Tonight it's an early dart from work then a battle through Leeds and Sheffield rush hour.

UTB

 

[SwissBlade]

Would love to say that i have a pre match ritual, but usually on a saturday i'm in that much of a rush trying to cram everything in to get to the pub or match on time that i don't get chance!

Night matches are a little more ritualised (if thats the right word) as we tend to get a Chinese on London Road with a couple of beers than head down.

 

[Minty]

Roll a spliff for the journey
Bomb down the M18-M1 to Sheff

Hopefully I won't be driving anywhere near the same roads as you if you're high as a kite.

[stringjunior]

Leave home too late, drive over from Marple too quickly, knock over a couple of sheep on Winnats Pass, head to my usual parking space, find it's occupied, scramble around to find an alternative, leg it to the ground. Then my mum's asks " nice drive over , love?" "Fine thanks....."

 

[CarlingBlade]

Mine is, 1.00pm pub for beers, 2.00pm box 6 for beers, 2.00-5.30pm beers in box 6, 5.30-7.00pm pub for beers, home and fall asleep on the sofa.
