Enjoy the game tomorrow, especially if you are going, but even if you are watching on telly (me and my boy) or watching a stream. A few years back when we lost 1-0 (2002?) I was really plastered and a friend of a friend had a ticket for me. I flew in on the red eye that morning and got to the ground which was cordoned off by the old Bill checking tickets. My friend rang the bloke who had my ticket as Mr Plod was about to throw me in the back of the meat wagon. It was my lucky day because he was close by, saw what was happening and ran up with my ticket. I can't remember much about the game, but sobered up enough to have a really interesting conversation with Ian Holloway in the players bar after the game (my friend got passes from one of the fake hoops players). Then I got pished again.
The Canadian news media were having fun with this story yesterday - the scene of the crime, Wool, located near Reading. Let's hope we also don't get fleeced tomorrow.
