Football
Well, we went down to St Mary’s yesterday and watched Southampton v Blackpool, it was an excellent day out!
The day started with a stretch limo picking us up from home and taking us down there in style, we had a couple of bottles of fizz to help keep us going. We got there by 2.30pm and took advantage of the pie and pint for £5 offer, a pint of Tetleys and a chicken curry pie certainly hit the spot before the game!
3pm, we found our seats (row AA) and sat down to watch an actually pretty entertaining first half - hit woodwork and a goal from Stern John in the 34th minute which was enough in the end to take the win!
Half-time, a cup of coffee and a King Size Twix each kept us going and a return to the seats yielded a half-decent second half including a missed penalty for the Saints and a goal disallowed for Blackpool.
5pm or so, the final whistle goes and we troop out with the good feeling we’d witnessed a decent game and the Saints had an acceptable win under their belts so it was back to the limo for the ride home.
A detour to Asda for some beer and cheesecakes followed by a stop at the kebab van meant we wouldn’t go hungry so it was back to ours for food, drink and some reflection on a quality day!
All in, a quality day and I wouldn’t change a thing.. pictures to come as/when I have the energy to find the camera usb lead!
