Finally back home from the game.
Late decision to travel by train so walked to station setting off at 6 am,
arriving in Boro just before midday via Peterborough and York.
Managed to get into the booked hotel room in time to drop off gear and walk to first pub by 2 pm with Mrs DG, my brother and his wife and join 4 Boro fans.
When landlord asked my brother if he was a season ticket holder to get discount on match day beer he said yes but a Norwich one and got it.
Sadly the promised pub tour did not materialize so we got taken to a LLoyds Nr 1 but a least a pint of Doombar was only £ 1.79.
We got into the ground by 5.20 and joined the 1400 away fans by singing throughout the entire game.
We were in upper tier but still had a great view of the goal and the players celebrated right in front of us.
The entire away support stayed until the home fans had disappeared to sing and take part in usual Farke wave and see Zimmerman hold up the MOTM award.
I had to find the post game pub, same Lloyds : ( on my own after guiding my brother back to catch last train back to their holiday venue in R H bay )
which was a struggle and witnessed a couple of minor fights between Boro supporters.
A couple of beers and then back to Hotel bar.
Lost an hour's kip due to clock change but still managed to get the 9 am
train and an even longer journey back via York, Peterborough and Ely,
arriving home just before 3 pm.
It was well worth it, as combined with Sheffield defeat is a giant stride towards
automatic promotion.
