I have been a touch remiss about bog-blogging recently – blame a trip to the fjords. But tomorrow's trip to the New Den has concentrated my mind...
So. Leeds. While we probably deserved to lose, we weren't 3-0 bad. At least I'd put money on ex-Wednesday player Richard Cresswell to score first and last rather than just first, as he scored the second and third.
They shafted us for an outrageous £25 for the tickets - and the view was terrible. I was about eight rows back right behind the goal, and thanks to the crossbar it was almost impossible to see what was going on at the other end.
The queues for the loos were prodigious before the match, so I sneaked out 10 minutes before half time, only to find that the nearest loos still had a long queue. A tramp down to the second set of loos at the other end of the stand showed why – there were only two cubicles. That's four loos for the entire away end. Not impressed.
And they were in a real state. No loo roll – I think it was all on the floor. Fortunately I always have loo-roll in my pockets at football – as would you if you'd heard my mate Julian's thoroughly alarming anecdote involving football, an upset stomach, an absence of loo-roll and a foil pie tray floating along on a sea of piss.
Judging by the lake outside being ineffectively mopped up, the plumbing's not up to much either.
Score: 2/10. Very little to recommend them, aside from not actually being blocked.
