Yeovil is going to cost me enough. Take the family away for the weekend and price of ticket is cheap enough. Wife going shopping without me for a few hours isn't

Last time she picked me up after a game I was so far gone I kept nearly falling off the front seat each time she took a corner Think it was away at Brizzle and she picked me up in Cov about midnight. Was in her motor, a Shogun. Their seats don't hold you in at all.

I'm planning to go. Only about an hour (or less) fromwhere I live near Blandford. Never seen the Yeovil ground, but the town isn't so big and it's on an industrial estate (I think) so it should be easy to find. All I need now is ticket info.

I'm planning on going to Yeovil by train and while I was looking it said there were 3 pubs within about 10-15 minutes walk of the ground all of which are pretty away fan friendly.

I'm planning to drink at the marquee at the ground. That is unless some of us can have a get together at a pub. I am going alone so don't fancy my own company ;-) Also love having a laugh with the natives and have heard the Yeovil lads are a good laugh. Would be good to put faces to names.

I do love cider. Even drinking it at the moment

Keen for a SBT away day to start the season off imp: Think this will be my furthest away day of the season also. Over 300 miles for me. I will be about halfway there when I reach the M5 at Brum

Credit card? NO NO NO

Used to have a card with a 15k limit I only used for emergencies. The wife decided she wanted one. Not a problem I thought. She paid the bill each month as I hardy used it. Opened up the bill just over 6 months later for the first time. She had put 9k on it Paid it off and got rid of it and a few others I had. Never again Women and credit cards don't mix, especially my one

Reading up on this earlier and it mentioned that although it states "all welcome" at the marquee, they turn away supporters that have away shirts on!

Wear the home shirt then

You are going to need a jacket of some sort for this game of some sort unless summer suddenly arrives. We will have no cover whatsoever. They know how to look after you in Div3
