With the new season upon us is there anything that you're looking forward to doing again. Do you follow the same routine every match? Are there any superstitions you have to follow?

No intentional routine but most games the same thing happens
Pick people up
Drive up
Park up
Have a cuppa at the ground (designated driver responsibilities!), or just a water in warmer months / weathers (don't have many of them)
Quick visit to the FZ to see the volunteers, most of which I know to say hi to
Head to our seats about 2.45pm!
Say 'hi' to other ST's holders near by!
Review the last away game (last season it was a lot of 'how poor were we last week')
Game kicks off!
We pick up x points
Back to the car saying 'that was good / shite'
Yep-that will be us this season when Cov are at the Ricoh. Officiate our game and then to the club house to watch the inevitable last minute equaliser go in our net on Sky soccer Saturday. Then drive home listening to how garbage we were on the phone in.This year will be strange. My games generally kick off at 14:15/14:30, so I'll be back in the club house to watch all the scores come in for the last half an hour whilst my glory supporting team mates rip into me as we concede our fourth goal against Accrington...
Oh, thought you were a volunteer in there mate?:emoji_thinking:No intentional routine but most games the same thing happens

Ha you made some great Whiskey induced posts IIRC Rev.Well I haven't had a whisky for well over two months, I gave up just after season end as every Saturday night I seemed to rely on a couple of whiskies to lift the mood after yet another defeat.
So I cant wait for it to start again so I can get rat arsed again on whisky Saturday nights after we have lost 3-0 at home to the likes of Morecombe etc
Bring it on my liver awaits a good hammering
Cheers wingy, I do have some strange rants/ideas very late Saturday night ,early Sunday mornings, I must admit.Ha you made some great Whiskey induced posts IIRC Rev.

You have missed a key point in between game kicks off and we pick up x points:-
Update SBT with key moments from the game
It is devastating when you lose your Dad who you went to every home game with. After he went it took years to get back into it, my dad died whilst we were still at Highfield Road and I did stop going for quite some time but the move to the Ricoh sort of gave me a fresh start and I could move on.Bit different this year as my old fella has passed away so not going at the moment.
Phone call at 10 am "what time are you picking me up?"
"12.40 as every week dad"
"Ok I might be doing a bit of shopping down cheylesmore so wait for me if I'm late"
Pick him up have a few pints in the Haven pub then a few in the Burnt post then the Mrs drives us to the Ricoh.
Couple of pints in Legends lounge and a good natter with everyone and get picked up at 5.40, drop him home a hug and "see you tomorrow dad " then get dropped off at the post for a few more then collected to get a Chinese on way home for the Mrs and little one.
Bed followed by a hangover then Sunday lunch scoops before lunch.
It's a good day out regardless but last season was dire all the way thro sadly.
Maybe a decent upturn in results will see me back again. Saturday will be an emotional one but will be stuck to the radio.
Get up 9 ish have breakfast sausage & tomato batches pick mates up at 12:45 then drive to the gas club go in and greet all of our mates loads of banter taking the piss, couple of beers good conversation then leave to go to the ground 2:25 just a 5 minute walk to the ground. Watch the stewards searching old age pensioners but leaving the young capable men to go in without searching. Watch the match and listening to the usual moaning twats around me! Feels like we have never had a break from it. Hopefully have something to smile about to which we go back in the Gas club for a swift celebration drink or if we have played shit and lost go home and fucking moan at the misses
That's a very uncomplicated day bucksblue, good precise planning.Catch the train around 9ish
Start drinking
Watch game
Continue drinking
Catch train towards home
Continue drinking (if able to)
