Away Day Stories Wanted

By Aston
August 11 2006

A football fan compiling a book about fans experiences at away games and he wants your stories.

The book he is writing is a sort of rough guide meets idiots guide for the travelling supporter, dedicated to all the mad fools who travel the length and breadth of the country following their team.  

 

So he wants the following information:

 

Your best and worst away trips, your team, the match you were travelling too, how did you travel, by car train or coach? Did you travel alone or with your mates?

 

What pubs did you stop at, what were the facilities like, i.e. was there a beer garden, a large screen TV, any decent food, were the kids allowed in the bar, was there a good atmosphere and a good variety of booze on sale, and more importantly was there any eye candy behind the bar? A picture of the pub on a digital camera would be good.

 

Did you need a wetsuit to take a pee, did you wait hours to get served, and how far were you from the ground. Where did you go after the game, did you head for home or maybe stay in for the night or better still make a weekend of it. If so where did you stay, what bars, clubs or restaurants did you visit was the town /city a hospitable place to spend a weekend or was it full of knuckle dragging half wits. He is looking for eyewitness reports from your travels; the best tales will be included in the book where we will acknowledge the person by name, his or her team and the match attended.

 

So please get writing the book as yet untitled is due to be finished by Feb2007 so will be due out next summer published by Pennant Publishing.
