1992 our venue for a pre match beer for Barnsley away was the bar in a leisure centre / Aqua park a few hundred yards from the ground. Had a good laugh with a gorgeous barmaid who said ''Charle tun" in the most northern of accents.
Was one of the better away days.
Next season around 12 of us decided to leave for Barnsley at silly o clock in the morning. All of us had taken our Bermuda shorts, so had a good 2 hours on the flumes and swimming pool before the bar open.
We were all well into Gary Oldman's football hoolie film The Firm at the time. We thing they must have cut the scene where they were all squashed into a jacuzzi whirlpool before one of their big matches....9 -

At QPR a couple of seasons ago we couldn't get in any pubs so we ended up in a chinese restaurant pre match beers and a No. 65!1

Had lunch in Fleetwood Wetherspoons yesterday (nothing strange about that), then went to the ground on a tram (never done that before).1

In some old Norwegian fellas back garden at 4am, drunk the night before a match up in Alta. Guy must've heard me and came out shouting in Norwegian at me, in a rash drunk decision I decided to opt for the hop the fence option, I got caught up in it so ended up him helping me over and me showing him a card to my hotel and him pointing me towards it, he pointed the wrong way.11

Henry sorted out a pre match stadium tour of Germinal Beerschot when we had one of our famous 'tie ups' with them.
Only problem was they'd moved the game forward by 24 hours for Belgium TV and we turned up at the ground a day late.
So we did a tour of Antwerp's red light district instead.13 -
having been to watford a couple of times and realising there is fuck all there, we decided not bothering to get there till after 2. which gave us plenty of time to have a wander round Highgate cemetery. the morbid feeling continued as we then watched Watford stuff us 5 nil.4

Interesting and unique, rather than strange. Before the Fulham game last season, I visited St Mary's Church, Putney. In 1647, this church was the forum for the first debates about the nature of democracy in England. stmarys.parishofputney.com/the-church/the-putney-debates/3
