Word of the week - Football

Peter dropped me off at St Andrew's @Knightshead Stadium last Saturday on our way home from Scotland so I could watch The Trevor Francis Memorial game, we won 1-0.


On Sunday we binged watched on Amazon 'Built in Birmingham: Brady and the Blues'

On Friday night I caught the train up to Birmingham in the afternoon, had something to eat, wandered round a couple of shops, treated myself in the Stadium shop and settled in my seat for the first home game of the season against Ipswich, back in the Championship.



I'm off to watch them play Sheffield United in the Carabo Cup next Wednesday.

I've accidentally bought a ticket to the Oxford game on August 23rd, when we're away.

The next home game I'll be going to is on September 20th v Swansea, a 12.30pm kick off.

  1. You're a right football fan, aren't you? We enjoyed watching the Lionesses recently. Although we live mins away from Aston Villa, we've never actually watched a match there. Wishing you a fab week ahead.

  2. Have you been a football fan all your life? Your love of the game shines through in this post.
    I hope you can get a refund for the ticket or pass it on to someone.

  3. What a fantastic week of football. My fella and dad are very excited that the new season has started and the Premier League on Saturday. We're Newcastle supporters here. x

  4. Suzanne, have you always been this into soccer? I completely missed it if you were. The reason I ask is that my interest in rugby has piqued since Cameron died - I attend a lot more games now - I know, VERY random but wonder if there is a connection?
