Your Semi Final Day / Evening : Thu Sep 29, 2011 1:59 pm  

This Fridays game is without doubt the biggest game we have ever played at the HJ.

I am so looking forward to it and I have a great day planned.

Off work so getting some sun until early afternoon then off to some friends for a BBQ at 3PM.

At 5PM we are then going to the Tavern to commence our pre match drinkies leaving the Tavern for the South Stand at 7:15, arriving on the Terraces at 7:30 (no more beer)

What about your day? what are you doing? It doesn't matter whether you are going to the game or not still post because I am certain that everyone who comes on here would love to watch every single Wire game but work, family, money, travel distance etc gets in the way.

Work 7 till 4, drive home from Salford Quays, arrive home about 4.35. Walk the dog...return home about half 5.

Put some tea in, eat tea and hopefully leave the house by about 7 to get to the ground for about twenty past. Stand anxiously eating a twin size snickers, wine gums and bottle of coke!

I'm going to work till 6. Arrive home at 6.30, eat my tea, play some FIFA 12. Check the score on the internet at 10 and if Leeds have won I'll claim to have watched it and watch the replay. If Warrington win I'll get into the air raid shelter I've had built in the back garden and won't come out until I'm sure it's safe again.

Do some work tonight to make my day tomorrow a little shorter. Start about 9(ish) and finish about 4(ish) before going to do the post and banking.

From there the plan was to have some dinner before driving from Wierdness to Appleton, pick a mate up, drive into Warrington and then the Tavern for a pint before heading to the ground at 7:30(ish).

BUT, the doctor I saw today has said that due to a minor condition with my right eye (I didn't even realise I had a condition!) I am no longer allowed to drive until 'it is sorted' (next appointment in about 2 months or so). Every cloud has a silver lining so now I will be catching the bus about 5:30 or so and meeting mate at the Bus Station before wandering to the Tavern for a pint or three. Onto the ground and then hopefully a celebratery two or three in the Lower Angel afterwards and try not to miss the last bus (again).

Driving up from my home in London on Friday morning, check in at the Village Hotel, walk to the ground through Warrington high street that I barely recognise. Watch us beat Leeds, get drunk and probably shed an odd tear. Remembering times at the match with my old dad at Wilderspool when I was growing up.
Ill be a nervous wreck on Friday but confident we can do it !

Work from 9am-5:30pm ('work' will be my location!), drive home for 6pm. Get changed, have some food, drive to Warrington, fret & worry all the way until full time.
