Some interesting reply’s. :lol:

We might all have different pre-match routines, but I’m sure we’ll all be united in answering Warnocks rallying call to get the stadium rocking this season. :bluescarf:

Romanian Ralph :lol: :lol: :lol: Some name!

Does he realise you’re only using him as you need a “mixed grill partner” to take advantage of the aforementioned generous offer?

:lol: :lol: :lol: In fact his nickname is actually Garrryyyy after the only fools and horses episode. But in fact customs dodger and the Lorry hopper are also used. Ha ha but in fact Garrryyyy is a real nice bloke and a top top mate. Since bringing him with me he has now made many mates and a great partner for the mixed grill offer :thumbup: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Up early and sort out Bryn bach parkrun which starts at 9am
I`ll either run or marshal it before going home at around 10.15am and
download the results and sort out the nonsense that goes with it.
Pick my son up from the next town to where i live in Tredegar at 12.45am
Arrive in Cardiff and straight to asdas for some food.
After food it`s either a can of cider or soft drink and off we both
go to the ground. I`ll put a £1 each on first goalscorer and off to our seats.
Straight home after the game.
My son is 18 now and 12 years a season ticket holder this season and our
match routine has nearly always been the same.
The football has always to me been about me and my son and over the years
we have shared some great memories.
Only problem is we miss quite a few games now because his rugby comes first.
So i for one is going to find the sunday games very welcoming because already
i can see we are going to have to miss the Man City game.
Bargoed youth v Brynmawr youth far more important :lol:

I went to Tredegar Park for my wedding pictures back in 2001 as the surroundings are stunning and I’m a New Tredegar boy myself, although I’ve now moved away.

My Gransha from Rhymney - who sadly died on Tredegar + Rhymney Golf Course in 1996 - took me to home games for many years and your precise timeline of events reminds me of how he was.

I actually pass that golf course on my way to Rhymney to pick my son up. Next game i`ll wind down the window and shout out `BLOOOOOOOOBIRDS` as i pass it in memory of your Gransha :bluescarf:
