I'd agreed to drive to this (don't know why) a while back seeing as there really isn't any other way It could be done!
A meet up with The chaps in Tom's car was done, and after a quick stop off at the services we were on our way at sunset!
In my car was Jamie
Dave & Mikey
And a last minute addition of James (C-Man) who despite having an exam the next morning at uni, text me on the saturday whilst we were up north watching Coalville in the FA Vase asking if I had a spot!

Oh & of course, I was in my car too!
Somehow Tom got lost following me and ended up heading through Bristol and towards Bath! He did make it eventually, just 20 minutes after KO!
Anyway, to the match.
Oh & of course, I was in my car too!Somehow Tom got lost following me and ended up heading through Bristol and towards Bath! He did make it eventually, just 20 minutes after KO!We arrived in Yeovil with plenty of time, parked just off the industrial estate that the ground is on, inside a little housing estate. We arrived at the ground, took up our place on the terrace, and met up with the usual DIEHARD awayers.
The ground was pretty basic, not a shed, but nothing fancy either. 
As you can see the spot we picked on the terrace wasn't great, with the crossbar blocking a good section of the goal!
Our end had no roof, but it did have a scoreboard ! !
I think Yeovil take the award for Shittest mascot!
Jamie flies the VfL Bochum flag.
Fez turned up with the flag which resulted in lots of flagdance (See later on)

Anyway, to the match.
Our team looked quite good, although you couldn't tell due to the rubbish view. Mark Davies was immense and we looked like we'd be holding onto a solitary 1 goal lead given to us by Big steeve! This was untill Joe Mattock, for once, showed why he's highly rated and put us 2 up.
A nice little terrace surge ensued in the goal celebrations and lots more flag dancing. A 2-0 win to send us even further ahead of MkMongs and silly points clear at the top! Good times.
We made our way around the ground to have a look in their club shop afterwards. This is quite unsual for our lot and we were even more surprised when the shop was just a shed.
The 'shed' did have probably the most impressive collection of programmes you'll ever see though!
It was only untill after the match we realised that Sky had shown us dancing with the flag on TV! Not only this but the LCFC offcial website had put pictures up too!

Katy, Dave, Fez, Jamie & Me right at the back get a slice of the action!
Here's a freeze frame from the TV!
And this is what it looked like underneath!
The Journey home was just as eventfull as the rest of the day. After trying to take a shortcut to avoid the traffic we ended up going the long way through Bristol, a quick stop off for Petrol and food and we passed a local Topps Tiles 'shop'!
C-Man picked up some Walkers Sensations crisps, C-Man and the Sensations (50's Band?)

Because of our de-tour via Bristol the team coach had got infront of us on the way home. Some superb driving by me caught them up.

Not sure the players appreciated us beeping and waving scarfes out the window. Big Steve was probably tucking into a 6-pack of Newcy Brown and the rest were probably trying to sleep!
One last service stop for a visit to the little boys room and to get some much needed drink
And that was it, Bobs your uncle..
