I'm taking the missus to her first game for this one. Seized the opportunity of her living in London with a romantic Saturday in Stevenage.

She'll be made fully aware throughout the game that I'd trade her for Dembele signing a 5 year deal.

I'm gutted, I have to be at Younger Son Ofs wedding all afternoon near Hitchen, knowing I'm only 20 mins or so away from the game and not able to attend. I have looked at all the timings and no way can I slip away for over 2 hours.

Bit of a shithole I thought, even Hitler couldn't be arsed with the place.
Way off the Luftwaffe flight path but easily accessible by train.
I'll be hunting out some better boozers this time though.


Considering most of it was built AFTER the war that's not surprising. But don't let the facts get in the way.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Corrected that for you

I went there last year, if you get there early enough there is a free car park just accross the road from the ground(it was free last year anyway).
Just a short walk down the main road was a decent enough pub, name escapes me but was full of town fans, I had to laugh as I was talking to a small group of Stevenage fans who were decent and polite, they actually asked if the town fans would leave them one small corner of the pub for the home fans, the support really was good that day. Another point to note is there are only a couple of turn styles for away fans and they search all away fans so don't turn up five minutes before kick off as the queues will leave you missing the start. And to anyone going, good luck as it cannot be a as bad a Grimsby performance as last year, we had a shocker down there.

If you are a young,muscle bound 6ft 3ins 30 year old Sean Connery lookalike I could stand in for you-if not I'm afraid you've missed the Town match

It's a 15 min walk so me plus 3, the free car park across the road is still free but a bar steward to get out of. If you walk out of the car park cross the road there is a pub to the left the Our Mutual Friend, reasonable beer away friendly landlord. Go to the right of the ground past Dunhelm Mill there is 2 pubs 1 Toby (avoid) and another one The Roebuck a hundred yards down the rosd.

Old Town is ok but the pubs start getting sniffy towards letting in away fans from time to time. If your arriving by train early and want a breakfast there is 2 cracking cafe's in the town centre just over the road from the station.
