Away Day Diary: Gosport Borough 0-2 Maidenhead United (07/09/13)


^^^ The sombrero wasn't soggy, unfortunately.


^^^ Macleod (M) longs to be treated like a queen.


^^^ Bar open! Anyone for a can of Cosmo?


^^^ V for Victory. Apt.


^^^ The Hard Interchange? Sounds painful.


^^^ Rekorderlig (Wild Berries flavour) on tap in the Ship Anson.


^^^ The ferry to Gosport.


^^^ Meet with the stragglers in the Castle Tavern. Yellow 'CAUTION' sign due to Macleod (M) upending an entire pint of Kronenbourg (not his).


^^^ In the ground. Yet more uncovered ends. Nicer than Whitehawk, though, IMO.


^^^ This lady steward (wife of the Chairman?) was very reasonable. Incidentally, I would be standing alongside her as the final whistle sounded.


^^^ Match action. I took this photo between a missed sitter from Michael 'Devon' Malcolm and Reece Tison-Lascaris scoring for the Magpies.


^^^ Second half.


^^^ Discussing hair care tips?


^^^ Known in the industry as a 'goal'.


^^^ A trainer - mine - on the pitch! Soon-to-be trainer out of the ground! Gosport keeper (NOT Mel Capleton despite allegations to the contrary) can certainly flick a trainer a long way with his foot.


^^^ I'm not usually one for sitting on the fence, but last Saturday was an exception.


^^^ Oops! My favourite pair of jeans as well. Safety pins previously holding together the Union flag would (eventually) come to the rescue.


^^^ Walk in the park.


^^^ Outside the Star.


^^^ Thumbs up.

Great day out and 2-0 to the mags. Next stop WSM followed by return to Canvey Island to see us play Concord Rangers.
More fun on the train
