Mrs g wanted me to tidy cupboards so i am in the alex.
Doombar.
How is the good old AlexâŚ
Get smashed, then donât post until tomorrow.
Mwah. Now to think about the long journey back. Good to catch up with a few people yesterday. SO5 4BW, Goatboy, Fowllyd and ant were the other attendees for the pre-match beers. Goaters and I drank in the Giddy Bridge for a bit with my mate Lee and his girlfriend.
I vaguely remember a load of things. Now to try to get back to the North West of England. Fun.
Howâs the head, Goat?
SorryâŚhowâs the cunting, cunting, cunting head, Goat?
How was the Alex as a venue? Does it get another run out for Spurs?
Feeling a bit ropey
Thumbs up for the Alex though.
I think we could use it again, although we were lucky that we had a relatively low turnout for the pre-drinks. Seating arrangements were âcosyâ. Absolutely no issue as a post-match venue, and one of the best things about it is that anything you might need, cash, ciggies or taxis, are just around the corner.
I had a row with a cab driver because he asked me for 10 quid up front. Now I donât know why he felt he needed to take a security deposit from someone hanging out on London Road looking like a drunken hobo going to the Flower Estates, but I wouldnât let it lie. He got pissed off halfway up the Avenue, and drove me back after Iâd rambled for the third time about this being âunprecedentedâ and asking for his name and number. I got my tenner back
Apologies for all-too-brief appearance afterwards. Ended up with attention divided between my girlfriendâs mates (who seem to have formed a little âAntâ fanclub) and my old line manager. Apparently The Giddy Bridge was the place to be! Then had to shoot off to get stuff ready for my party.
The Alex is a decent option but I donât know whether I could hack the bustle and lack of space every time.
