Another delayed blog for the same reasons as the last one, technical issues. However I've struggled to get to many games this season due to coaching U11's football on a Saturday, so when I had the chance to go and watch Villa vs Spurs on this Sunday afternoon game live on Sky Sports, I jumped at the chance. One of the dads from my lad's football team couldn't go so he kindly said that I could have all 4 of his season tickets.
So after inviting my brother and nephew, the four of us met up and followed my brother's friend, another Villa season ticket holder, up to Birmingham on a lovely sunny afternoon. The weather always helps when it's on your side and the atmosphere of going to these new grounds is always enhanced. If anyone prefers watching football in the rain, I'd love to hear from you!

26/09/15 - Cambridge 1 - 0 Stevenage
Ok so let's be honest it's taken me a fair amount of time to write this post but there is a genuine reason I promise. PC issues, time issues, photo uploading issues etc. All sorted now so excuse the lateness!
On Saturday 26th September 2015 it was my first wedding anniversary so the wife and I decided to go away for a night and we picked Cambridge, simply because we'd never been and we fancied checking it out. We also booked a day punting on the river, as near to Venice as we could get.
Low and behold, it just so happened that on that day Cambridge Utd. were at home to Stevenage. As my wife is super understanding she agreed that she would just chill if I wanted to go and watch the match. Bless her!

09/08/14 - MK Dons 4 - 2 Gillingham
So after a summer of World Cup disappointment watching England, and only cricket and Commonwealth games to fill the void it was finally time to get back on the road as the start of the 2014/15 season kicked off. FOOTBALL IS BACK!! And after tinkering with the website and adapting the format of the club a little we were back on the road for the new season.
First game was a trip to Milton Keynes to watch League One's MK Dons battle it out against Gillingham. I was happy to meet up with a newly registered Full 92 recruit in Shaun who is crazily attempting to do all 92 clubs in two seasons. He'd already been to Blackburn on Friday night and was visiting Wolves on Sunday, but Saturday was all about joining us on the road for the first time. It's great meeting other passionate fans and we still want to get more of you Full 92'ers coming to join us at the matches. It's all about creating a social group atmosphere so get yourselves involved!
No doubt Shaun will join us again many times on his road to infamy, and it was a glorious day for us to visit the purpose built 22,000 seater stadium built on a retail park in Milton Keynes. It's a modern stadium inside and out and I imagine will be rocking in the future if MK Dons ever manage to get to the dizzy heights of the Championship or Premier League. So how was the first day of the new season?
