13/03/16 - Aston Villa 0 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur

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?

03/05/14 - Wolves 3 - 0 Carlisle

After a couple of months off due to various different things (getting engaged, booking weddings and holidays etc) I decided to get back on the road and what better game to do it! I've made no secret of it that I'm a Wolves fan and have been to Molineux many times before but never as part of my trek to do the Full 92!

So I invited all of my registered people to come along and join me if they fancied a great day out. Wolves had already won the Sky Bet League One championship so would be presented with the trophy at the end of the game. It would indeed be a carnival atmosphere. Unfortunately there had to be a loser and it just so happened that today it would more than likely be the visitors Carlisle United who would also be relegated with anything less than a win.
Shame really, but I couldn't let that put a dampener on the celebrations now could I?

26/12/13 - Cheltenham 1 - 0 Exeter

Better late than never! Seems my posts are taking longer to write but we got there in the end. This latest instalment happened Boxing Day. As we all know this is a day which has become famous for football. Everyone looking to get back into the routine as they shake of the excesses of drinking and eating all day previously.

To be honest it was a bit of a last minute decision to go to a match as funds were not looking like they were going to allow it. However when I got the itchy feet feeling on Boxing Day I knew that I had to get to a match! Flicking through the local fixtures I decided that Cheltenham Town was the best place to go as it is nearest to where I live and I knew that while I took my partner's son to his first ever League game she could go off and do a spot of shopping!

In my everyday life I work for Abbey Business Equipment in Cheltenham and have done for the last 3 years so it seems mad that this was my first visit to the stadium we sponsor. Even more annoying that after I'd paid for us to get in I found out that I could have got complimentary tickets as an employee of the sponsors. Schoolboy error! But you live and learn I suppose.....

12/10/13 - Dagenham 1 - 2 Cheltenham

This proved to be a road trip and a half! Taking my mate Graham with me we were going to meet Mark who is one of the Full 92's registered members. I'd sorted out his National Express coach travel from Clacton to Romford and we would be meeting him there and travelling to Dagenham together.

After about 30 mins on the road I received a call from Mark saying that he had missed the coach by seconds so was a little bit stuck. Feeling bad for him I decided to go the extra mile (or 120!) and drive to pick him up from Clacton. This just goes to show how far I will go to make sure my members have a great experience with The Full 92!

And so the road trip was on. Evesham to Clacton, Clacton to Dagenham, then to Romford and finally back to Evesham. A day of 9 hours in the car, but all made for a great day out watching football. And even though this is extreme, I like to make sure that our members get the best service possible! Mark got a chauffeured service from his home town and then picked up the return National Express for the trip home. You may think I'm mad, but to me customer service is the most important thing. Surely you must all agree?

17/08/13 - Walsall 1 - 1 Notts County

Saturday involved the second match of the season for The Full 92 Travel Club and a trip to the Banks's Stadium in Walsall. The Saddlers were taking on the oldest club in the League Notts County. Walsall have started well this season so I imagined it was going to be a good match.

The Banks's stadium is just off the M6 at Wednesbury and is visible from the motorway. It's easy to get to and is situated next to a retail park so there is plenty of parking around. I parked in a car park which was just £2 so I was happy to pay that for the time I was there. Had a mooch around in the club shop and taking in the sights of their "Wall of Fame".

I paid £18 for the lower tier of the Tile Choice stand which is the largest stand facing the M6 and is where most of the hardcore Saddlers fans are behind the goal. The other 3 stands are all pretty small but overall the stadium is relatively new so it's not in bad nick for a League 1 ground.

The Full 92 Travel Club begins...

Ok so here it is, the first of many blogs which could go on to become legendary. One day I could be writing blogs from my yacht. But for now I'm on the sofa watching "Family Guy". Rock 'n' roll!

My name is Steve Cook and over the last couple of years I've been regularly going to watch my beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. at Molineux. I splashed out and got myself a season ticket as I used to work weekends so couldn't get up as much as I'd like. The phrase "Kiss of Death" springs to mind as since I did that we got relegated 2 years in a row from the Premier League and then The Championship!

However, after years of being an armchair supporter due to my work commitments, it was a buzz to actually get back to going to the games again. So this led me to conduct a little investigation. Millions of people across the world love football. It's our national game and most popular sport. Thousands upon thousands travel to matches every week to watch their local teams or teams that they follow. I love this passion. And I love travelling to new places. Are you starting to get it yet?
