I too was at Sheffield on 20 September. The
atmosphere was created by ALL of the Storm
supporters who were present, not just those
who had travelled on the 'official' coach.
We travelled by car. Why? Well, the one and only
time we went on the coach (to Sheffield, 31
January last season) the journey included abusive
singing from a group who became increasingly the
worse for wear as the trip progressed. One of
these delightful people rounded things off by
throwing up on the coach. No doubt the driver,
who had to clear up the mess, was happy to accept
that they were just 'having FUN'. Maybe we were
unlucky and from what I saw the majority
of the coach travellers appeared a good lot, but
it not an experience I intend risking again. (As
my eight year old daughter said at the time 'They
are silly girls, arn't they'.
P.S. Good luck Simon with you radio debut tonight.
(This morning GMR stated coverage would be
'extensive'). Won't hear it as we will be there
but no doubt you will be letting us know how things
went.
