gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 08.30 and a nice buzz around SMS lots of supporters. Many kids getting face painted. All here are mostly for official and unofficial coaches. Cars go past all hooting support. It’s already a good atmosphere! 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 08.45. First and hopefully last moan of the day. There are no signs telling you where to stand and wait if you are on a certain coach. So everyone just hanging around. And massing around the one or two coaches here. Goodness knows what’s going to happen when 50 coaches turn up and thousands ( 1500+ ?) people get into a jumble trying to find the right one. Bit not organised.

gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 09.07 Boarded coach. Not where was originally told. But it was parked up outside the Deanery. And The Safety Officer kindly directed me. It’s a wild bunch so far. Yes apparently it has a WC but no you can’t use it? Yes thete is a USB. And seats feel comfy. Yes to getting an aisle seat just behind the driver so will have a panoramic view of….the coach backside ahead of us lol. So far so good. Nobody’s handing out the bingo cards, yet. 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gutted.😂. Just a wide range of typical saints fans talking footie and cricket etc. broke my charger cable. Nothing else of note except it’s nice to be able to shut your eyes whilst driving on the motorway. 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 On the bingo bus, which despite this coach selling out is only 2/3 full so I’ve got two seats to myself. Good atmosphere at St Mary’s earlier, bought myself a bacon roll, well it had one slice of bacon and one slice akin to a pork scratching. Surprisingly calm about today, yeah I’d absolutely love to go straight back up, but it’s football, shit happens. Maybe I’m just too scarred from my last trip here in the EFL to get myself excited. Oh, and @Turkish I picked you up a key ring in the club shop, hope you like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 In my position. Parking the coach was a nonsense. left us in the middle of the Leeds area. Great atmosphere in the ( Saints) concourse and places slowly staring to fill. Oh and everyone gets a cute flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 14:06. Couldn't get a ticket, sat on the sofa picking my nose wondering why there can't be a token bird on the punditry team to look at. Might have a look at Laura Woods Instagram. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 14:09, there's a bird with nice dark eyes on the screen now. Just showed Ormerod scoring for Blackpool in the playoff final years back, not sure which got me going more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Leeds fans got no flags. We all have flags. They all looking jealously now. 1-0 Saints! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 14:40, that took me longer than it normally would but in fairness that Emma bird doing the interviews is only a 6/10 and they keep cutting to Neil Warnock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Just after we scored. I got no voice and no energy cleft. On coach on way back. Best asaibts moment of my life. Best Saints atmosphere I’ve ever experienced. Biggest thing I’ve ever seen is win. Loudest support. A day of superlatives. Thank you Saints and all you the saints fans made that day incredible with your brilliant support. 👏👏👏👏👏 IMG_8079.MOV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
