Football ! Fun, and food

What a experience yesterday was Tricia and Alan bought us tickets to a game west Ham United vs West Bromwich Albion (our team) what a experience it was so many. People getting on the train....then we arrived the streets were filled with people snaking their way along the sidewalks and roads to the stadium ....lots of police present. West Ham is quite a place Alan said you can get anything illegal there from passports to contract killing yikes! We entered through the away entrance, they keep the away team supporters separated from the home team supporters for good reason....we had beer in the hall area and listened to the chanting starting for the Baggies ( our team) it was very infectious got the adrenalin pumping....our seats in the away section of course separated by the big black rubber tarp from the seats on the other side....we had some rowdy supporters standing in front of us ....fowl mouths on those guys ! We lost it was so sad 3to0 till the last few minutes then the Baggies scored a goal ....we then headed back to the train station...though a sea of people on the streets ...police police and more police....the line going into the train station was unbelievable...once we got onto the ramp going in it didn't take long...Tricia holding my hand...and me reaching with my other hand for Rods and finding I was holding the hand of a strange man Ha! We all had a good laugh...stopped for some takeaway chips at the chippy near where the car was parked then headed home....then straight out to The Bell Pub and Restaurant....for a great meal and to see the Hot Cross Buns hanging from the ceiling they have been placing them there for years every Easter ...
