It made the away end at Fratton Park seem expansive.

Didn't get served a drink until an 1hr after arriving in Ipswich. Full of hooligans and we lost! Great night!

Noticed that aswell. Weird crowd there tonight. Loads more firm-types there even in ground, bit edgy like it was gonna go off.

Got to the Station Hotel about 4'ish, too sweaty and crowded in there for us so only had one before moving onto the Punch & Judy. Decent crowd in there, OB overkill about 6'ish though when a few glasses got smashed.

Got to the Station Hotel about 5.30. Struggled to the bar, fought my way past the excitable teens throwing beer everywhere (oh there's the pint I was gasping for, all over the fucking carpet :roll: ) only to be told upon reaching the bar that they'd run out of most lagers. :banghead:

Had no idea where the other away pubs were so went looking for an offy to grab a few tins. No luck. Thought at the very least i'd get a beer in the ground. Again, no chance there; just as crowded as the Station. Ended up consuming zero alcohol all night.

What a thoroughly shit evening.

I walked past an offy on my way to the Station Hotel. When I saw how rammed it was I went back to the offy and purchased a few bottles and took them back to the pub.

That's the sort of creativity the team is lacking. Well done sir :)

Not sure why there were so many firm types? Cheap tickets I guess.

to the sheep moaning about packed pubs etc running out of beer.

this is what you get for being brainless unimaginative sheep.

i went to cracking local boozer 15 min walk from ground. choice of several real ales-food before and after game. no problems getting served even though busy-no problems with locals happy to talk to us and made us welcome. most before game were going to the match and most laughed when i told them where i thought the sheep were heading.

apart from match a very successful trip.

I am right in the mood for comments like that. Do you go for the footie or the ale you moron!

Lets all brag about what beer we drink and try to wind up fellow gooners the day after an embarrassing loss.
