Leyton Orient Vs Reading
Matchday 91 was our penultimate game in League One and one that required an early start to the day, which meant we were to board the only direct train from Stourbridge Junction to London Marylebone, departing at 08:19. This service is operated by Chiltern Railways, and past experience suggested it would be a busy […]
Salford City Vs Fleetwood Town
Happy New Year to all our incredible supporters! Liam and I hope you had a fantastic festive season.

Plymouth Argyle Vs Blackburn Rovers
Matchday 78 was our third EFL Championship fixture in just five days, and this time we had a long trek ahead of us as we aimed to tick off one of the most distant grounds on our 92-club challenge. We had an early start to get to Plymouth, the most south-western club in the English […]
Charlton Athletic Vs Bolton Wanderers

Our day began early with a direct train […]
