Super Oldham!

After three post season games Oldham have been promoted back to the EFL after three years stuck in the 5th tier.

I was able to get a ticket for the Wembley Stadium. 

What a day. 

I'd been ill with a UTI for nearly three weeks and so it was touch and go whether I could actually go. I'd finished a second round of antibiotics on the Thursday before. Had 6 hours in hospital on Friday!!

But who could miss the first Wembley visit for 30 plus years! Not me.

We took the motorhome to a Caravan Club site at Denham on Saturday for two nights. It's one stop from Denham to Wembley Stadium Station.  I cabbed it both ways though. The walk was about 30 minutes.  But after the weeks leading up I didn't want to risk it.

The railway was pretty efficient and £6.50 return.

Once at the station it was follow signs to the Yellow Zone. I'd printed my ticket as I have little faith in the phone or the Internet working when needed!

Bags checked. I have my Adidas man bag, and off the buy something to eat and drink. Then find my seat.

I had two bottles of water and a Pepsi diet cola. Plus the worst sausage roll ever made.

The game was a game for the neutrals. Oldham  conceding early in the first half of normal and extra time. The opener was actually an own goal... 

To score twice in a minute in extra time was mind blowing!!!

After the presentations I left and joined the masses heading for the station.  Getting in the queue didn't help and started to feel hot, nauseous and could barely shuffle. I called the police medic over and they tended to me. They already had a guy with a heart attack to assist. My BP had dropped (again) and I was there for 25 minutes before it was back to normal and they let me go. I was feeling much better when I got back to Claire at the campervan. 

Maybe it was foolish to have gone. But it was still a great day.

Oldham in the blood. Thanks Mum.
