FA Cup Second Round - OMG

I left just before 11am as planned. Everything went okay. Even Dartford wasn't too bad.

I arrived at the Stadium a little earlier than the satnav thought, but only by a few minutes.

I ended up in parking S1. The guy on the gate wasn't all that helpful. At least my pre-booked ticket with RingGo seems to have worked okay in this parking lot.


It's the same parking lot as when I came on the bike in August.

With over an hour to kickoff I looked for somewhere to eat. Around the stadium are so many fast food places.  I looked at Burger King. No seating free. Same at KFC. Went into McDonald's. Quick turnover and cheap enough.

To pay cash at the counter was easy enough. I went for the "Big Mac" meal. It's a long time since I last had one and it seemed smaller than I remember? 

Not so much Big Mac as Middling Mac

I did like the Grinch idea on the coffee cup.

The day went down from there really. It's amazing a club that can't open all the stands for a cup game can pay its way.

Least said abiut the game the better. Pretty even until Dons scored on 43 minutes.

Eventually it ended 3-1 to the Dons.

The drive home in the dark was quicker than the way up. It's still annoying when there are so many lane hoggers on our motorways. Not just in lane two, but lane 3 of the four lane sections.

Altogether around 240 miles added to the mileage the Juke has completed.
