[Lord Didsbury]

Flushed by the excitement and general reet good day out watching the lads yesterday, Er Indoors and myself are plotting next weekend's road trip already.

As this will be our fourth venture into foreign battlefields we have presumptuously decided we have now graduated from glory hunters to die hard fans (apprentice grade 1).

We are going via train. £12 each return, and with it being a "trendy" city it means we can both fill our boots in Brewdog and other hipster hangouts before heading to the County Ground. And then celebrate like a pair of giddy p*ssheads afterwards.

So, what's it like? I've run past it once, on a quiet evening, but I imagine it will be a different place on Saturday with the massed ranks of the Stanley boys making all the noise and the stadium rocking to its very foundations when Super Bill stuffs another one in the onion bag?

I've started ticking the days off on the kitchen calendar - Saturday just can't come quickly enough.
