Ground No 10
On Saturday Owen, myself and 1,632 other members of the Green and White Barmy Army descended on Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace's home ground. Apart from the result (1-0 to Palace - a goal which is causing some debate amongst Argyle fans, some saying it was offside, others saying it wasn't, still others saying that it doesn't matter if it was or not, a goal was given), I had, well, lets just say an interesting day.
Out of the goodness of my heart I picked Owen up at 7.30 (though he wasn't actually ready till 7.45!). I then drove up to London (having planned to go up by train and already got my tickets), or more specifically Bromley, where his uncle lives, and dropped him off. I then drove off to Norbury, where my uncle lives. Everything was going well until I turned left instead of right and a t-junction and got completely lost! After a major panic attack and stopping, looking at the map I eventually found where I was meant to be, and then made my way to my uncles. Then we all went over to the game.
Palace's ground is an interesting one, having be built in stages, none of the stands match. I however feel that it just adds character to it. The away fans are down one side, however this did not stop us making more noise then the home fans - even singing "shall we sing a song for you" and "you're supposed to be at home!" It was a fairly nice ground I'd say - nothing really to complain about, so I would give it somewhere around 6/7 out of 10!
Other Argyle news of note - we got through the first round of the League Cup for the first time since 1992! We beat Peterborough 2-1 at Home Park last night. This Saturday's game against Hull will be very weird for me as it will be my last home game for a while. I'm just hoping I don't cry in front of the lads, would not enhance my tomboy reputation!
