Charity Road Trip Diary Day Two
Written by wadey on Tuesday, 21st Aug 2012 23:31

Alarms in the morning are a killer! Especially when it's at 4am! Me and dad shared a double duvet across the two front seats of me car, and Becky was squashed up on the back seat! 

So after four and a bit hours' sleep, we was off again, 30 miles from Bristol. We got to Ashton Gate as daylight broke. That stadium needs a bit of a spruce up. The worst was yet to come though! Bristol Rovers' ground is appalling! 

Up the M4 to Cardiff and Swansea now. Cardiff is a lovely stadium. I prefer it to Swansea but that also is very nice. In between we popped to the Millennium Stadium. I'm still not a fan of that one.

We started the two-hour trip towards Cheltenham. Lovely area, wouldn't mind retiring there!

Oxford is nice apart from the fact it has a stand missing. Sod parking in that car park!

Wycombe is a bit run down but we met the chairman who tweeted about us so can't slag them off!

Into London and what a nightmare! We arrived at Brentford at 2pm and ended up at the Emirates at 10pm! Traffic was a killer. Had to pay £2 to park at Chelsea just to take a bloody photo. 

The sat nav took us to Highbury instead off the Emirates so we added it to our list of stadiums visited.

So much traffic between Wimbledon, Palace, Millwall and Charlton. Managed to go pitch side at Kingsmeadow. Do not like Selhurst one bit. Charlton is a Premier League stadium though.

Across the Woolwich Ferry to Leyton Orient, Spurs and Arsenal and we are done finally!

Stadiums done today: Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Cardiff, Millennium Stadium, Swansea, Cheltenham, Oxford, Wycombe, Brentford, QPR, Fulham, Chelsea, AFC Wimbledon, Crystal Palace, Millwall, Charlton, Leyton Orient, Tottenham, Arsenal - Highbury & Emirates.

All in all a bad day today due to London traffic. 1,070 miles completed now and 35 stadiums.
