Indeed, many teams decide to spend the night before the game at the South Lodge Hotel just up the hill from where l live.
Many a time have l been wandering the hotel grounds in the wee small hours banging my gong in an attempt to keep their players awake, so they are too knackered to play. :D
Lets all hope that their journey is a long and arduous one beset by multiple road closures and delays, and their sleep tonight will be interrupted by the sound of falling trees.
Their players will be far too knackered to play football. :p
Sooo looking forward to this game. Seems ages since we last played at the Amex, (the Chelsea game last month). Be great to actually travel to a game in daylight again!
Villa to follow just a week later too of course, a veritable football feast of home fixtures all of a sudden.
