Early bath~Cheerio

Sam and I went to see our football team today.

Those of you who have followed me for a while will remember that we support Southampton, which is my home town.

Today we had a relatively short journey to see them, 50 miles to Stoke.

We saw a fantastic game, which ended 3-3, though we did surrender a 3-1 lead and missed a glorious chance to lead 4-1! All that said, Stoke is a very difficult place to go, so I'm happy with that result!

In this shot, one of Stoke's players has been sent off (Red carded) for stamping on one of our players, and the Southampton fans are waving cheerio to him!!!

[Paul Godfrey]

Great stadium shot, lots of atmosphere.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Nice title! LOL!

[Lisabell]

Nice shot! Apparently you don’t suffer the same kind of winters we do.

[Sharon Lee]

Love the silhouettes of the crowd

[8yearson]

Very atmospheric Sean, sounds like it was a nail biting game!

[👑 AnaZad]

Great capture. Love the green lawn. I'm sure you had a great time.

[Lyn]

I love your shots of your sports outings, Sean. . .it just shows what an effort you make to support the teams and your sons. And you have such a love of life viewpoint through it all!

[Al Bailey]

Lol ....... having been to a few Preston North End games .... I can almost hear the chants as the footballer walks off the pitch! nice shot :)

[Phil]

Classic shot and great colour and clarity for such a scene! My nephew is a Stokey.. wonder if he was there on 'the other side' !

[fife]

50 miles! Jeez.

[Ross Walker]

A very memorable shot to show how you enjoyed the game. I was an Ipswich fan back in the 60's in East Suffolk.

[David]

50 miles to watch a bunch of ...........!! There may have been a time when I used to do the same! It's a good shot!
