Total Distance Travelled - About 110 miles
Travelling time - 2hrs 30 mins
Weather - Lovely , Summer in October?
Soundtrack - Good ole conversation ... Anyone remember that? Radio Norfolk and Radio 5

The journey was straight forward and Wroxham were pretty dam efficient in the way they organised entry to the ground and car parking(guess they missed the two fans that we had hidden in the boot though).It would of been interesting if the heavens had opened on the car parking front.
I have to say that is the oddest legal way I have ever entered a Football ground.
Good quick service in the bar (not overly expensive either this time)with the view whilst being served very pleasant indeed.
All of the alcoholics also got into the bar for half time as well. Get more organised other people.
Great to see so many fans at the game though the lay out of the ground and the actual game itself meant that the crowd were very quiet.
The game itself was a bit of a non event like all hyped events.We controlled the game from start to finish,never really getting out of bottom gear and always looking like the eventual winners.Fair play to Wroxham they kept going and had a couple of average chances but the game was never in doubt.
Well played the midfield and the two..,Yes i said two forwards.At last we are getting there Keith.In all a very professional Job to secure the £7500 and a place in Mondays draw.
After estimating an hour of getting out of the car park we dived for the car on the final whistle and again due to good organisation were on to the main road in a matter of minutes..Older age is creeping,I will be leaving a game early next just to be first off the car park.
A few other bits from the day
A good tale told by the Fighter of his skirmish with Norfolks finest(umm)..this week.Nothing like police overkill and then realising they have got it wrong again...Learning to read the alphabet helps plod.It will be interesting to hear if they apologise at the very least.
Happy birthday to the Shrimp man who hit his mid twenties yesterday and I would guess has the hangover to prove it this morning.Talking of heavy heads,A very loud shout out to the Tote seller girl and the Woolwich Boot Merchant to aid their recovery from the Juice of doom.
Good to meet B.U yesterday.Get that reunion sorted.
A Big Get well soon to Mushy who has had a few difficulties with his heart this week.
