For the first time in what seems like an eternity I was reunited with the “NE Celeb Groundhopping Couple” for a midweek jaunt.
We arrived at The Freeman in Carlton at 5.30 for bait and beer, before the short ten minute drive to the ground in Gedling.
These midweek trips meant it’s back to burning the candle at both ends, getting into bed at 1am then up again for graft at 5.20am.
I don't mind this at all, because of changes at work, midweek matches are now the easiest way for me to bag a new ground.
