If i remember correctly the walk from the coaches to the ground took about 30 minutes, why the police could not park us closer i never understood, another freezing away game, football is full of weird happenings, at this game there was about 200 Saints fans up there, we were on the terracing all wrapped up in coats jumpers etc. just before kick off a Middlesborough fan came into the away section with his son wearing shorts and a boro top, and started shouting at us that we were soft southerners and that it was a lovely warm day.
