A&nbsp - thoroughl y enjoyable day all round.&nbsp - &nbsp - &nbsp - A whole group of us went down!&nbsp - I got dropped off at Pageys and got the bus upto Ipswich, we met up with Ed and Joe at Ipswich station.&nbsp - I had a quick chat with a couple of my Cricket mates who were also going to the match, they were all coming back for the end of season do which was in the evening but I decided against it!&nbsp - Hibs and Steve and Stat were all on the train already and already on the Beer, Steve drinking 9% special brew stuff.&nbsp - Journey down there was fairly uneventful, Loz got on at Colchester and Chris met us all in the Slug @ Fulham after we had made our way across London.&nbsp - The atmosphere in the pub was great, Town fans singing loads and the pub was crammed.&nbsp - The highlight in there being the 2 piles of empty beer glasses that we stacked up and then crammed into an alcove.&nbsp - Also funny was some idiot who decided he was hard to still smoke even though its now banned “they ain’t fucking stopping me” I think is what he said – well done mate!&nbsp - &nbsp - Made the short trip to the ground itself which was imposing from the outside, once inside we bumped into Miller.&nbsp - The atmosphere was brilliant from the Town fans and Chelsea for all their reputation were as quite as anything.&nbsp - Town played really well,&nbsp - Garvan looked Premiership quality and it was the best I have seen Danny Haynes play, he looked pacey and got in some decent positions just lacked the final delivery and finish on a couple of occasions.&nbsp - It was 1-1 at half time Town equalised a Ballack opener and deserved to go in level.&nbsp - Pagey in his over elaborate celebrations decided to bump Ed into me and I nearly ended up falling over the row in front of me had it not been for the row behind grabbing me!&nbsp - Loz was having great fun having verbal with a twat behind us who was insisting we should all sit down, fucking idiot if he wants to sit down to watch the game should have watched the game at home!&nbsp - TBC
