My daughter came home from uni this weekend so we could go and see the Plymouth Argyle, Bristol City match. The kick off was at 12.30 and we set off from home at about 9.15 so we had plenty of time to park up and get to our seats.
On the way down the A38 there were a couple of police cars parked on slip roads leading on to the motor way which slowed up the traffic causing us to worry that we would miss the start of the match. As we past the second police car we spotted lots of coaches parked in a lay-by with lots of police bikes. The coaches were full of Bristol City supporters who were going to get an escort to the match. We wondered why the police were taking such precautions when we've never seen this before with any other match we've been to.
While looking on UTube tonight I came across the video below and now I know why there were worries about the City supports.
The match was a good one although a bit disappointing as, with Plymouth with a one nil lead we then gave them an own goal ending in a result of a one all draw
Was it worth sitting in the cold and wet for one point? It sure was!
