The alarm went off at 05:30 yesterday morning, I joined Horsham Mark on the 06:39 from Horsham to London Bridge. All going well: breakfast at Euston and on-time departure for Birmingham New Street but we then found ourselves sitting on the train at Rugby for nearly an hour due to an incident near Birmingham Airport. We jumped off and re-routed ourselves via Tamworth and made Burton by 12:20. Time for a couple of pints in town before heading up to the Pirelli.
Time for a couple of post-match pints in Burton before heading south. Got home just after 22:30.
Worth every pound and every minute
