SAINTS ON TOUR IN SWEDEN
Red and white machinneee!!!
Ten Go Mad In Halmstad
Evening all, having a f**king great time here in Halmstad... it's ridiculously hot, and speaking of hot... you should see some of the totty out here!!!  I think we've only spotted one minger all day, out of at least a thousand birds seen!
Anyway, just to give you a quick run-down of what we've been up to... I arrived at TUS's place in Finsbury Park at about 9:15 last night, we went to the pub for a couple before picking Pav up from the bus station and heading to Stansted. Stopped off at Wet Fart Lane for a quick photo opportunity (I'll reveal the photos later) with our flags, and arrived at the airport at about 2 am. Had a kick-about in the car park for about 10 mins while waiting for the shuttle bus, then when we got to the terminal it was absolutely dead!!
Eventually met up with Rut, Lisa, Burt, Giordano + family and Jill and Jenny (from saintslist) at check-in, had a couple of drinks in the departure lounge (why can't all pubs open at 5am!?) then boarded the plane. Arrived in Malmo at about 9 am local time, had a bite to eat in the railway station where we met Jon Stallard and Richard Ember. Got the train to Halmstad where TUS then took us on another of his magical mystery tours, seemingly walking down every single f**king road in the town before we finally found the hotel!!
Anyway, settled down with a few (i.e. lots) drinks, and wandered around Halmstad.
Went to have a quick look at Halmstad's stadium, found that one of the gates was open so took the opportunity to spy on the conditions pre-match, which included hanging our flags from one of the goalposts and posing for numerous photos! Determined where the cameras are likely to be, and have strategically chosen our seats for the game on Tuesday evening, right next to the dugouts. Although we will have to endure the stupidly bright sunshine right in our eyes, it will be worth it to see the group on telly!
That's enough from me now, everything's too f**king expensive out here for my liking, including this bastard internet cafe (which strangely enough doesn't actually have a cafe - just a load of 12-year-olds playing Command and Conquerer!!)
