Your Match Routine..

Considering I live in NYC and matches are always before noon, my match routine is a bit different from the rest of you.

1. make a cup of coffee to ease hangover

2. Put on City shirt, (2012-2013 home)

3. Consider going to mad hatter saloon but realize I woke up too late to make it for kickoff.

4. Get bagel sandwich from corner store

5. Turn on TV and watch the match
 
Put on my current City home shirt .
Have a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal .
Drive for an hour to the Ethihad .
Have a cheese burger and a pint at Mary Ds and get a programme.
Then match time in the south stand near the corner flag .

Still haven't got a routine and haven't really had one since Maine Road. Either Midd or town pre match with the boys for a booze at about 12 for a 3 ko. Convince myself I'll eat, never do. Taxi to the ground from either, pissed up by now. Avoid the paying seat. Miss kick off (they've started without us again). Have a sing song, a laugh and enjoy watching the best team in the country. End up pissed somewhere for the night. Doghouse next morning with the mrs. Watch motd back to see what happened. Check phone to see what happened. Apologise till midweek. Repeat.
 
Same boxer shorts and socks for the last 10 city wins in a row! Never washed them yet either and no intention until the awful feeling of defeat arrives! City winning more important than personal hygiene for a couple of hours!

Depends on what day it is. A Saturday routine is very different to a Sunday or night matches routine.

For Saturday games the match is a very small part of the day out on the piss. It's a shit and a shower, sausage butty, Met to town, beers around town, beers near the ground, the match, beers near the ground, beers in town into the small hours of Sunday morning and a day in bed on Sunday.

For Sunday and night matches I drive to the game, get to my seat early, watch the match, watch the match highlights on the screens and wait for everyone to leave the ground, then have a burger outside the ground and wait for the crowds to die down then drive home again.

What language is that?
 
Like to get there early, buy programme from same booth (was gutted when the usual seller left), get chips from the same stall, and go in same entrance. Like to watch warm up. Wear lucky undies but unlike poster above mine have to be freshly washed!! Stay until all players have left the pitch!!

I've been doing this for 10 years.
 
I remember the days I had a routine.


Wake up pissed on a sofa and eat what's left of the previous nights takeaway.

Get picked up and play 5 a side.

Get home - have a smoke in the bath.

Meet my Dad at 1ish in whatever pub we'd decided on that week.

Wander to ground taking in a couple of extra pints.

Watch a shite game of football.

Have a few more pints and a laugh with my Dad.

Meet mates and go out properly.

Try and stay awake to watch recording of MOTD.
