Hot Bananas
Apparently, according to Deborah Ross in The Times, yesterday, Morrisons put their bananas under special lights to ripen them. She didn’t like it and expressed it this way.
Do I look like the sort of person, who wants to be wiping banana from the ceiling first thing in the morning?
It was all very funny. But it made me extremely unlikely ever to buy anything in Morrisons. et alone a solitary banana.
As I don’t drive, I’m not sure how I could ever visit a Morrisons. Or an Asda for that matter!
But there must be something very un eco-friendly about ripening bananas artificially, so they are actually hot.
On the other hand bananas are very nice, baked in brown sugar and lemon and served with custard.

Back to Home Page Day 8 Day 10
This day is a real odd one with Colchester, Coventry and if possible Crawley Town.
All three are fairly difficult to get from the train station to the football ground and to make matters worse it would appear that the trains to Colchester are subject to maintenance that weekend.
I think it should be possible, except for the fact, that I don’t know the buses at the train station and as it is Sunday can they be relied upon to be working.

This is a much easier day with Charlton and Chelsea, followed by Cheltenham and Chesterfield. The last team can be tacked on as there is a direct train from Cheltenham to Chesterfield.
Cheltenham are at home on the 8th, but it would appear, it’s impossible to see the match and then get back from Chesterfield.

This is three long journeys in one day, assuming that I end up coming back from Manchester on Day 6. But you expect that with Cardiff and Carlisle being two of the farthest clubs from London.

This is not an easy day, with Burnley, Burton Albion and Bury well separated.
I suspect I’ll end up in Manchester about 19:00 and do a quick trip out to Bury on the tram, before taking a train back to London. Or I might get ahead of myself and if there’s a suitable train get down to Cardiff for Day 7.

This is not a difficult day but it does involve a lot of walking in visiting Brentford, Brighton, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers.
It’s the two Bristol clubs that are difficult, so if anybody knows the Bristol buses and the best route from Temple Meads, to City and Rovers and then back to Temple Meads, please let me know.

I’ll spend a long time on a train on this day, as although there are only two clubs to visit; Bournemouth and Bradford. But they are some way apart.
92 Clubs By Public Transport Alphabetically in a Calendar Month – Day 3
This could be one of those days, where I visit four clubs; Birmingham, Blackburn, Blackpool and Bolton. It could just be five if all things go well and I can finish off at Bournemouth.
However after checking the train times. it would appear that to get to Bournemouth is impossible, so it’ll be a return to London and my bed.
I think, I’ll have to assume I’m starting from Barnsley or Birmingham city centre, as it doesn’t look like that on Day 2, I can get home easily.

This is not an easy day, as Aston Villa, Barnet and Barnsley are all within easy walks of train stations, but I do have to go up to Aston Villa and then up to Barnsley, with a short detour from Euston to High Barnet in between.
I should be back from Aston Villa before 15:00 and so should be ready to leave St. Pancras by 16:00.
I think I’ll have to go to Birmingham to start Day 3.

This is an odd day, where I hope to visit Accrington Stanley, Aldershot and Arsenal, but at least I’ll end up in my own bed as the Emirates is just a few kilometres or so from my house.
I shall probably go up to Liverpool the day before and spend the night there.
There are two ways to get from Accrington to Aldershot and a lot depends if I watch all of the game. If I can get a lift in a supporters coach, but not a car, that would probably get me back to Aldershot at around 22:00 or 23:00. Trains are not easy, in that if I leave Accrington on the 17:06 train, I get to Aldershot at 22:19.
The last train back to London leaves at 23:34, but there quite a few of them..
So it is a very tight day.
