Southend Awayday

Look who's top of the League! I went to Southend yesterday to watch a thrilling match that Tranmere won 2-1 taking us to the top of League 1. The atmosphere was great and of course it was lovely to be beside the seaside...


Southend's ground, Roots Hall, is a bit old and small but it has quite a lovely charm that many modern stadiums lack. Nevertheless, I was very envious of Sara who went to Barcelona last week for a work conference and managed to squeeze in a trip to Barcelona's Nou Camp ground! As you can see, it's a bit bigger than Roots Hall...


Between us, we've both now been to the two biggest football stadiums in Europe (the other being Wembley), something that I'm tragically quite proud about!
