a mate of mine knows these pensioners, all ex engineers so have cushy pensions to live off, who actually do just drive to games around the country they have bets on. theres normally just 3 of them on a weekend but they leave the wives behind on a saturday morning and head off to grounds in scotland and england, putting £100 quid each on the games.. if they win then the fuel and beer is paid for and if they lose they dont really care.
normally stick to lower league games but have been known to cheer on wigan in the past, hink theyve been going to a few leigh rmi games lately
would love to do it myself but sadly i havent worked as a civil engineer for 40 years!
as it happens, being an inverness fan ive been to almost every ground in scotland, in the last 14 years we've come from the 3rd to the prem, did it in 10 actually without gretna or even livis investment, ive seen a few of our lads play infront of crowds of 200 in the 3rd and giving the same 100% they now do against celtic or rangers. its easy for me to picture match reports and weigh up teams chances having been to alot of these grounds, it makes a huge difference as im sure youll see for yourself on saturday
