Onward and upward

At Stadium MK we were met by Carol, a Hereford United supporting member of the MK Dons staff. She invited us in for tea and also made a generous donation towards the fund. After appearing with us in a photograph. Carol presented us with an autographed ball, for our memorabilia auction. A big thank you to Carol and all at MK Dons for their support.

A fleeting visit to Northampton followed, then we moved on to The Walkers Stadium, Leicester. There we rendezvoused with members of the East Midlands Grecians, who kindly supplied us with tea and biscuits as well as moral support for our wearying group. We must say thank you to the guys for a much needed boost!

In a bid to make up time, we spent the majority of the small hours undertaking a whistle stop tour of the East Midlands an Yorkshire. The clubs we visited at this time were: Burton Albion, Derby County (thanks to the security man for allowing us access), Notts County, Nottm Forest (Stanno's favourite club), Lincoln City, Hull City (which necessitated a 3 man sprint to access the stadium!), Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Chesterfield, Sheffield Utd, Sheffield Weds, Rotherham, Barnsley, Huddersfield, Bradford and Leeds Utd.

Despite our best efforts, we are still running approx. 5 hours behind schedule. If you are wanting to meet us today, feel free to get in touch for accurate as possible arrival times. Any messages of support would be greatly appreciated!
