Away Day Get Up?

Football isn't something that's always top of the agenda these days, I'm more likely to be pacing a train station forecourt ready to make my way to a nighter or to go exploring somewhere in some shape or form, than attend a match.

However, tomorrow sees the Return of my beloved home town team, Newport County, to the dizzy heights of the National conference. Fate would have it that first game of the season has pitched the club against relegated Darlington F.C.

As i sit here and type, rather wired and starting to regret agreeing to be picked up at 8.30am for what is likely to be a mind numbing journey i couldn't help but think of all the times i would be in this position, awaiting the break of light to go and meet my mates for a good old fashioned away day.

Of course, for the style conscious amongst us, you know what it's like and the pre-planning of what your going to wear, for those all but (now) infrequent visits to the football.

So here we are, something I've not done in a long time:- Opening day look... Universal Works, Mikkel Rude, Nudie and Superga. Perhaps this outfit will add some colour to a bleak and grim Durham landscape. I hear it's pretty grim up north...
