I picked up 100FgC Squad#138 Lee Stewart at noon, then drove down the A1/M1/M62 then into Brighouse via the A644. Arrived in the town at ten minutes to two and called for a liquid pit stop(and a new ‘Spoons tick) at The Richard Oastler. At the game saw my stalker Paul Brockettt plus 100FgC Squad#183 and Scarborough Athletic supporter Neil Daniel.
