Surreal pre match so far; departing train station is also an active steam railway, so loads of steam related activities going on.
Despite being in the middle of nowhere, 8 Boro fans boarded where I did, and each stop at the next tiny village even more get on. I suppose it probably is the closest “big team” to the Moors.
And my station might have had an active steam railway line, but the coffee shop refused to open even a minute early for me to get a coffee/food etc, and there’s no service on this tiny train.
All in all; just glad the train turned up and I’m on route now - just got to work out where to go once I get there!
Any pubs likely to show the game? Gutted we’re not on sky, would watch on iFollow but am concerned I’ll get updates before the stream catches up… would much prefer to watch in the pub
