I got to watch my first live football of the season today. It is my fault as I have been focussing on the garden and my wife and the television. It was a pleasure to watch Barcelona judging Scottish football and I thought City deserved to beat United. Leicester was undoubtedly the most feelgood factor this week as Bruges buckled under the pressure of Jamie Vardy and his cohorts.
My experience was a treat granted by my company who wanted volunteers to fill their box at St. James Park in Exeter. The original list offered the treat was not the same as the final list of those who accepted as there was a better option available at Sandy Park where Exeter Chiefs were taking on Harlequins. I met some new faces as we settled down to empty the fridge of alcohol and accept the main meal on offer which was acceptable but certainly not restaurant standard.
Following the refreshment we stepped out to occupy our seats. Within minutes the Plymouth attack in the shape of Garity had given deadly rivals Plymouth Argyle the lead. A second goal followed and from that point on the match was never in doubt. Exeter threatened the empty spaces and the fans wide of the two posts but the goal remained completely unassaulted. As a resident here I was embarrassed by the lack of quality that my home team showed.
As far as value for money is concerned I only payed for parking which was slightly more than I would have liked but that is Exeter for you. The experience was a pleasant one ruined only by the performance of my home team. I would probably accept if the offer came up again, but I think they keep a list and my turn will not come for another few years.
I was not convinced that I should pay for the experience.
