Last Terriers Game

Andy Booth and Harry

My hubby, son and I are Huddersfield Town football fans. My son has been a season ticket holder since he was three. We decided as it could be our last game, we'd make the trip to London to see the Terriers (Huddersfield Town's nick name for those not in the know!) last game of the season at Leyton Orient.

Huddersfield had very kindly let my son, Harry be their mascot and lead the team out as it was possibly his last game - how exciting is that! I can't praise the footballers enough they were so friendly, signed his shirt and were just lovely. I'm not sure who was more star struck though me or him!

It was a good game the town fans were fantastic singing the whole way through the match. It ended in a 1 - 1 draw, which felt right nothing was riding on the game. It felt rather poignant possibly being our last game as it was also town legend - 'Sir' Andy Booth's last game. I felt a bit tearful really at the end and it started me thinking about the things I'll miss when/if we go to New Zealand!

The other highlight of our weekend in London was a trip to the new Wembley Stadium. What a fantastic Stadium it is and the tour guide, Chris, who took us round made it a great tour. Did you know... there are 2618 toilets in Wembley and the boxes cost £2.4million for 10 years! I can definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting London.

Other than that London was busy, tiring, expensive but I still love it - but just for a weekend!
