The tickets Cousteau-cub bought for the Spurs match
We set off late morning and had a comortable journey up to town, then took the tube across to Seven Sisters. We thought that we'd grab a bite to eat before the game, so as we strolled towards the ground looked out for a pleasant eating establishment in which to stop. Unfortunately most of them were completely empty... which was worrying considering 36000 people were strolling by. In the end, I am embarrassed to say, we stopped at McDonald's.
From there we headed onwards to the ground and found our way to our seats about 20 minutes before kick-off. The seats were excellent. We were so close to the pitch that you slip things into the players pockets as they ran past.

A Gorse Fox - Cousteau-cub moment
The second half was just as exciting. The Saints scored quickly after the restart, but Defoe and Keane scored agian to put the game beyond doubt. Finishing at 5-1, it proved to be the perfect game to watch after so many years away from the ground.
The score board at the end, as the big screen shows the highlights.
As we left Cousteau-cub discovered she had lost her purse. This was took the shine off the day, somewhat. She had a Debit card, a few pounds, and her train ticket in the purse. We reported it missing and immediately put a stop on her cards. We managed to get a replacement train ticket without extra charge. On analysis we assume this happened when we were in McDonald's and that she had her pocket picked.
We got home just before 9, and overall had a splendid day out.
