Who am I? And why am I writing and away day guide?

Well, I'm a 20 year old student from Glasgow and I'm happy(ish) to confirm that I support Partick Thistle. As part of my Digital Marketing module at university, I have been instructed to create a blog in which you can write about any subject. So racked my brain for ideas to zero success until one recent penniless Friday night I was stuck in the house instead of down the local pub and who should come on my TV screen? None other than Kingsley the mascot! Now if you don't know who, or what, Kingsley is then where have you been?! He is the latest face to our Football club, now I'll let you come to your own conclusions about what you think of him but he did serve as inspiration for my guide so thank you Kingsley!

It was after that I returned thought to our up coming game against Dundee United, an away Scottish cup tie is always a good day out for any fan. I had never been before but like a typical student I went to bed and left to a later minute.

I was 20 minutes away from Dundee until it dawned on me that I did not have a clue where I was going. Phone already on 70%, after leaving at 100%, I frantically searched google maps to find my way to the ground. Internet signal was all but non existent and 15 minutes later I had my route planned out. I arrived in Dundee hungry and thirsty, my phone was on 50% and there was only 20 minutes until kick off. No time for a pint :(. I dived in to a closest chip shop and probably had the worst bag of chips Dundee had to offer all washed down with a can of coke. I rushed to Tanadice in high spirits and confident of a good result.

We lost 1-0

All of this accumulated into a very poor day in general. So this is why I am writing an away day guide. If I had a comprehensive away day guide I could have arrived earlier, knew my route to the ground, found a good place to eat and even have time for a pint!
