After that we went down to the players tunnel, but we didn’t walk down on to the pitch! Then we went to the changing room and took some photos of me and player shirts.

Afterwards we listened to the tour guide telling us about the Press Room. It was where the journalist would sit and talk about the game they played afterwards.

Then we went to the directors lounge where the Directors would have some food and drink. After that we went to the Directors Box and had a look around and then went to the old players tunnel used in 1910 – 1993.

Who died?

I simply loved the tour so much I want to go there again and learn lots of different things! Though I don’t want to go and watch a match there because the seats are terribly uncomfortable. I could go there every day there isn’t a match because it is so much fun!!!!!! It would be crrammed full of people!

Melton Mowbry and Sherwood Forest

In the morning we set off from the Premier Inn over the hills to a town called Melton Mowbry and bought some pork pies and custard tarts from a shop called Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe.
