[Travel Blog]Travelling with Ray to Southampton, United Kingdom

Dear Steemians,

Today I want to bring you guys to Southampton, UK. I went there last week to watch a football match of Southampton FC vs Manchester City FC which was the last round of the Premier League. It was a shame because it was my first time to watch a football match since I have been UK for a year.

今天我會帶大家到英國修咸頓去看一埸英超足球比賽: 修咸頓對曼城。這亦是我來英國差不多一年唯一觀看的足球賽事。

I am neither a Southampton nor Manchester City fans. Originally, I want to watch Liverpool because of their attacking style or Spur vs Leicester city as I believed that it will be a match with a lot of goals. However, their tickets were sold out already, so I chose to watch Southampton instead.

我既不是修咸頓球迷也不是曼城球迷。原本,我打算看利物浦的比賽因為他們華麗的進攻,或者看熱刺對李斯特城因為我覺得這會是一埸入球大的賽事。但他們的門票一早就售罄了。所以最後選擇了看修咸頓。

I travelled to Southampton to Bath by train. To be honest, it was the first time to get on a UK train, I used to travel by National Express. I travelled by train because it is cheaper and faster. The ticket is 16 pounds for a round trip and it took about 1.5 hours.

我到修咸頓是坐火車的。因為這方法比坐大巴更平更快。由巴斯出發,車票是來回16磅,耗時1.5小時。

When I got closer to Southampton, there were more and more Southampton fans got on the train. I followed the fans to the St. Mary stadium to prevent getting lost. After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the stadium. I spent some time to visit the stadium and kit shops and enjoy the chanting.

當我越來越接近修咸頓,我看到越來越多修咸頓球迷上車。當到達車站時,我緊隨著他們到球埸避免迷路。在半小時的步行後,我到達了St.Mary球埸,在外面遊覽了一番。

I went into the stadium one hour before the match. I bought a Northam stand ticket because all the craziest fans are there. And I want to experience how crazy they are.

我早了一小時進入看台。我今次買了北看台的位置因為據說,所有最痴線的球迷都會在這裡,我想感受一下他們有多瘋。

Here I am. I deliberately wore red clothes to match with the Southampton fans. The stadium was full. We were standing, yelling, clapping and chanting for the whole match. Despite how tired it was, the fans never stopped shouting. There were multiple golden chances but we couldn't scores. It was very frustrating that the team lost at the 93' minute. I noticed that both the players and fans were very disappointed. So was I. Luckily this match was not a critical match that will affect the rank of the league. And Southampton can be able to remain in the Premier League for the next season.

我特登穿著紅色衣服以融入主埸球迷。我們全埸一直站著,叫著,唱著。儘管我們有多累,都沒有停止。我們有幾次黃金埋門機會,但都沒法化為入球。直至補時階段,我們始終失守了。我留意到球迷們都十分失望,我也是。畢竟我們也叫得聲嘶力竭。幸運地,這埸比賽只是風流波,並不是決定聯賽排名的重要賽事。而修咸頓也能夠繼續留在英超,沒有降班。

In the end, the club started to celebrate the end of this season and thank all the fans who continue supporting them in the season especially in the last few matches. And it was very touching and I noticed some of the fans' eyes were full of tears. Because they nearly relegate to a lower division.

最後,球會舉行慶祝活動,答謝球迷們在整個賽季的支持,尤其是最尾幾埸的關鍵賽事。埸面十分感人,我也留意到部分球迷眼濕濕,畢竟他們差點就要降班踢英冠了。
