The match also coincided with the opening of a new branch of the Official Arsenal Cape Town Supporters Club, which they were celebrating with by having a big braai (BBQ) before the game, and we were invited to come along!
We needed to get a lift though, and the night before, Conan didn't seem to keen for going. Luckily, overnight his mood changed and he messaged us at 8am, to say he was coming to pick us up at 1!
On goes the Arsenal shirt, then after downing lunch we met Conan outside the front of the Retirement Village. We then left to go to his mums house to pick up his brother, and his mate, who were coming to watch the game with us.
When we arrived the mood was already high, with Arsenal flags and banners being held and used for photos. But as it got closer to kick off, the atmosphere got better, as more and more people turned up.
After taking loads of photos of the supporters club, it was time to all head inside to watch the game, and what a game it was! 5-0 to Arsenal! It was incredible. After every goal the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing, and everyone was singing and chanting, it was brilliant.
To thank Conan for bring us along to the last 2 games, Martin and I also paid for him to have Premium Membership with the Arsenal Supporters Club, which he seemed happy about, which was nice.
Afterwards we hung around, as Conan's brother cooked up some sausages for us all to eat, and they were delicious. Soon enough, it was time to head off.
Conan's brother was DJing what seemed to be a private party above a restaurant down at the Waterfront, so we went along to hang out there for a little bit. He also appeared in the Rolling Stones magazine, too. So expectations were high. Unfortunately, because the parking was restricted, we weren't able to stay long enough to see him play.
After an incredible day, Conan dropped us off back at the retirement village, where I'm hoping to get an early night, as the atmosphere, aswell as the heat, has completely taken it out of me.
