I think you used to be able to do this but not any more

I was going to raise this too. I think it should apply to all concessionary seats. It’s correct that people should pay the correct price, that adults don’t get in on a child’s ticket for example. I tried to upgrade my mates OAP ticket to an adult for the Swansea game. As we had already paid...

Not over the 120 minutes we didn’t.

I don’t understand why some people can’t look at Robin’s record here before writing him off. It took him 3 games to turn around the team heading for relegation to League Two. After those games that team ( who had been hopeless all season) were getting play off chasing results and also won at...

I was in there today to try and upgrade a ticket. Can’t do that online (and as it turns out, you can’t do it in person either) A chap ahead of me in the queue was there because he was trying to buy two half ST in seats that were together. Because his computer was only showing Swansea tickets, he...

I think your memories playing tricks on you. The keep ball phase of that game was only the last 5 minutes at most. According to Tommy Hutchison, both sets of players had received messages from the sidelines and knew the Sunderland result before it was flashed on the score board. Gordon Milne...

I think Brian Clough, while a Sunderland player for a couple of years, was actually born in and played for Middlesbrough.

The difference between now and pre PL is that is that clubs could reach the top without having a billionaire owner. Their rise would be down to the talent of the manager and his skill in putting a competitive team together, helped by the fact that in those days there was no freedom of contract...

My favourite ever game. That second half was the best performance by a City team (there’s only one City and that’s us!) that I have ever seen. I think we would have beaten 70s Brazil that night.

Anyone who would still like a signed copy of the Tommy Hutchison book can pick one up from Pop’s Hairdresser’s on Wallace Road Radford. Dave Larkin (Pop), the proprietor, is kindly selling a few books for me. He is a big City fan and if you stop by, you can have a chat about all things Sky Blue...

Apologies to Harry as I know it’s not you who wrote the post I responded too. It won’t let me edit your name 🙄

I’m no apologist for Aston Villa, but to dismiss their history is to ignore the fact that they have a trophy laden past. I would also take exception to the idea that the European Cup was irrelevant when they won it. I think football fans paid far more attention to the competition as it was then...

He was asked before the broadcast started what he’d had for lunch. His reply of Weetabix was I think a joke.

Surely Moussa’s equaliser, after all of the time wasting that went on ( including Joe Murphy having to go into the stand at one point to retrieve the ball which the Preston fans were holding on to) trumps the pitch invader?

The problem isnt the religion, it is the way that men ( and it is almost exclusively men) interpret and twist things in a way that was never part of any religion’s philosophy. As far as I aware most world religions would have a creed of kindness, tolerance and respect for others. It’s people...

Elsie Tanner liked him

I think you would struggle to justify anyone who hadn't played in the top league. We were there for 34 years so the players of that period should be the best we have had. Having said this, I do think the standard of football now is better than it was and so some of the top flight players we have...

It wasn’t an easy chance. Firstly the timing of his run, secondly being able to hit a travelling ball first time with power and accuracy, both show his ability. The chap sat behind me who had been slating him throughout the game was sat on his hands when Godden scored. His dislike for the player...

Nice to see another Tufty Club member.

I think it will price many people out of going. The Championship may be a great league and we play lovely, exciting football, but at that cost you would need to have a well paid job to attend more than on the odd special occasion, particularly with a family.
