Taken from the 'crow's nest'. Stood up there for years, and it seems like yesterday. Hard to believe that none of this exists any more.

Wow I don't remember the part-built Sky Blue Stand! I was only a young kid at the time though. The terrace at the west end was always called the 'west end' regardless of its formal name. Edit: even after the seats were put in.

He was just trying to keep things lighter.

Would someone like Norton-Cuffey come here to play second fiddle though?

Evo, have you got a link to the website? I'm curious about the date of the photos - would guess somewhere around 1978 to 1980? Cameras weren't great in those days were they :ROFLMAO:

The first one is the side terracing in front of the Sky Blue stand, the second one is the West End. Both bring back so many memories. That fencing was horrible, but somehow it came to be accepted.

What delightful planet have we landed on, where we now appear in the same sentence as the 'a' word?

Your philosophy is clear 'mate', but there is no need for winners and losers in this case. Why is encouragement for families 'capped'? The offer is great, and there's room in the stadium to meet all the likely demand from people with kids.

Adele can't make extra tickets available by opening more blocks, but CCFC can. If Pete had got in in time, by definition somebody else and their kid(s) would have missed out, and now be having to pay vastly more and it would be 'their fault'. If I understand it correctly, the club has elected...

Invite Kevin Kyle to do the keynote speech?

That's two best qualities. Is his chief weapon surprise?

That's the song sorted then - 'Tack och stort lycka till, Yasin Ayari!'

Godden scored in the 39th minute. Cannot understand the idea of travelling to Swansea for a football match, missing a chunk of it to go looking for a drink, and feeling hard done by for missing a goal.

Blimey

Been chopping up onions?

I just read that post out loud, and you pronounced van Ewijk wrong.

I see the club are advertising for a Head of Performance Analysis. Seems unnecessarily extravagant, when they can just crowdsource on here.

I reckon his current all-round performances are as good as I've seen from him. If only he'd buried one of those shots at Leicester. Sluggish for a lot of last season, but clearly motoring now.

Yes and despite that, mostly did a fine job of defending too. It's such a tough position to play. Bidwell is more limited on the ball than Da Silva, which I presume is why he's lost his place (at least for now) but I hope he stays because you need different types of player in that position...

But it's clear that the wingbacks have been asked to push high up the pitch. If we lose the ball there are definitely going to be times when the space behind the wingbacks will be exploited. They can't be everywhere at once so will be 'out of position'. There are inherent risks (as well as...
