In this situation, I take on the persona of Mr Blobby and start replying 'blob, blob, blob, ooh Blobby' which usually works. They think I'm a gibbering idiot and move on to someone else. Also works well with unwanted phone calls.

Bawtry, only out of interest - did I bump into you by the Novotel whilst walking to the Ricoh for a night game a couple of years ago? Whoever it was said they were from near Doncaster and were travelling on to Wrexham after the game.

Not much backbone here in Crewe I'm afraid although I know of another City fan in Middlewich about 5 miles away. I'm originally from Allesley Park which wasn't exactly a hotbed of passion either, although years ago there were always queues at the newsagents waiting for the Pink to be delivered.

It's also amazing how some posters are all over this thread like a rash but can't be bothered to contribute to today's match thread.

Christ nothing like a glass half full, fetch the noose! We did the double over Crewe the last season we met with an aggregate score of 8-2.

And only 6pts if we beat them.

Cov scoring all the tries. So far much closer than we all thought.

HT: Old Albanians 13 Cov 14

Yes only a couple of typo's so far :angelic:

Are you the film critic for Saga magazine by any chance Gazolba?

I wonder if there would also be any interest in former players recalling their first game for the City, to form a joint book of fans memories? There is a thriving Former Players Association of i think 100+ members so access to them shouldnt be too difficult. Many of the fans memories here recall...

And also very lucrative for the self-serving judicial system. I'm sure we know how this is likely to end, but not before the legal eagles have put it all through the mincer (again) at £250 per hour. Nice work if you can get it.

Middlesex and Yorkies the last 2 winners of the County Championship, at least we're in good company. Muted congratulations to Worcester with their successful squad development and the best spectator ground in the country IMO. Strugglethough to warm to Steve Rhodes who comes across as bitter and...

Firstly, this is an initiative from CRFC targeted at CCFC season ticket holders - not the other way round. Secondly, whilst I'm all for maximising support for CCFC, how many incremental fans do you think CCFC would gain from people who are first and foremost Wasps supporters? I suspect the...

Why? They are the cuckoo in the bloody nest.

Think that was the game Forest got the point that won them the title. Big crowd c.36k and a worldie save from Shilton to deny Mick Ferguson.

I remember a home game v Stoke around that time where we lost 0-3 and City had a late penalty. Plenty of us were leaving the Sky Blue Stand and tried to get back in to see the penalty....which was missed. Kick offs were 3.15 back then, I think to accommodate the large number of factory workers...

Yep agree. I didn't know of the family connection with Bell and Troughton which is bound to lead to conflict somewhere down the line. Like you, I'd be in favour of bringing in an outsider as coach to work under Giles.

Can't help but feel a lot of this revolves around Ashley Giles. He seems a very astute Director of Cricket and the rot appeared to set in when he left for Lancashire and maybe much of the vision and strategy left with him. I'm glad that he has come back, albeit too late really for this season...

I see that SBT and this thread in particular is mentioned in his last but one blog, talking about spreading the CRFC word with friends, family and in the community. He is surprised there is a CRFC thread on a CCFC forum.....so well done ISSS.
