4th in the table indicates they are having a good season so far and good luck to them. But on the evidence yesterday they were not a good side, far from it.

Fleetwood are NOT a good side, let's be honest.

Exactly my feelings, an awful game between two poor sides. Never seen so much head tennis in my life and don't think we would have scored if we'd played till midnight. Whilst having a fag at half time I saw 4 people asking the stewards to let them out as they had seen enough. Burge at fault...

Well said that man, too much focus on quantity and nowhere near enough on quality.

Remember thinking at the time that the Mirafiori Sport was a challenger to the RS2000, mechanically speaking anyway. Also the Dolly Sprint and a shout too for the Hunter GLS, a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

Had some Law lectures in the Winfrey annexe whilst studying at the Tech. Can't remember going in the Hen & Chicks but will confess to many a pleasant lunchtime spent in the Victoria Billiards Club.

Small world. I only knew him to say hello to, seemed a nice bloke and ran Winsford News for many many years.

Right then Eugene, can we put you down for the centre spread on all CCFC news and inside information from the previous 7 days? Shouldn't be too difficult, just need to copy and paste from SBT and you'll have more than enough copy. Maybe we could get King Tony covering the Manager's press...

Maybe you could use the pen name King Tony? Nobody would ever know :happy:

We didn't have the luxury of being on a Pink round. Had to wait in a queue outside the newsagents until the van turned up and then a mad scramble to make sure you got a copy. Talk about hot off the press, the poor old newsagent Bill Sutton couldn't get the string cut quick enough.

I'd give it a go too. It was always the focal point for news about the City, Cov Rugger, Nuneaton Boro, Bedworth, AP Brakes etc, Sunday league footy, Bees speedway and plenty more. As Calista said, articles were written factually and we were probably spoilt by the quality of reporting from Derek...

And when I left home in the late 70's, my Dad posted the Pink to me each week without fail for the next 15 years or so. Read it in the same style as you but usually on a Tuesday night.

Agree with this and would add that we are also the worst optimists in football as well. In little more than a week, we have gone from hailing Slade as some sort of Messiah and giving him until the end of January, to talk of possible relegation. Like you said, a win against Chesterfield and no...

LOL...and Gilbert's spinning it well too.

Looking at his photo he has more chins than the Beijing phone directory.

Bloody hell good memory. We were terrible in the first game but I didn't go when we played them again. Wasn't Dennison unbeaten in 6 or 7 games as caretaker?

Certainly agree with Yorath, not only a midfield general but also captain of a very good City team. Many great memories of the 77-78 season in particular. Maybe being 'very hard' was a result of his education at Leeds United? o_O

I can remember a game at HR v Sheff Utd being abandoned due to snow with them leading 2-0 well into the game. Think we managed to win the re-arranged game 3-2 :happy:

Having worked at manufacturer level in the automotive industry for 35+ years, I can confirm that Grendel is correct on this point. Dealers are franchised representatives at a local level of the manufacturer. Usually they are able to resolve most issues directly with customers without any...

I've had one of their pies and can assure you it caused much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
