I was stood on the back row of block 25 today. There were a sprinkling of others stood at the back of the nearby blocks, not many people around, no issue at all. About 4 blocks over, a pink-bibbed steward spent most of the first half trying to get a couple of people on the back row to sit down...

Local rivalry aside, i've got nothing against Leicester. Very similar city to Cov, and the football teams weren't so different until a decade ago.

I would take 9 in a heartbeat if it was offered to me.

I raced a downhill fell race on new year's eve. 2.2 miles from the summit of Moel Famau in north-East Wales, down to a pub in a village at the bottom. Weather was shocking on the summit as we waited to start. At the start it was the usual chaos with everyone charging for a good position on the...

Nuneaton & Bedworth have a facebook page.

This is the issue.... fans just lap up all the shit, shrug their shoulders, and say "well this is the modern game". (i'm not claiming to know the solution either!)

This is why the game of football has basically gone to shit. "shithousing" is now such a part of the game that we are happy to see our own team do it. Personally i'd rather not bother paying £30+ to hope my club time-waste.

Club night last night in the deserted, wet and windy Warwick Uni Campus. A continuous hill session of 4 miles. There were only two of us last night, and the other guy is a regular inter-counties runner for Warwickshire, and won the xmas day parkrun, so it was a pretty lonely session for me as i...

You'd be surprised the amount of people this refers to. I've had to buy tickets for a music event this morning. It was plain and simple.... the first 100 in the priority list got half an hour to buy their tickets. The remaining thousands, no matter what your previous place in the entry queue...

Yes i noticed the Cov Half reverting back to what i think is its original time of year. My next road outing (aside from the Midlands/National Road Relays which i do for the club), is likely to be the Ribble Valley 10km, which will be this time next year. One of the quickest 10km's in the...

Kitching sent off after the whistle. Also a Wednesday player

I'll post one up next time i play. Which will undoubtedly be in the next day or two.

I tend to know the overriding principles of openings, but like yourself i don't put the effort in to learn specific lines in great detail.... for black in the French and King's Indian for example, i know what i'm trying to achieve but wouldn't even be able to write down my first ten moves...

Anyone on here still playing chess? I play a lot online.... on longer games, 10mins and upwards, my rating usually hovers somewhere between 1800-1850...... if i really spend time studying i find myself pushing well into the 1900's, but that requires a lot of time for me. I most often play...

They were getting 20+ in League One more often than not. Whichever way you spin it, that is "good"

Lovely day (if a bit windy) at the county champs yesterday. Good day for Godiva.... In the ladies race, we took gold and silver, but Nuneaton Harriers really performed well, and we only beat them to the team gold by a single point. In the mens, we were edged out by the mighty Birchfield...

Warwickshire Cross Country Champs today in Smethwick. Smethwick clearly not part of Warwickshire now, but for athletics purposes, Warwickshire is the "old" county, with large parts of Birmingham included. Last year we won the men's gold team and i nabbed a bronze in the master's team (over...

I'd snap your hand off for two points over the next two games. Can't see anything today, but probably a draw with Sunderland.

I'm a fan of giving away fans a big allocation. It enhances the overall atmosphere, the majority of the time. Harking back to Highfield Road again, the atmosphere was always better when the Sky Blue Stand had 3-4k away fans packing it. Ideal situation for me would be similar to West Brom...

Raced on the fells last night in Shropshire. Weather was absolutely shocking, meaning my headtorch basically just reflected the rain/sleet/mist/my own cold breath, straight back into my face. Although the course was marked with luminous sticks, lost the way a couple of times on the way up...
