The fact that the SISU Fever always increases through a bad spell pretty much says it all about the protesters. Didn't give a toss last year when we were top of the league, but after the second half of last season, and the admittedly alarming start to this season(I do believe it will improve)...

I really do struggle to understand the obsession some have with MK Dons away. Yes they are only a short train ride away, but they have no history, absolutely no rivalry with us, they are a franchise club, and the ground (albeit nice) is in the middle of nowhere.... To a lesser extent I feel the...

Used to go regularly to the reserve games in the mid 90's before we could afford to watch the first team as regularly... Remember one game against Sunderland where a couple of my mates got ejected. Passions running high that night...!! Also remember the youth cup final game vs West Ham, was...

The discussion does seem to have moved on from arguing about the potential Butts capacity.... However I'd just say that in my view, the notion that in the premier league we would need a 30k capacity stadium every week is a bit far fetched. Should we get to the premier league, I think that...

I am a pretty dedicated fell-runner. Ran in the English Champs in the Peak District on Saturday. 181st. It was only 4 miles though, too fast and furious for me. Speciality is longer races. Got 6 races over the summer, in Lake District, Wales and Shropshire, varying between 17 and 25 miles. But...

Hopefully GMK comes back, then I won't have to read the thoughts of some of the utter spastics on here. marcusp being a prime example.

For me, and i'm certain a lot of people my age, Leicester were not even on our radar when we were growing up, so a 'real' rivalry probably didn't develop in our eyes. Must admit as we became more familiar with them my dislike of them grew. Although to be completely honest I spent most of the...

Went up sometime in the lates 2000's... last weekend before xmas, it was bloody freezing, got smashed on the Friday til about 2am... Back in Yates' by 11am on the Saturday, in the ground at 2-59.... By ten past 3 we were at least 1 down, possibly 2, and Kevin Kyle had been sent off. After a...

I guess it depends where you live and your age, etc.... When I was 'growing up' (mid-late 90's) it was Villa that was always the big game, although they were a different level to us most of the time, they were the biggest rival, and it could also be a rough place to visit. With no disrespect...

I think it takes an 'exceptional' situation like the current one, to show up how you really feel about times. Whilst I dislike Leicester in general, due to the local rivalry which does exist, i'd certainly like to see them stick two fingers up to the 'big' teams. Long may it continue and I hope...

I read that book about the English season-ticket holder at Hellas, i'm sure you know the one I mean.... the chapters about the away trips to Bari, Lecce and Napoli were decent, but he spent too much time going on about poetry, etc, for my liking.... you must've seen some interesting things...

To be fair, most fans in Italy are necking expressos before they go onto the terraces, rather than pints... no wonder they are so hyper...! real shame about the ultras situation in Rome at the moment, think Napoli and Atalanta will be the next trips.

It is fairly shocking. I got in at 2-30 and then queued up for 20 minutes to get a bottle of Coke, as I didn't fancy missing half the game by attempting to queue up at HT. 6 people behind the concourse, why don't they have 3 competent people behind there and open twice as many stands...

I've had Middlesboro, QPR and Swindon Middlesboro 3-0 up, Swindon losing at the moment.

I played sunday football for many years in both the Cov league and the Nuneaton league. I felt in general the Cov league was generally a nicer league to play in, but when things kicked off it could get really bad. The Nuneaton league was littered with red cards, violence towards refs and each...

In my view this is exactly the sort of thing we could/should have done..... It was pre-planned on at least one Blackpool message board, and apparently large sections of the police and stewards were in full support.... I'm not exactly in the 'SISU Out' camp, but I'm bloody angry at the state of...

I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if repeating what anybody else has said.... If you list out all league teams, and put them in order of 'size of club'..... we could be placed anywhere between bottom of 1st division and middle of 2nd division, depending on your particular...

Usually stand there and say or think "for fuck's sake"...... to be honest been disappointed that many times over the years it's all I can muster..... you can usually see it coming anyway so it's more a feeling of dejection and acceptance, rather than anger nowadays. For a particularly...

Cardiff away at Ninian Park, a couple of years before they moved to a new ground.... a manhole cover had collapsed on the road down to the M4, hundreds of city fans got there late, we didn't get there until half time.... we were 1 up by then, atmosphere on that terrace was awesome with...

Not really.... It will be by no means full but we will only have the lower tier I guess, which will be well populated... Love it as an away day... great city, ground is close to the centre, and the lower tier is a carbon copy of the west terrace.... that Friday night game a couple of years...
