    Agree 100% We should all take into account we kicked off with SIX changes from the team that started the Bristol Rovers match, we took the game to Brum, for a second time on their own muck heap and it should have been put to bed long before their late first equaliser. Not that fussed going out...

    Not our strongest team but I reckon we will make a decent fist of it.

    This is how good this team is!

    Not to mention the last gasp equalisers at Oxford, Peterborough and Sunderland, should have beaten MK Dons too. That’s a lot of points chucked away but I think we are a better team now.

    Agreed, bloke was a clown with his retractable pitch and National stadium ideas. HR held 23K, to think paid £113 million to increase our capacity potential by just 9000 people. With people like him running the club and he wasn’t on his own, one being a Cabinet Minister in his time,no wonder we...

    Robins has said he will be utilising the squad so I expect there will be a few changes tonight. Still think we can make a good account of ourselves.

    Long gone I’d think, I was a steward back in the day for a few years, when a new ground was topical my role was dressing room security basically making sure that area was clear and no undesirables around, our boss at the time showed us the plans, it could have been good I reckon, I reckon it...

    There were plans I saw them. One plan was to shorten Thackall Street to the Highfield Road junction, then turn the ground round and re-build in stages first replace the West End and Sky Blue stand with a new build and then the Main stand, the East stand would have remained and extended. The new...

    The Ricoh: Built in the wrong place. There was ample space at the HR site for a top ground, there were plans. But we had individuals connected to our club with £ signs in their eyes. Still it’s done now so unless a new owner with deep pockets can conjure up a new stadium somewhere like Hearsall...

    You are correct really especially when it was mainly terracing, can’t really remember the old covered end but we built the West Stand in 1968 and there were supporting columns end to end every so many yards and if you got behind them they obscured your view and you could hardly see the West End...

    I went to the FA cup replay at the Baseball Ground after that Sunday 0-0 game, we won 1-0 after extra time but I remember the ground was behind a row of houses sandwiched between smelting works and every so often a cloud of smoke would bellow out and engulf the pitch, you could hardly see God...

    Transfer Rumour Ryan Giles on Loan - Confirmed

    What I like about Robins he’s not bothered one jot about playing someone he feels is better. If he thinks this Ryan Giles is better than let’s say McCallum he’ll put him in. That’s what has basically happened between Mason and McCallum.

    What is Sterling doing now ?

    Yes big time, he was well into it, I was with some “likely lads” so he had proper company shall we say. He had his mop of hair then, has to be one of the noisiest games I ever went to.

    I remember that squash at Stoke ridiculous police decision, shades of Hillsborough. Not a lot of grey matter between a Lot of cops ears at times. I sat behind the goal that day next to Alan Brazil.

    Never liked Anfield myself either, other grounds I liked the Old White Hart Lane with that incredible shelf terracing they had, the old Highbury with its Clock End, Stokes City’s Victoria Ground with its tiered Bootham End and another favourite terrace was the massive South Bank at Molyneux. Not...

    Transfer Rumour Ryan Giles on Loan - Confirmed

    I doubt that where has that been said ? I can’t see Mark Robins agreeing to that.

    My favourite will always be Goodison Park, A proper traditional football ground. I went there around 1966 for a fifth round FA cup-tie gate of around 60000 the massive terrace that ran the length of the pitch was packed and the Gladdys Street, the noise deafening. Everton are moving soon be a...
