This is my main worry.

Yes that seemed to be the general consensus ‘but do you still believe it ?

Oh FFS, a Snail making a late escape bid from a saucepan moves faster than Boris thinks, watching him trying to think on the spot is painful.

Regardless of political persuasion, does anyone on here still have any faith in the Government to see us through this crisis ? After the initial jubilation on the announcement that highly effective and safe vaccines had been found and that they were already manufacturing multiple millions of...

Yeah cheers, I’m sure that’s the one based on Houch’s photos, the landlord was a hulking great Irish bloke who I would imagine you would have to be beyond daft to mess with, remember commenting to my brother that it would probably need a Landlord like that to keep that place in check.

This was our first port of call on that weekend, the Greyhound at Hawkesbury junction, seemed only right as when I lived in Coventry it was only a couple of hundred yards from here in Blackhorse Rd, though when growing up down there my Dads local was always The Boat rather than the Greyhound ‘We...

Was there a CCFC supporters club in Hillfields as as well FP ? Seem to remember being taken in there a couple of times as a kid. Also me and my brother ducked into a little pub to escape a sudden downpour while walking back to the city center after a game once, it was on the right before the...

No it was definitely the Sky Blue Tavern formerly the Mercer’s arms, the first one was in the city center.

Not so much scary but definitely adrenaline inducing for a 9 y/o up in the Sky Blue Stand, I remember Forest having the entire Spion Kop and it being packed to bursting point, massive pitch invasion from them and then the Cov mob from the west end, both mobs legging each other up and down the...

The first pic was actually taken in Cov city center later that night, if you look at my trousers you can see I’m soaking wet on account of my mates having just thrown me in a fountain 😳 found out later I’d cracked my shoulder in the process Lol

Not sure which pub the first pic was taken in but the second was taken in the Sky Blue Tavern (Mercers Arms) taken before the opening fixture of the season 2000-01, lost 3 - 1 to Middlesbrough. Im on the far right of both pics, pretty apt for a loony leftie :giggle: Great memories.

It’s ok, he’s only making small squawk ☺

Quite possibly mate I’m a pretty mixed up guy. I meant Ady Boothroyd, but that could easily be wrong as well.

This is referenced in a book I read, The Boys From The Mersey ; ‘the story of the Annie road end’ by Nicholas Ault. He lists it as the biggest away following they’d ever seen at Anfield 9000, and basically goes on to describe the night in a very similar fashion to yourself.

I heard exactly the same from a Landlord of a pub in Peterborough (cant remember pub name) it was packed with City and ‘very lively but all good natured’ he’d been in the pub for 12 years so he’d obviously seen it all. Told us Leeds we’re the worst by a mile, he could take £5000 in 3 hrs but...

Imagine Grealish winning an attitude contest against anyone.

Remember that goal against Everton in I think 98, what a cracker that was.

Apologies if already posted.

But supermarkets are thought to be the area with most transmission aren’t they ? I run a pub and the amount of measures we had to put in place inc, setting up our own track & trace system alongside a bewilderingly detailed risk assessment just to be allowed to operate at a greatly diminished...
