    George Curtis

    Ah, sad news if true. I don't know the great man personally but I know his lads to talk to and they've not mentioned it. Regardless, George was a figure of legend growing up around these parts; unfailingly genial but you always had the sense that he wasn't a man to trifle with. His lads are...

    Parking in Nuneaton on Sunday?

    Ta mate, very generous of you. In truth though, there's nothing at all on that line until about mid-day on Sunday. Many thanks regardless, it's a tremendously decent offer. I reckon I'll get into town as early as possible and then find a parking space somewhere around the place. Lot's of...

    Parking in Nuneaton on Sunday?

    Hi all, just wondered if anyone could advise where might be a good place to leave the car tomorrow to collect on Monday. I'm going in on the train (hopefully!) and wanted somewhere to leave the car that's close to the Nuneaton station. Appreciate that there's a car park there, but I'm...

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    In fairness Moff, your jog is probably my sprint. I play 5-a-side twice a week, and try to go out for a run or a ride on at least one other day, and I'm still getting fatter! I know that inside me though is a finely tuned athlete just busting to get out and shine. Possibly two. :)

    It would if they were going through Oxford, but they aren't. Or Millwall, or Villa. :)

    Trains on Sunday

    When I looked at it a while back it seemed to suggest that some trains coming back from Wembley Stadium station would require a change at Beaconsfield for Warwick. That might have changed now because Chiltern do seem switched onto this. Trains from Warwick in the morning all seem to be direct...

    The trick will be not to decorate the bathroom floor _when_ you're tired & emotional. Otherwise all your hard work is for naught!

    Trains on Sunday

    Fwiw everything I could see out of Warwick on Sunday morning looked direct to Wembley Stadium. I'm not sure about the return journey though...

    Like it... How can I miss you when you won't bloody well leave? :) Alternate country song title: I'm still missing you (but my aim is getting better).

    Trains on Sunday

    No mate, on the way down they're direct on a different line. On the way back there might be crossover of fans at Beaconsfield and somewhere else where there's a change required. I can't see any that actually go through Oxford and onto Warwick, I think Oxford and Oxford Parkway sit on a...

    Trains on Sunday

    Fair call, but I reckon the coach from Cov is a better option personally if you've not booked. Warwick Parkway shouldn't be too bad either, though I fancy it'll be standing room only for the earlier trains.

    Are they calling you 'plucky little Oxford' yet. You know that they're going to do that, despite the mere 27 points that you're above us in the table!! :)

    Trains on Sunday

    Fwiw, for anyone fretting, National Express still seem to be taking bookings on coaches direct to Wembley from Cov. I'd use them or Warwick Parkway personally.

    Trains on Sunday

    Before people get worked up into a lather over a story that hasn't been verified anywhere other than on facebook, Chiltern have got a number of extra trains running from Warwick Parkway. Funnily enough, they're used to dealing with Wembley given that this is on their line so they'll be switched...
