    What Was Your…

    Ah apologies. Maybe, I always thought it was the Blues match. Well, it was MY first ever Sunday game.

    What Was Your…

    Yeah, I can remember some awful games. Ones that stick in the mind: - the 5-1 defeat at Filbert Street, Christmas 83 or 84. Only highlight was Bobby Gould running on the pitch for some reason. -Full Members cup game at Stoke City, around 85/86. Only 16 of us in the away end. Can't remember...

    What Was Your…

    You might be right. I've always thought it was the 4-4 Blues match. Memory could be playing tricks on me, I suppose.

    What Was Your…

    That was a brilliant game. The only match my late Mom ever went to. Such a beautiful day too. One of those days when everything was perfect.

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    The classic, "Kill! Kill! Jimmy Hill!" during one of his less popular phases. Around the time of the Washington Diplomats debacle.

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    Remember One Man Went To Mow being sung a lot in the mid 80s, not sure why. Also, "can you hear the <team name> sing? No, no. Can you hear the <team name> sing? I can't hear a fucking thing, woah woah woah" Any others?

    The Orange Ball

    Can remember a few times in the snow and/or fog the crowd singing, "we want an orange ball, orange ball, orange ball..." Sadly missed chant that.

    What Was Your…

    Our first ever Sunday game vs Blues at HR. What a game that was. Remember playing Chelsea at HR stood on the Kop, pissing down with rain. Stands out as it was the day the Grand National was called off. Was it the IRA? Can't remember.

    What Was Your…

    My first game was October 1972 on my 7th birthday, but the first game I actually remember is the infamous 2-2 draw vs Bristol City. Another match that sticks in the memory is the 7-1 defeat at WBA, my fist ever away game. I vividly remember the Cup Semi Final vs Leeds at Hillsborough. Was...

    I took my girlfriend - now wife - to that. It was brilliant. She loved it and asked if it was always this exciting. I said, "absolutely".

    What are you snobby about?

    Growing up in the 70s and 80s my Mom refused to watch ITV as she thought it was "common". Just the BBC for us.

    Gyokores better than Akpom

    Akpom was rubbish here. I think this season he's doing a McNulty. He'll never match it again. Gyokeres will only get better.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Huddersfield Town vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 4th Mar

    After 25 mins I said to my lad it was a terrible game and likely to be a wasted trip. Great second half performance.

    That guy they arrested was taken ill and medics were working on him. Got taken away in an ambulance. We were on the end by the away fans. A girl near me was it giving it to these teen fans in the away section, swearing at them, etc. Policeman told her to stop it and she moaned, "why aren't you...

    I wonder if you just have to get a match pass. I'm thinking of ditching Virgin. My package goes up £21.50 a month from May.
