Seeing as two of their stands are falling down, maybe they will need to come and ground share with us next season.

The referee worries me tonight. It's that Jared Gillet, the Australian who has been awful when we've had him before. Could have done with a safe pair of hands tonight.

Trying to work out if it's Sowe Common or Coundon Hall Park (Farm End).

It is an old pre-war term referring to the pubs opening early to coincide with knocking-off time in factories. Absolutely nothing to do with football. It's just another term used by all those useless so-called 'experts' on commentary. Jobs for the boys, some of them can barely string three...

Very sad to hear of George Hudson's passing. He was my boyhood hero, amazing player. I had the pleasure of meeting George a few years ago at a Legends' Day. We sat and had a drink with him and he was such a lovely, humble man. He was genuinely surprised anyone remembered him, let alone...

Perhaps we could move back to the Ricoh and then have Blues as our tenants.

We were entitled to think it would improve as we would be getting 'Select 2' group referees as opposed to National group. Sadly, it hasn't happened and the standard has been very poor. I am a former referee myself and regularly post on a refereeing forum. The general consensus is that Select...

That was my first visit to the Dell too. What an awful place it was. We were behind the goal in the little open end and were almost on top of the players. The other thing I remember is the state of the pitch. There wasn't a blade of grass on it. Even by 1968 standards it was diabolical...

I am another who thought it was tacky and pointless. I could never imagine it being worn in a match for any reason. I certainly wouldn't like to see any funds given to the cathedral or any other churches either. They are absolutely awash with money and own vast amounts of property, yet have...

He could have rescinded it before he restarted play. It was a shocking decision. Marosi seemed aware that we were trying to make a sub but the referee just waved a card. Then he realised and the substitution took place. Utterly idiotic to let the card stand. I suspect he was too pompous to...

I've supported the City since 1963 and I have no hesitation in saying Tommy Hutchison is the greatest player we have ever had. I remember in the 70s going to away games where he seemed to be taking on the opposition single handed. He had unbelievable skills, but even though he was always a...

I hated Larry Lloyd, mainly because of my hatred of Liverpool and the fact that he had the turning circle of the Queen Mary. I decided to suspend my hatred and give him a chance but soon realised what a useless camel he really was. The rest of the squad seemed to despise him too. We were...

It's all because usual rules don't apply to the entitled scallies in Self Pity City. They always regard themselves as a special case. It's the one place I used to hate travelling to back in the days when I went to all the away games in the 70s and 80s. Horrible ground, horrible fans. And...

Technically it counts as a draw, I believe.

Well, there's 18 points then.

I have always had a respect for Sheffield Wednesday, ever since meeting some Owls fans when we played them at HR in our first season in Div.1 and they seemed knowledgeable and friendly. Blades have always been an alehouse team with completely different fans. Even at the FA Cup QF in 1987 they...

If the Telegraph disappeared I'm not sure many people would actually notice.

Maybe he could do both jobs. He wouldn't even need a second office, just the ability to socially distance from himself.

The simple reason that this idea would be unfair is that some games would be disregarded. Even worse, they would be the most recent games for those who had played more than 34. The imitation Geordies clutching at straws again.

Yes, we had a regular group of us who were there from when it started. We had some great times there too. When they moved from the Plough it was to the Humber Hotel in their large function room at the back. It became known as Arthur's. Never quite the same there, although I do remember going...
