I don't know how Wolves away can be described as "boring" FA Cup Quarter Final, a derby, and very much a historical rival (wasn't Wolves a huge deal in the 60's?) Too many people can't see past "the big 6" and think nothing else matters..... spent too much time watching Sky Sports.

Wolves away last year (despite the moaning on here from most) was one of the best draws we could have got. As was Manchester United in the semi.

Is this as in "Fell Running".....? I'm heavily involved.... ran for Warwickshire in the inter-counties the last two years. Going to Pyrenees in a couple of weeks to run in the World Masters Mountain Running (v40, uphill race) And do a lot of domestic level races..... won the short race at...

I reckon its exactly 4.75 miles round Draycote, so you'll need just a little more than 3.5 laps to hit 18 miles......

Short answer: I'm not particularly affected by others. Longer answer.... In this particular race there was such a variety of ability that i couldn't really be affected. There were perhaps 10 runners and the quickest was 15:44..... i was 3rd or 4th..... and the final finisher was over...

Those of us that hinted a slight note of caution, were shouted down and derided as heretics.

bloody foreigners

The home game against Villa under the floodlights was pretty special. I'm pretty sure Keane had a goal disallowed for offside, just prior to scoring the winner (which was also borderline onside/offside)

Didn't we win a record 7 home games in a row? It did include a couple of pretty poor last-minute wins against Barnsley and Sheff Weds if i remember correctly....

Ran the 5000mtrs in the Midland Track League yesterday for Godiva. Finally broke the 18 minute barrier with 17:49 On paper it went exactly as planned.... build a cushion in the first 3km and go through in 10:20-10:30 (i actually went through in 20:26)....... and have enough in hand to finish...

I've always thought Stoke away fans were pretty loud tbh. And i enjoy Port Vale away.... as people say, its a step back in time but perhaps thats why i like it. Not been Stoke away but it has the hallmarks of your average out-of-town new stadium experience (much like the Ricoh)

You must've been decent to play for Jet Blades. I played for Woodlands on a saturday (also in the Cov Alliance, although i hovered between first and reserve teams), and a number of teams on a sunday, including The Cherry Tree, Bedworth Travellers Rest, Orchard FC (Bedworth) Stopped playing...

That's fair enough..... but "finish above most teams bar......." leaves you with little room for error.... you've basically got to finish top two out of the rest of the league (the "most competitive in the world" as the saying goes) ps: i think we'll finish above at least one of those four...

You wouldn;'t hear anything outside of Kerr/Ingerbritsen on mainstream media. But inside the sport, Hocker was widely tipped to have an equal chance, should the race be a little slower (say 3:29 or above), due to his phenomenal finishing speed. What was a surprise was that he could still be in...

The three who came down... Throw in Leeds. And us..... plus Middlesborough who seem as hotly tipped as us. Thats six already. Who knows what the rest of the division is going to throw up, but Norwich and Preston are always around. Add in a couple of others who are bound to overperform...

I always thought it was Scott Shearer.... but looking at the records online, it seems Steele was in goal and Shearer on the bench.

Blackpool away the saturday before xmas, being 2 down and a player sent off after about 10 minutes, on that awful temporary stand.... Great Days

Away to Gillingham when Peter Reid was manager was possibly the worst away match i went to. 3-1 defeat, between xmas and new year. The venom directed at Reid (and the players) as they left the pitch was something else.

Was it the first season down or the second, we had a couple of abject home performances prior to xmas..... i think one was a loss at home to Grimsby if memory serves me right, which led to a sit-in protest by the West Terrace. That was quite a bad period.... not sure it compares with the...

Demoted to 3rd division i think.
