I watched a small amount of the game on Sky, and on the rare occasions they panned around the ground, it certainly didn’t look like 12k. Giving the benefit of the doubt I’d have said 9-10k tops. The fact that they lost to the team who I believe just got promoted into the division is probably...

If you or I were to drive a car down Oxford Street or Whitehall and attempt to blockade it (for whatever reason) we’d be removed and most probably chucked in a cell within the hour. why people think they can do similar, including harassment of people going about their daily lives totally...

Those guys getting a kicking at Canning Town station was fantastic. To be honest they should have just let the train carry on running, they’d soon get down when realising they’re about to smash into the tunnel at 30mph. Harassing people buying burgers/working at Smithfield Market is just the...

Well done Tranmere on the victory... although I think your result last night is a more realistic picture... Southend arguably the crappest team in the division and you didn’t look remotely like beating them... hope you avoid the drop and MK Dons go down in your place.... but I can’t see it...

yes although it’s mostly on road, there’s a good 2750-3000ft of climbing, and some off-road.... apparently the equivalent flat length is 29.3 miles, so perhaps 20-30mins longer than a standard flat road marathon. unfortunately health problems in the family mean I’m no longer making the trip...

It’s “nice” and relates to the history of the city.... however I don’t think it’s anywhere near as nice as either the current home or away shirts...

Without wanting to get too cynical, I suspect if the WPL attendances were anywhere near decent, the BBC would be all over it...

I wasn’t really proposing any logic... just the thought that many families will take the opportunity for a relatively cheap trip to Wembley. How are the attendances doing for the women’s premier league after the opening day publicity...? Genuine question, I have no idea...

Seems to have really quietened down on the media (even the bbc) since that Manchester Derby on the international weekend... few results getting highlighted but not hearing much. With regards to the Germany match, I think the price might have something to do with it.... £15 adults and kids for...

The kids thing was bought up recently on a tv show as being the biggest thing you can do...

Anyone trying to defend any of this stuff is pretty deluded in my humble opinion... I’m all for an atmosphere, and don’t personally think flares/smoke should be banned... but the “do what we like” mentality of our fans (and similar groups all over the country) is the behaviour of a bully and...

Coventry Godiva Harriers finished an incredible 29th team in the country, at the National Road Relay Championships today. A huge improvement on last year where we finished just outside the top 50. We were 5th Midlands team behind Birchfield Harriers, Bristol & West, and very narrowly Tipton...

Did Bedworth Parkrun this morning... wasn’t expecting much after a couple of weeks disrupted training and some personal issues, and so it proved.... 20:37 which is two minutes off my best. Although I certainly didn’t push it 100% Good to blow some cobwebs away, but even in the circumstances I...

Tough club session last night.... from the Uni, all the way up Westwood Heath Road, all the way past Tile Hill Station, the length of Banner Lane, all the way down Broad Lane, and back from the Wing Wah to the uni. In itself that’s around 7 miles, in the rain, wind and dark... but to keep the...

I’d say Birmingham Villa, Cardiff Swansea, possibly Newcastle Sunderland, and West Ham Millwall. But there’s plenty of fierce ones about. In Europe the most tense derby I’ve been to was Lazio Roma, (although AC Milan vs Juventus had a better atmosphere overall). Had flights booked for the...

It’s sad, but anyone with their wits about them should be perfectly capable of booking a holiday anywhere in the world without needing a travel agent (and likely to save a lot of money in the process). The one time I tried to give a travel agent the benefit of the doubt in the last five years...

Hot one out there today... Godiva seniors did get that 6th place overall... our second leg with a massive run to go from 20th up to 6th in a single leg, which the rest of the team then held onto. Ladies had a superb run, from 50th after leg 1, progressing through on each leg, to finish an...

Today it’s the Midlands Road Relays at Sutton Coldfield Park (apparently the largest urban park in Europe). 6 legs of 5.9km for the men, and 4 legs of around 4km for the women. Our senior team will be looking for a top 6 finish I reckon. Some fantastic and historic clubs who are very strong...

Yes a big fan... I’d like to get over this season... love the Bentegodi, proper old-school stadium... although there was only about 12000 max in there last time I was there (Serie B about 3 seasons ago). Haven’t seen the Atalanta stadium since they did the refurbishments.... I hope it’s...

Elephant Beer in Italy imo.... Tennents Super seems to be pretty prevalent in some less salubrious places as well...
