Good to see the old-school GMK boys still up there.... saw them everywhere over the years, be it Highfield Road, away games, Northampton, and spotted them again up the Telegraph End second half today.... respect.

Ipswich 1992 in the family stand. The sight of the pristine pitch and all the stands blew me away. 2-2 draw, I think Chris Kiwomya scored both their goals... Ndlovu was on fire for us. First away game was Villa in around 96 or 97.... an evening match in awful weather. We lost 2-1 with...

The hills, a subject very close to my heart. I am a fell-racer. Race on unmarked courses across the mountains, basically having a start and finishing point, then a series of checkpoints to get to, usually the top of mountains, and it is up to the individual to find their own course between them...

The only time I remember anything remotely like trouble vs Sunderland (since 1992) was in or around 97-98 when we were 4 up after about 20 mins. I remember their lot having a bit of a go at the West Terrace after the game, surrounding the exits etc. There was a bit of a Mexican stand-off, can't...

Not so sure the point you're trying to make... everyone knows this is an unofficial "standing area", the same as you get in 99% of all grounds. Would you have bought a ticket in the West Terrace and complained about people standing? Yes you pay for a seat, but you also know the score when you...

He's correct though. I was a regular at reserve games as a teenager in the mid 90's. Most games only got a couple of thousand. When I was going up it was only the Main Stand that was open. But on odd occasions, "big" games, there was a fair crowd. Perhaps not 10000 though. Of course when we...

Greggs I was heavily into Muay Thai and fought on pro shows, and coached, although I no longer do it, my last fight being about 3 years ago. I got into it at a relatively late age of around 28 or 29, and just did it causally a couple of times a week, alongside football. But eventually took...

To be fair to the original poster, similar happened to me after driving to Barnsley one year. Had a pint in the leisure centre, walked down the hill, stopping to tie my lace halfway. As I walked past a steward he grabbed me and said "I've just seen you staggering down the hill, I'll let you in...

1 up, far post header.

Bore draw really. 50/50. They look more like a first team, you would back them against us in a league match. We need a couple of decent opportunities to get us going.

I'm here... Behind the goal and resplendent in a Bologna top if anyone wants to say hello/stick one on me... Don't think there's more than about 300 here tops. The pitch.... Well I saw better fields driving up past Marston Jabbet on the way here...

Barnsley is a very good away day, even when we were in the championship it was one of the best awaydays. Ground near the centre, easy to get to by road or rail. Plenty of pubs in town centre. There's that bar in the leisure centre which caters well for away fans. Large away end and pretty much...

Interesting to hear that Birmingham may implement a congestion charge in the next couple of years. Apparently £6-£10 per day to use a vehicle inside the ring-road. Pretty shocking in my opinion. It's the proliferation of buses which stink out their City Centre (and London's as well)...

Perhaps you could tell me what I've got incorrect.

No doubt about it, it suffered due to its location. Just interesting they didn't relocate into our city centre. Walked past the old BHS today and thought that at least part of that building would have been a decent location.

Interesting to see that the Cotswold store in Leekes closed/closing down, yet a new Cotswold store being opened up in Leicester...

I think it's a bit strong for me to say I dislike football now, but personally I couldn't give a toss about the World Cup and haven't yet watched a match, and I don't intend to change any of my plans in order to watch England etc. It's just a complete load of bollocks. Everyone knows Russia and...

Whatever people may think about Collymore, he's one of the few pundits to tell it like it is... I was pretty devastated when he quit the Talk Sport show with Danny Kelly. That pair and James Richardson on MOTD would rattle a few cages, a lot better than the inoffensive clowns they have on it at...

When the 2006 World Cup was on I decided against going out to Germany with my mates (their view was that if we went out in the group stages we could set fire to the minibus outside the stadium and come home on the ferry), and went down to Greece with a mate who was hopefully a little less...

Late 90's when we were 4-0 up after about 25 mins, leading to much merriment and piss-taking from the West End to the away fans (they always seemed to bring a decent number)........ After the game they surrounded the exits to the West Terrace onto Thackhall Street with the intention of...
