So again, show me a single council who have ever threatened to have their local football team play behind closed doors? You're clearly trying to defend this, I wonder why?

If you've been a part of this squad at any point in this season, I don't think you could have any great complaint if you found yourself looking for a new club over the summer. Having said that, it's not the worst theory I've heard - making sure that everyone gets a go before the summer. The...

Except of course that fans haven't been throwing flares at each other at CCFC matches*, so where's the safety issue that has led to the council to threaten to close down the ground? Indeed, where's the example of another council that have behaved in this way towards to their local football...

Trust me, dot counting beats watching the football. :) Sincere thanks for the updates... and the cheerfulness. Really looking forward to the big day.

Indeed - I wouldn't advocate it, but it feels very unlikely that the Council would take the same approach. I hugely dislike the idea of invading the pitch to protest, but suggesting that the pitch invasion against Sheffield and the one after the semi-final were in any related is farcical...

Like what I said, but clearer and to the point. :)

I think it's usually a condition of entry that you allow yourself to be searched on entering a football ground. In essence, it's part of the contract when you buy your ticket. However, as I understand it a steward must ask your permission before conducting a search, must be of the same sex as...

To be honest it's this kind of crap that puts me off more than the football. The endless pettiness of the stewards really grates on me - when you've got 7,600 going who really cares where you sit or what turnstile you enter through. I don't know if the stewards are being told to enforce all...

I don't want to worry anyone, but I'm a bit concerned that we're going to get drawn into a relegation battle if we keep playing like this...

If you're going to go for Hawkwind, then surely the best intro would be 'Master of the Universe'. Ah, I feel old now. Bringing it right up to date though, or at least the late seventies, I've got a thing for "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus - I think that's got a twenty minute intro. Or maybe...

Two things that spring to straight to mind here. The first is that almost by definition a serial arsonist isn't likely to be entirely careful when it comes to peoples' lives - at least one of the other fires occurred during working hours with people in the factory. Even when the fires took...

I'm not really one for conspiracy theories, but the chairman at Bradford was owned or connected to businesses that suffered a remarkable number of fires (Guardian graphic shown below). In adjusted terms it's said he received insurance and fire-related payouts of over £27m over the years. I'm...

Yes, fair point. I don't think the Chiltern trains back to Warwick/Brum all go through Oxford in truth, but there's going to be fans mingling at Wembley Stadium station and for at least part of the journey, I'd think. You've got to imagine that there will be a police presence though; surely...

Other option might be Chiltern from Warwick Parkway or Birmingham Moor Street if you can get there. They've said they are making arrangements to handle the increased capacity...

Quality!

Chiltern are well switched on - would be good if Virgin offered a similar clarification for services to & from Cov (unless they already have and I've missed it!). I'd guess Virgin must be aware of demand by now, what with Otis buying 300 tickets just for himself. :)

I've seen the Leicester Girls u10/u11 sides mate, they're bloody impressive in all honesty. Good kids too. As long as she enjoys it, who cares who she plays for - she can learn all the banter later. ;)

Can't use 'em myself Norman, but this is what a real fan does. No profit required, just looking after one another. Good on ya! :)

I'd say it's more than 95% ;)

Give it ten minutes and RB will be on here "My mate at the ticket office says they've already sold 25,000, but they're going to release another quarter-of-a-million tomorrow. Don't shoot the messenger!"
