Went up sometime in the lates 2000's... last weekend before xmas, it was bloody freezing, got smashed on the Friday til about 2am... Back in Yates' by 11am on the Saturday, in the ground at 2-59.... By ten past 3 we were at least 1 down, possibly 2, and Kevin Kyle had been sent off. After a...

I guess it depends where you live and your age, etc.... When I was 'growing up' (mid-late 90's) it was Villa that was always the big game, although they were a different level to us most of the time, they were the biggest rival, and it could also be a rough place to visit. With no disrespect...

I think it takes an 'exceptional' situation like the current one, to show up how you really feel about times. Whilst I dislike Leicester in general, due to the local rivalry which does exist, i'd certainly like to see them stick two fingers up to the 'big' teams. Long may it continue and I hope...

I read that book about the English season-ticket holder at Hellas, i'm sure you know the one I mean.... the chapters about the away trips to Bari, Lecce and Napoli were decent, but he spent too much time going on about poetry, etc, for my liking.... you must've seen some interesting things...

To be fair, most fans in Italy are necking expressos before they go onto the terraces, rather than pints... no wonder they are so hyper...! real shame about the ultras situation in Rome at the moment, think Napoli and Atalanta will be the next trips.

It is fairly shocking. I got in at 2-30 and then queued up for 20 minutes to get a bottle of Coke, as I didn't fancy missing half the game by attempting to queue up at HT. 6 people behind the concourse, why don't they have 3 competent people behind there and open twice as many stands...

I've had Middlesboro, QPR and Swindon Middlesboro 3-0 up, Swindon losing at the moment.

I played sunday football for many years in both the Cov league and the Nuneaton league. I felt in general the Cov league was generally a nicer league to play in, but when things kicked off it could get really bad. The Nuneaton league was littered with red cards, violence towards refs and each...

In my view this is exactly the sort of thing we could/should have done..... It was pre-planned on at least one Blackpool message board, and apparently large sections of the police and stewards were in full support.... I'm not exactly in the 'SISU Out' camp, but I'm bloody angry at the state of...

I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if repeating what anybody else has said.... If you list out all league teams, and put them in order of 'size of club'..... we could be placed anywhere between bottom of 1st division and middle of 2nd division, depending on your particular...

Usually stand there and say or think "for fuck's sake"...... to be honest been disappointed that many times over the years it's all I can muster..... you can usually see it coming anyway so it's more a feeling of dejection and acceptance, rather than anger nowadays. For a particularly...

Cardiff away at Ninian Park, a couple of years before they moved to a new ground.... a manhole cover had collapsed on the road down to the M4, hundreds of city fans got there late, we didn't get there until half time.... we were 1 up by then, atmosphere on that terrace was awesome with...

Not really.... It will be by no means full but we will only have the lower tier I guess, which will be well populated... Love it as an away day... great city, ground is close to the centre, and the lower tier is a carbon copy of the west terrace.... that Friday night game a couple of years...

I'm in Bedworth. If we're talking real fans who follow their team, then yes it's a city stronghold. Far outnumbered though by mongs who support Manchester United and Liverpool. I think Nuneaton is less of a stronghold due to the influence of Borough, but city fans probably making up towards 50%...

You're trying to spark debate with people who use such witty banter as 'shitfields' in every conversation, and anyone who doesn't agree with them is called 'tim'... fuck em..... let them believe that by sitting on their arses at home they are protesting..... p.s. Leeds' protests will be...

It's a fair point, however do people not think we are now at the point of no return with SISU, where they now need to put up or shut up. They now need to do a deal to acquire part of the Ricoh (unlikely) or a new ground (slightly less unlikely IMO, but not guaranteed). If neither of these are...

But if SISU did what 'the fans' want and threw more money at the club in an attempt to chase back the 'glory days' (built on money we didn't have), then we would be back in the same position. Alternatively they could do what the fans also want and 'fuck off' and then we would have no club...

I posted something similar on GMK recently, but what we have here is symptomatic of the Sky Sports generation. At the tender age of early 30's I believe I am the last generation of 'old fashioned' football fans, who can remember before the premier league, sky sports, etc, when the best way to...

This is typical of the anti-sisu, one sided view that prevails on this website. Every time someone mentions something that the council/acl/wasps/etc may have done in error, everybody jumps in with "well sisu did this..." I think people who went to sixfields do get it that the period in...
