Recently maybe, but they have doing it for years, right back to Sixfields and then loads more when Jimmy Hill died. It took the game last season at the Ricoh for our lot to properly jump on it. It's all a bit silly, but I'm not that arsed by it. Fans of two clubs don't like each other and have...

I'm grateful of course for what Blues have done, so when we play our last game there, I'll make sure I buy the staff at the pub a drink and I'll shake the hand of the Blues steward who I chat to at games. This banner though, mmmm. This is a cup tie between two local clubs, and should be played...

Yep, we were, 4,252 (2,170 away) according to Wiki.

This all seems sensible. From what I can tell, most Blues fans would rather be in the away end. Keeps them happy and our ST holders won't have to move.

Don't think so, but would have been close for the Wolves game.

I'd say the obsession is mores theirs judging by the number of threads they create season after season. I don't go on there unless someone posts a link, but am always entertained when I do. Some absolute belters in that thread.

Fully behind this, happy to put my name to it.

Fine, I wasn't declaring my position on them either way, just referencing the BL movement and how, historically, Labour was very much in favour of them because they saw them as doing the exact opposite of what you state. I'm increasingly trying to step out of the echo-chamber, and this...

One of the interesting things to come out of the election fall-out is the rise of Blue Labour, a movement calling for a return to the Labour Party pre 1960, the party of Attlee, a party that was conservative, pro grammar schools and patriotic. Peter Hitchens covers it here: PETER HITCHENS: Don't...

Up now.

Maybe. But at Tranmere, we were a goal up and he gambled to try to kill the game off by bringing O'Hare and Baka on. It worked. Today, he made a similar move and O'Hare created two great chances and they were missed. Score one of those and we're praising the changes. Very easy to be wise after...

The attempt to somehow pin today's result on Max is just a nonsense and stinks of someone desperate to be proved right. Our best two chances of the game came just after changes were made. By all means criticise him for the missed chance (although it was a good save) but you have to level the...

True. A couple of teams will do that though. Rotherham look strong, and maybe Ipswich have got over their wobble. Could be us, not ruling it out, but I'd be surprised, we're not free scoring enough. Top 6 should be fine though.

This season is very open. After 24 games last season the top 2 were 9/10 points better off than we are now. In any other season we'd be way off the auto spots. You do feel that to make the top two we're going to have to go on a long winning run at some point, but the evidence so far suggests we...

Very poor today. As soon as we missed those two chances in the 2nd half the writing was on the wall. Most disappointing was the fact that they scored with 15 minutes to go but we didn't trouble them once after that. Can't argue with the result today. 3 games against MK this season, two draws and...

There is some of that which I won't argue with, but what I am saying was that there is significant progress. It isn't just about Cathedral Lanes. Three new eateries are opening at the Co-op in the next few weeks, a new restaurant on Spon St, Belgrade Plaza is now fully let, the units at the base...

Developments underway/starting in 2020:

Completely correct. The city centre is far more vibrant than it was 10/20 years ago - both during the day and at night. There is no comparison really. The built environment is improving, there are new leisure facilities opening all the time, new eateries, bars etc. Retail is still...

I doubt they'll pack the place out, but it was the draw many of them wanted and they seem genuinely chuffed with it.

It's every 4 years, and I remember Hull getting a load of exposure and investment off the back of it. It's hardly the Olympics, but it's a good thing to have won and I think it will be good for the city.
