    Jim Twynham RIP

    Like Wheelfass, I first met Jim at the Plough on London Road in the small back room listening to Silk playing rock/prog rock to all those who loved that genre of music. Don't think I missed a Sunday night there in the early 70's, once my mates had introduced me to the place. Jims distinctive...

    Was this the first Suday game ?

    There was also a gate which was left open for those who didnt want to buy a team sheet. Think it was required by law. Some took up the option of the freebie but the vast majority paid at the turnstiles.

    North based Sky Blues fans?

    Having travelled to most parts of Lincolnshire as part of a former job, the overall accent used by the people born there is definitely as if they were from the East Midlands i.e. Leicestershire, Derbyshire etc Going eastwards, it changes dramatically at Sutton Bridge, on the A17, to a broadly...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    I'd be hoping he has more than one leg to stand on but if that's how low we've dropped then so be it. A few monopeds would be an improvement in a number of positions compared to last season...

    I alway's thought Cloughie was a brillant manager

    Rosario knew a few days in advance of the announcement that he had won goal of the season. Surprise, surprise...there was a flurry of bets on him in the Norwich area. The bookies knew they'd been stitched up but I dont remember if they paid out or not

    Gary Deegan

    Yup. I was there for that game. We were battered from pillar to post all game. Forest hit the woodwork, had goals disallowed and missed a hatful of easy chances then Sara equalised. Could even have won it in injury time. Cracking goal celebration which sparked a seat hurtling over the edge from...

    George Hudson is Still Alive

    JH must have had his reasons at the time. Did hear that a hardcore went to see his first few games for Northampton as a form of silent protest against the decision.

    Relegation Play-Offs

    I cant remember the years or the format but Charlton escaped the hangman's noose at least twice when finishing in the relegation play off position in the top tier. One of the two leg ties was against Leeds as I recall and the Leeds fans reacted as you normally expected them to when they got...

    What to do

    TBH Cap'n...I thought exactly the same and the words 'Burge, you c*nt' were just forming on my lips when I saw there was another played dressed in green grabbing hold of the ball on the line....!

    Sheffield United forum

    Pusbccfc.... I can't be arsed to go their board but top marks for trying to wind the thick twats up. I simply can't believe the moral high ground they're trying to stand on regarding the game at the Ricoh last December, particularly where the throwing of tennis balls is concerned. They won't...

    Beers for Wembley

    Just hope Sylus, Syrus, Sileage, Syphillis or whatever he's called, has considerable beers before the game to ward off the inevitable kicking he'll get off other Cov fans if him & his mates try to get on the pitch and have the game called off. Wish I could have a few beers but driving down from...

    wembley parking

    Cant remember which Jubilee line station it was but parked there for the Charity Shield game in 87 then took the tube the 2 or 3 stations to Wembley. I'll be doing the same this time. Knowledgeable mate of mine did the same for Spurs first CL game last September and reckons free, on street...
