    9 Years Ago Today...

    The Butts was an upgrade. The original office was at the old Courtaulds site on Lockhurst Lane. All part of the Tim Fisher master plan.

    Leicester At It Yet Again!

    I think Ayew played well in both games this season. However I don’t agree that Leicester could or should have been 3 up. They certainly were on top and they carved us open a few times but apart from the goal I don’t think they had real clear cut chances. Decordova Reid hit one against his own...

    It seems that if you trip someone up with your head then it’s okay. If the Leicester guy had tackled EMC with his feet instead of his head, would it have been given? In reality, if you bring a player down and get no where near playing the ball it doesn’t matter which part of your body you use...

    Perry

    Rochdale are a real footballing side who get the ball down and have an excellent passing style. All of the team, centre backs too are expected to play and be comfortable on the ball. If he can get in the team and play regularly it will be a good move for him. Rochdale are at Tamworth tonight (...

    There are some horrible people in the world. Unfortunately a lot of them seem to go to football. There is no justification for banners like these.

    Terry Yorath - RIP

    Tommy Hutchison would say he was one of the best players he was ever on the pitch with. I was surprised when Tommy told me that Terry was the top player in 5-a-side games, never giving the ball away. This was because Terry on the pitch was very much a lion hearted, tough tacking warrior of a...

    For those that remember 1967

    Don’t think it could have been that game (although might be wrong) as there were hundreds if not thousands of kids sitting on the running track all the way around the ground

    The bitterness...

    We beat Bayern Munich at home, and although the sore in the end was only 2-1 we really had them rocking. That was a team containing Beckenbauer, Muller, Maier and Hoeness who were all Workd Cup winners for West Germany and we battered them that evening.

    For those that remember 1967

    My first game was a 2-1 home win against fellow promotion contenders Carlisle in February 1967. As a nine year old I just thought that we were fantastic and that promotion was inevitable as we were obviously the best team in the league. Having read all the books about that season, particularly...

    That shit show away end at Ipswich needs sorting

    I wasn’t there yesterday so can’t comment on what happened specifically. However, the stairways at most away games seem to be full. I’ve always put that down to people just not going to their allocated seat. Providing Ipswich didn’t sell more seats than they had in that section of the ground...

    Sky Blue Archive

    Just to say that before the company deleted the data, the archive was an already fantastic resource. You could spend hours on there going down various rabbit holes, remembering matches you had been to, finding out about players you had heard of but didn’t know their history. To get it up and...

    Did Clive fall out with CWR then? I have to say I find the fancasts on Monday and Friday a hard listen without Clive there. I frequently don’t bother now or just switch off. The after match phone in is still okay with Oggy there but was so much better and more professional with Clive. (I was...

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    If you travel to away games you will be impacted. If the tickets at £45 are all sold, everyone will be impacted as this will become the norm and all prices will shift upwards including season tickets. Then there is the argument that some of us see that this pricing is just wrong as it will stop...

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    No, those were rows and part blocks of unsold seats.

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    There were empty seats in the home end for both Birmingham and certainly West Brom.
