I stand to be corrected but I thought George was his grandson - Mick and Kev are his sons I believe, or at least the ones that I know to say hello to. Mick is very well regarded and much loved by Coventry RFC fans. Kev was a pretty tidy footballer in his day, turned out for CCFC Reserves at...

It might make sense for Wasps' owners, but that doesn't mean that it does for us, or for the poor buggers supporting the team that might be shifted 100 miles or more! Making sense for Wasps isn't really my key criteria for determining whether this should be supported or not - there's a far...

Fair enough, all I can say is that my experience of it wasn't the same as yours - the Cov end sounded great to me from exactly the other side of the ground. Being sat directly behind 20,000 Oxford fans we couldn't really get the Sky Blue Song going though, don't know why. :)

I can't see why Wasps would buy a Super League franchise and then play it at the Butts - what would be in it for them? They'll surely want the income streams located at the Ricoh, where they will be able to get 100% of it. The Butts would also be a step down for a Super League franchise in...

So, for my sins I was sat in the corporates directly behind the Oxford end. I can tell you for a fact that the noise from the Cov end was properly impressive so with all due respect to the OP I think he's talking out of his arse. @Essexyellows - your fans were a credit to you too and never...

Ah, sad news if true. I don't know the great man personally but I know his lads to talk to and they've not mentioned it. Regardless, George was a figure of legend growing up around these parts; unfailingly genial but you always had the sense that he wasn't a man to trifle with. His lads are...

Thanks for all of the good advice gents, much appreciated. Really, really, really looking forward to tomorrow - it's going to be an epic day. :)

Ta mate, very generous of you. In truth though, there's nothing at all on that line until about mid-day on Sunday. Many thanks regardless, it's a tremendously decent offer. I reckon I'll get into town as early as possible and then find a parking space somewhere around the place. Lot's of...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone could advise where might be a good place to leave the car tomorrow to collect on Monday. I'm going in on the train (hopefully!) and wanted somewhere to leave the car that's close to the Nuneaton station. Appreciate that there's a car park there, but I'm...

In fairness Moff, your jog is probably my sprint. I play 5-a-side twice a week, and try to go out for a run or a ride on at least one other day, and I'm still getting fatter! I know that inside me though is a finely tuned athlete just busting to get out and shine. Possibly two. :)

It would if they were going through Oxford, but they aren't. Or Millwall, or Villa. :)

When I looked at it a while back it seemed to suggest that some trains coming back from Wembley Stadium station would require a change at Beaconsfield for Warwick. That might have changed now because Chiltern do seem switched onto this. Trains from Warwick in the morning all seem to be direct...

The trick will be not to decorate the bathroom floor _when_ you're tired & emotional. Otherwise all your hard work is for naught!

Fwiw everything I could see out of Warwick on Sunday morning looked direct to Wembley Stadium. I'm not sure about the return journey though...

Like it... How can I miss you when you won't bloody well leave? :) Alternate country song title: I'm still missing you (but my aim is getting better).

Next on Sky buzzword bingo: 'Sleeping Giant'. 'Houchen', 'Sad Demise', '1987', 'Plucky', 'Dreaming Spires'. Less likely, 'Robert Maxwell', 'Pensions', 'Yacht', 'Mossad'. :)

No mate, on the way down they're direct on a different line. On the way back there might be crossover of fans at Beaconsfield and somewhere else where there's a change required. I can't see any that actually go through Oxford and onto Warwick, I think Oxford and Oxford Parkway sit on a...

Fair call, but I reckon the coach from Cov is a better option personally if you've not booked. Warwick Parkway shouldn't be too bad either, though I fancy it'll be standing room only for the earlier trains.

Are they calling you 'plucky little Oxford' yet. You know that they're going to do that, despite the mere 27 points that you're above us in the table!! :)

Fwiw, for anyone fretting, National Express still seem to be taking bookings on coaches direct to Wembley from Cov. I'd use them or Warwick Parkway personally.
