Successor to our European opponents Trakia I think.

We were in the away end a Southampton when he scored his other City ‘goal’. Having sat on our hands for the entirety of the game, including Viktor’s opening goal, none of us (my two sons and me plus a City fan and his son behind us) could restrain celebrating what would have been a very late but...

Proschowitz was the season before and not brought in by Mowbray. He would have been a Pressley signing

If you are talking about atmosphere I don’t think there would be many better stadiums than the CBS. Those of us 30 and older will have a lot of great memories of Highfield Road (I was at the Wolves match in 1967 for example) but I don’t think the noise we have consistently at the CBS ever...

I don’t think Robins has actually said anything at all in public about either Adi going or his own sacking. Adi is quite definite about the stuff on social media being hurtful to him but I’m pretty sure that this stuff came from uninformed people who either like to pretend they are in the know...

It took them 6 seasons to climb all the way from the 4th division to the first then back down to the 4th again. An amazing 6 seasons, 3 consecutive promotions followed by 3 consecutive relegations. They crossed paths with us as they were on their way to their second consecutive relegation (from...

I think that’s true in all of these areas. Energy, water the railways all very expensive and all catering for the needs of shareholders rather than customers. Energy, water and even transport are basic human needs. Surely they should be provided to people at cost price (add on a percentage for...

If season tickets prices increased by say, on average £50 a ticket that would bring in an extra £1.1 million based on 22k sales. I think £50 would be a hefty increase and it doesn’t raise a game changing amount in terms of increased revenue. It may however be a step too far for a number of...

Did you really buy it for your son? 🙂

I think the problem with the Super League idea was that they had no intention of clearing off. I may be wrong, but my understanding was they would play Super League but retain a team in their domestic leagues as well. Probably two different teams for the same club most of the time but with the...

Record away attendance for this country (maybe the world!) of 55k.

They certainly didn’t bottle anything today. That was a real battling performance against the odds. Every player worked hard including Wright and Simms. For the entirety of Simms time on the pitch the ball was simply punted up field for him to chase. He also got nothing from the referee...

Sorry to be a pedant. It wasn’t Kirkland but Steve Murcott who came on. Can’t remember who was the injured keeper but the game was against Norwich and he kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win. I don’t think he ever played again but may be wrong.

Wouldn’t he be counting the first three seconds anyway? So in effect the ref will count 8 seconds?

That’s kind of you thanks. He is the performance analyst at Rochdale and it does affect his job to an extent. At his club everyone mucks in with everything so he is usually out on the training ground helping with the coaching. He can only do this on non-windy days now as he struggles to close...

My son still can’t move his mouth, cheek, eye or forehead properl. If he smiles or when he speaks you can really see how his face has dropped. Seven months seems to be the optimum time for full recovery or not. It is hard for him as a relatively young man (31) to have this condition, as it must...

My son had a Bells Palsy event in November. He has partially recovered but it is slow progress. As you will know, not everyone makes a full recovery from this. I just wondered how you got on and how long before your face was back to normal .

My oldest son, like me and lots on here, saw 3 relegations. Only two to pin on Sisu.

It was a great day and a testament to Robins as he had already started to turn us around by that stage. Oxford were chasing promotion and we were doomed. They were hot favourites to win but I always felt we would do it. Despite this being a wonderful occasion, the real indication for me that we...

We walk past that guy and say hello every match day. He’s not there for evening games though. Lack of dedication.
