Had a little notification saying on this day 17 years ago we travelled away to Blackpool and lost 3-0, and everything else is history

Shit I was there.
We stayed at The Waldorf Hotel...it was a shocker of a day all round.

I'll raise you City 2 Yeovil 6

2018 in League 2 Biamou coming on for Vincenti and getting a double

He was the only one that could walk away that day with any pride whatsoever it was such a gutless performance

MO Forecast for 16.00 this afternoon

Others will disagree, but I don’t think we can hide that today is a massive game. It seems silly saying it two games in, but I think retrospectively when we look back at the season we will point at this as a game we had to get three points. Anything less a disappointment.

 

[Mcbean]

Assume others have had the text from the club advising us all to be in there for 2pm?

Have I missed the reasoning behind that? Is that genuinely cause they’re worried people won’t be able to use a digital ticket?!

Also, I was planning a few beers today and I won’t be doing that in the concourse now the Camden bar has gone, there’s no ale and Carling is the main option?!

yes i miss the Camden bar i wonder whether there was a hiatus for the friendlies and now with the new company coming in it might give us more choice - fosters is better than carling and that muck Stella - i want Hells lager !

Zoko absolutely rinsing Hyam.

 

[Cov. Kids. Never. Quit]

Shame the weather is so arse. I pictured a sea of sky blue in lovely sunshine for our return, now its going to be raincoats everywhere and a sodden surface leading to a very scrappy game I feel

Did you have the salad?

Salad in Blackpool. You are taking the piss.

Oh that's great news. We may be able to get a wheelchair through there now without the crowd of real ale gorms and the weird starers.

I was on holiday in Egypt at the time and remember it was pre smart phone (just) so I went to an internet cafe to check the score

Probably better off having just enjoyed your holiday!

This weather is minging. Don't fancy a queue

Agreed. 'Six pointer' may be taking it a little over the top and I did suggest that with a little jest but today has to be a 'marker'.

'Real ale gorms' and 'Weird starers'.
Hey, kids if you've just started a band and are struggling for a name...

Did you have a screwdriver?

Of course it's massive

It's just not must win though

Game 2 of 38. We could lose today and still not be in relegation zone

But it is massive no doubt

I was there.

Had an altercation with Oggy, didn't like the way he 'spoke' to me.

That was his last chance with me. Didn't like his manner at the End of an Era ball but I put that down to him having had a few beers.

Apparently a Stella is 8.50

Welcome to the premier league

If true that is poor

We’d be 6 points adrift of the relegation favourites if we lose, for me this is must win despite it being game 2 lol

 

[Warwickhunt]

Well at the moment its the only league city have gone up without playing

 

[Great_Expectations]

Oh that's great news. We may be able to get a wheelchair through there now without the crowd of real ale gorms and the weird starers.

I mean strictly speaking the stuff served at the Camden Bar is not real ale.

I feel that’s an important point to distinguish on such a momentous day.

We will soon find out

Well there's no Stella or Guinness in the ground.

Yeah that’s a fair point, it was only Carling in the east stand fan village during pre season hopefully that’s not still the case

Need those machines they have at Arsenal and do happy hour 1-2 like they did. (Obviously it wasn't 1-2 at that game...)

I can't read this without imagining the voice of Alan Bennet.

There are actually Scousers (I think) trying to sell Hull half and half scarves
