In the net *clap clap clap* Ooh it’s a corner!

Coldest I can remember being at BR was a night match against Milwall in 1999 when Tony Caig and Clarke Carlisle ran into each other and knocked each other out. Was so cold that I even dared venture into the Scratching Shed bogs to try get warm! Coldest ever was a few years later away at Bury...

I've sometimes thought about this too. I wonder if perhaps it was because at the time there was no access to the West of the ground as the railway was there. If the majority of people were coming from the East they would likely just use the first turnstiles they came across which would have been...

Haha I remember him. I remember once he shouted it when Nowland had been brought on about ten minutes earlier. Practically the whole stand shouted back "He is!"🤣

Blackpool 0 Rochdale 0 1st September 1990. Tango took me on the pitch before the match and I had a kick about with Ooh Andy Garner! Somewhere there's still a signed football he gave me. I can remember nothing of the actual game though; other than the above the only things I remember about the...

How can anyone be critical of the man who introduced us to Jeffrey Rentmeister...

The first name that came to mind when I read this post was Stuart Barlow, and when I read the name above I did actually shudder... I'd also add James Hayter to the list.

I was flying the flag in Gyetsheed for a canny few years, now returned closer to home.

Great shout for Evans - a great player who would have gone on to higher things had his career not been cut short with injury. I too loved Tommy J - I'm not sure why but he was one of my favourites growing up. Husband awesome too, our best full back last season. The more I read your posts/blogs...

That Huddersfield game was definitely the first game in the new North and West. Ian Marshall scored for us and John O'Kane was outjumped by 5'5 Leon Knight at the far post for him to score the winner in the last minute. I think Wikipedia refers to the "official" opening which took place in the...

Good call on Durham, who did have a league club for a few seasons in the 1920s. Most people in Durham support Sunderland with a few Newcastle fans mixed in - probably a 70/30 split, but in some ways Co Durham see itself as separate to Tyne and Wear, and I could imagine if Durham had stayed in...

HMLR have an online portal for business users where most OCEs can be downloaded immediately. Not sure this is available to the general public though? Might be worth contacting a local solicitor and asking if they can get them for you, they'd probably charge but would be quicker if needed urgently.

The problem with EGCC is that, notwithstanding the T2 extension, the basic model of the terminals is the same as it was since about 1998 when T3 was opened. In that amount of time (up until the pandemic) pax numbers nearly doubled. Also security became far more stringent meaning far more space...

Arguably our best player in the first half of the season, Keshi didn't seem the same after coming back from injury aside from one good game in central mid against Brum. Didn't pick up that vibe on the training vid to be honest, but I'm hoping that a good break has done him well and he'll come...

Not really bothered about not being on to be honest - it's always a right pain with the change of kick off times (Luton at 12.30 for example was a horribly early start) and we're never that good when we're on Sky anyway!
