Lives in Leeds

They certainly didn’t have any issues about the integrity of VAR then or Jon Moss being from Leeds

He’s a Fulham player though

Or banning them from flying halfway round the world to play friendlies

I ordered mine on the first day and it arrived at the weekend

The catalyst for how modern football became with its shiny new grounds and the premier league, just a shame people had to lose their lives RIP to the 97

We’ve had these boring and predictable eras before with the Schumacher years and many would argue the Hamilton years despite him having more competition It won’t last forever

Tbf you didn’t miss much, not saying it was boring but i did two weeks worth of ironing while it was on

I did spot an unfortunate typo, someone called Brian spelt Brain

Maybe it’s me but would’ve liked to see a picture of the people too so i could put a face to the name I did spot one nice moment in the south stand of a family who were recording for when it was their loved one’s turn and then they all embraced which was quite touching

I remember when we played Brighton when they thought they were going to win the league they did this and thought it was a far classier way of doing it then some muted minutes applause every few games Think Brighton did theirs pre match as well so it didn’t feel rushed

Whilst i feel your pain I’m not sure there’s any realistic way to reward fans for travelling a long distance to attend home game, the only thing they could realistically do is to offer a flexible season ticket or a Saturday only season ticket and make it for a section of the ground rather than a specific seat and offer the same benefits of a full season ticket As for away games, there is a lot the club could do. Ranging from an away season ticket where you’re guaranteed a ticket for every away game to a points system where the unpopular games like Blackburn away on a Tuesday night get more points than a Saturday trip to QPR and then if a ‘glamour’ game comes along it’s those with the highest number of points who get first chance of getting a ticket

Lumo operate between London Newcastle and Edinburgh and are open access so not involved in industrial action

For those travelling from London. Grand Central operate from Kings Cross to Sunderland and are not part of industrial action due to being an open access operator They only run a few trains though so you’d need to take the 0748 from Kings Cross and the 1730 back

In fairness there’s threads have appeared this time of the season for the last few years and most end up doing so because of a fear of missing out should we finally get our act together Maybe the new tv deal will have an effect and whilst I’d like to think the club might be creative and offer flexible season tickets i doubt they will I won’t be renewing more due to personal circumstances, work commitments meaning I’ve missed more games than I’ve attended and the 3 hour each way journey just to be bored like i was yesterday

A couple of good one they missed out which are on sky documentaries. Kenny and Howard’s Way Both Merseyside related but well done

He wasn’t interested in coming here so no point getting hung up about it We do need someone in that mould though who’s mobile

The current situation seems to have been of his making, starting with getting rid of Pearson and being responsible for his replacement Has very clearly been over promoted and has the ear of the chairman which is a potentially dangerous combination

Five years ago whilst Lewis was winning a lot he at least had competition either from his teammate or from Vettel at Ferrari who was relatively strong at the time until their car was found to be illegal. Most of last season and on Saturday the race was effectively over by the first corner Currently the most interesting thing is the behind the scenes drama at Red Bull and who is trying to get Horner out, currently rumoured to be Verstappen senior

I think this whole Manning thing has got a little out of hand. And me deciding not to renew isn’t anything to do with him It’s a combination of losing the feeling of FOMO since Nige has been sacked and the fact that coming from East London relying on trains through strikes and unreliability makes another year of doing that not very appealing So will probably go for membership next season

So unless I’m misreading it the club basically lied with its initial communications to place the blame on the police rather than not bothering to tell anyone until less than 3 weeks before the game Can we therefore assume waiting for tv games are announced was an attempt to shift the blame onto sky?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all part of an attempt to force him out, rumours of a power struggle behind the scenes since the owner passed away between Horner and Marko Maybe they need to be careful what they wish for

Millwall away a few years back

I found this from an Ipswich podcast online. Talks about his career (mostly about Ipswich for obvious reasons) but also covers that movie and his time with us (safe to say he didn’t think much of Denis Smith) i didn’t realise he stayed in the area for around 30 years

Other than them going into towards section 82 and having tinnions son with them (no idea how that was relevant) it was no different to others events they’ve done since starting the former players such as the stars of the 60’s one I see it more as reconnecting with the past which is long overdue rather than celebrating a good result 30 years ago
