  1. And then selling the cakes to Bournemouth?
  2. Good ground. Went there a few times when I lived nearby. Watched a few Chelsea reserves games there too and saw a lot of talent
  3. Leicester City. Premier League champions and FA Cup winners from nowhere. And they're about the same size as us. As Gilbert (Fridge) used to say "You's can always dream "
  4. Can remember watching the home game against Millwall, going 3-0 down just after half time and thinking that it didn't look good for him so early in the season.
  5. Atmosphere. Location and surroundings. Tradition. Its all about the feel of the ground and surrounding area for me. I love Villa Park. Been there with City a lot and also as a neutral. Big stands and atmosphere. White Hart Lane was fabulous (Soft spot for Spurs). The old shelf along the side of the ground which used to bounce. As for smaller grounds, I like old grounds. Burnley, in amongst the terraced houses and Bradford
  6. Definitely not as we're going to barnstorm our way to promotion next season playing progressive, front foot football.......... Aren't we?
  7. It was. Up there with my favourite away games. The old wooden stand rocked that night. And the performance was special
  8. Or as Milletts once said "Now is the winter of our discount tents ".
  9. Jacki. Genius. Flawed yes but under the right manager he'd win games on his own.
  10. When I started going regularly to home games I was 7 years old in 1968. I used to stand at the back of the old enclosure against the wall and stand on an old wooden box with my uncle. My grandad used to sit in the front row of the old stand right above us. Always worried his false teeth were going to come flying over the wall as he was ranting so much! When I was about 12 I was allowed to go into the East End on my own. Magical
  11. Dickie came into the City side a few years after I started watching. He had a prodigious leap on him for his size and was a decent footballer unlike some of the 'Stopper' centre halves in those days. Geoff Merrick came though in exactly the same playing style and could also jump a lot higher than his height suggested. The Collier/Merrick centre half pairing was the foundation of our promotion winning side along with big Dave Rodgers as a more than suitable replacement. RIP Dickie
  12. Along with Buster Footman
  13. Didn't see that one. Thanks for the update
  14. Very long and detailed article on the BBC sport website about Millwall being a Championship club and getting to the semi final of this tournament. We get a one line mention halfway through. Talk about London bias!!
  15. Roughly translated, it says "Domino hoo hoo".
