    Regardless of views on women's football it's probably way too early for a club of that age to have a hall of fame. Sure they might end up being the best times the club ever had but if they go on to be the best side in the world in 20 years then those achievements pale into insignificance. Mens or women's football 

    There’s been a women’s team on and off since 1973

    Yet another monster gets away with it. I said in the Mendy thread and I'll repeat here, I thank god every day that I have two sons and no daughters. This world is a truly horrendous place. 

    You can still educate your sons about how to treat women though.

    Remember in the 80s taking mornings off from work queuing for tickets for play off games, when we had to stand for hours whilst a couple of people (one was usually Beryl) sold the tickets to us (cash only) from a hatch.

    Absolutely loads about modern life is worse, but not standing around all morning in the car park in a queue that seemed to barely move & being able to do this on your phone instead is one real bonus.

     

    I remember queuing around the stadium to get tickets back in 2000 when we played Stoke at Wembley in the Auto Windscreens final.

    She wants me to go Dolls but it isn't sitting well with me. I think the next 24 hours will be the decider. Have good friends here who will keep an eye on her but not 24/7 which is my concern. Seems her cancer is quite aggressive which is a concern also.

    I had thought of postponing my trip until maybe April but my Sis is not so sure it is a good idea especially as Dad lives with her. He is 98 yo and declining rapidly. Will probably go but will change flight to come back home after 10 days or so.

    Just totally unsure just now TBH.

     

    Was just about to say, can you go and just not stay very long. You can say your goodbyes to your dad and then get back to focus on your wife

    The parking fine has now been cancelled.

    Many thanks for your tips especially Dollymarie as it was through our SLO, Jerry, that it got cancelled. Also, obviously, thanks to Jerry too.

    I know now I will no longer be paying that fine that it will impact on our compliance with ffp regs but so be it.

    Great news, glad to be of help :)

    What Aldi is this as I have never seen this? They use Parking Eye but the cameras track the time you enter and the time you leave the car park, if you spend more than the allocated time then they'll fine you but I haven't heard of a single Aldi where you have to enter the details in store.

     

    Lidl in Yate does exactly this. You put your reg in at the till and then you can use the car park for free for 2 hours, if you don’t put your reg in you get a fine.
