  1. We’re heading for the Wellington on Bennett’s Hill. Open at 10am so plenty of time. I’ll get ‘em to put one for you behind the bar. 🙂
  2. He's certainly many unprintable things but Kevin isn't a binner. I sat near him at the last AGM. He's clearly well known to NCFC as every time he raised a question nephew Tom was getting agitated trying to shut him down. Besides, he may have an obsessive vendetta against NCFC but as a bean counter there's no way he would shell out £20k on shares in their fiercest rival as a cover 🙂
  3. It certainly isn’t lacking in atmosphere but comfort ? The concourses are so narrow. If there was an emergency and everyone had to get out in a hurry I’d be surprised if there weren’t injuries at best, possibly fatalities. After Rio Ferdinand had recovered from the shock when he moved there from Man Utd he described it as ‘ rustic ‘. He was being diplomatic. I think the New Den is a pretty good ground. Easy access, great atmosphere ( when they’re having a good season ) and the famous Millwall Caff. If you can avoid upsetting the locals and passing out from the drug taking in the lavs there’s much to like.
  4. The narrator implies that the South Stand seats were installed after the Hillsborough tragedy but the change was made at the end of the 1974/5 season in preparation for the return to the top tier that year. One small anomaly in what is a very interesting and informative video.
  5. Have you ever looked in the mirror and said to yourself, “ Hey Kevin old chap, all this hand wringing, gnashing of teeth and sleepless nights I suffer over my 24/7 vendetta against Norwich City Football Club is probably not going to lengthen my life “. You’ve gone down the Ombudsman route, they’ve ruled against you. The football club will wait until hell freezes over before they appease you any further so why not forget about all this “ it is the principle “ stubbornness and, if you must, redirect that energy into tackling other perceived injustices in your life.
  6. Just to square the circle in the equality field it also costs £45 for someone who doesn’t identify as either.
  7. As an ex-smoker and knowing how hard it is to kick the habit I think people should be allowed to smoke but only in controlled environments. The ban on indoor smoking in public must be one of the best pieces of legislation any government has ever passed. YF's suggestion of quadrupling the price of cigarettes is interesting as smokers have always been hammered over the years. I'm not an against increase in prices above inflation but smokers have certainly felt it in their pocket. I gave up in 1976 and a packet of 20 B & H Special Filter cost 47p. The RRP for the equivalent B & H Gold is now £17.06. Had ciggie prices merely kept up with inflation they would only be £4.70 or thereabouts.
  8. If you're an obsessive accountant like Kevin anything concerning money is pretty orgasmic.
  9. Better pencil in the 12th of Never for your next visit then 😀
  10. True but Coventry could make the Play Offs. Long shot but it could happen
  11. No way are we home and hosed although the likelihood is we'll get the necessary points in the next three games. I fancy us more against Swansea than Bristol City but the last thing we want to doing is be going to Birmingham needing a result with them sweating about relegation.
  12. Well they must fancy their chances against the hapless Man Utd but the Play Offs are more important, especially as they'd probably face Man City in the Final.
  13. That's nearly as long as you've been railing against the injustices of life. Infamy, infamy.......
  14. Talking of underdogs and foreign teams ( sort of ) I’ve acquired a taste for Fort William. Standing in the shadow of Ben Nevis their tiny ground is often said to be in one of the most picturesque locations in Britain. That said the weather’s so foul that half their matches are postponed so anyone wanting to tick it off a ‘ been there done that ‘ list will be lucky to find the match still on. They were members of the Highland League for some years but a perpetual basket case team finishing bottom so often that in season 20/21 they forfeited a relegation Play Off match and now reside in the North Caledonian League. Thankfully their overall form has improved and they win games but they’re still prone to some fearful hammerings. In our days in the Nelson post-match me, Nutty and others talked about making a pilgrimage up there one day. Of course it’s never going to happen but the Fort Supporters ( Norwich Branch ) is something I suppose.
  15. It’s a video with Radio Norfolk commentary so how is it odd ? If we’re talking about the OP on the other hand……. 😀
  16. This is Ipswich's big chance but the way everyone seems determined not to get automatic promotion I wouldn't put money on it. Middlesbrough aren't a bad outfit. Fingers croseed.
  17. Back in the 70’s yes but probably now as bald as a baby’s bum.
  18. Two Geordie goals in three minutes. Anyone wearing one will be vibrating for days….
