    National league crowds

    There were very strong rumours that the stand burning down was not accidental. Especially as Derrick Robbin's company built the new stand.

    National league crowds

    Not in my lifetime either, but loads of grounds were open all around at first. Think my grandad said something about Highfield Rd, but I may be misremembering, which is not unusual at my age. Just realised my family has supported the City for five generations and the youngest is 19. Maybe six...

    Wright

    Will Haji be jet lagged? Think that is a more important than the rest, although I think the Sleep Coach will be all over this. Robins would sometimes rest players, apart from Lati who always played after international breaks.

    National league crowds

    Remember the Blackburn game was in 1967, although I saw but did not experience trouble at non-league friendlies earlier in pre-seasons. Small town mentality. Don't know when it was changing around at half time at Highfield Rd, or other grounds but there was no segregation in the early years at...

    The Enemy at CBS

    Maybe we can get Jerry Dammers back to reprise his stint on the turnstiles for us.

    Used to do that at every ground even Highfield Rd. Lots of fans changed ends at half time. First time I experienced hooliganism was at Blackburn when we were changing ends.

    Wright

    People at the match this season despite all his goals still say he needs replacing with a proper striker? You know who you are.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Bannan is a great player. Wonder how many years he has left in the tank? If Wednesday fold, would be worth a punt.

    Lati

    We have a small squad so lets move on another player who played a lot of minutes last season. Duh, Lati has been injured and has had no pre-season. That puts him a long way behind our other players. Lati played virtually every match for Jamaica, but not this week. That says he is not match fit...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The Peterborough Chairman said he couldn't lose in the playoffs last season, as if either Mason-Clark or Burrows got promoted, they would get a million. Didn't quite work out as anticipated. From what I read, I think Haji's one million sell on clause has expired.

    Keeping Lampard

    Lampard does not need the money. He is seriously minted. Every manager wants to manage in the PL and Champions League. I think Chelsea came too soon in his career and Everton were struggling with a poor squad. Rangers guarantee Champions League football, at least for a couple of games. If Lamps...

    Home v Blackburn

    Some words of caution for which I have been spectacularly wrong so far this season. Four players back from International duty. Haji and Asante may be very tired. This is the Championship. We have a great home record recently against Blackburn. I expect us to win as I don't think Lamps will...

    Injury Updates

    Think Lamps is keeping things close to his chest. Torp on the bench against Wednesday is promising. Eccles may not make it for a while. No inside info, just a suspicion. Rudoni some weeks could mean anything.

    Matty grimes

    Agree can only think of the Leeds and Burnley matches at home where he was less than brilliant. Was it against Burnley he gave them the ball back that led to the equaliser? Think that is why Lamps drilled into the players not to show the opposition too much respect regarding the parachute teams.
