Absolutely agree with this. Think the explosion of celebration and relief was greater than any other game (remember I ended up about 20 feet from where I started and twisted my ankle in the process!). The dream we thought was over was alive again. (Edit: This refers to Gynn's semi final...

As we're dependant on ticket revenue to generate funds, I'd like to know how we can be promised a "top eight budget" before we know how many season tickets are sold. Not telling fibs again are you Mr Fisher?

This is exactly it. I recently had a conversation with a former employee (who everyone here would know). They said those at the top are really nice people but haven't a clue how to run a football club and won't take advice from those who do. Summed it all up really.

No problem, thought you might like to know!

Hey Gruff! Video update! My daughter has just been messaged by a player she knows - they were shown the video before the game today (he spotted her appearance in it!). Good work Gruffster!

Cheers Gruff. Stills photographer by trade but bought a great little camera to shoot some video at Wembley after not having any record of my visit in '87. Did it for the kids mate!

Hadn't told my daughter she was in my YouTube vid, now you've used a clip on this which is getting a few views! Think I better warn her!

Enough of this nonsense. Where's that bloke with a mate in the ticket office, he must know what's going on.

Not much response to this! Here's my effort to capture some atmosphere but not miss too much of the game! No goals but a decent record of the day.

This nonsense went to a new level for me. Decided to take an my old Union Jack Cov flag as it was there in '87 (and can be seen on a few YouTube videos of the 80's strung to the railings at away games) so duly emailed Wembley as requested describing the flag and measurements and politely asking...

It's ok, there's a railway line behind the stadium. They can build another station.

Didn't want to like it but fair play chaps, not bad at all. At the moment a version called Keep the Club Alive might be more apt though.

Beg to differ on this one old bean. I've been to Fulham and Bolton and both have loads more space than Ryton. More pitches plus 3G indoor and out. Portacabin classrooms and changing are evident at Bolton (and quite a few other training ground/academies) but do the job nicely. Fulham have been on...

Sure there are the buildings, but as far as training "ground" is concerned I'm pretty sure we've the equivalent of two pitches and that's it which is quite poor for a league club, particularly as there isn't even a small 3G area. I think you're right, the facility did once impress new players in...

Surely the club only own half the site now i.e. two football pitches - which is a bit pathetic for a league club training facility. I'm sure the Connection building and indoor astro are owned by another party now which is a real shame as the site has everything you need to accommodate a Cat 2...

I've been to many league academy venues and never seen one on a school site, although a few are shared with university sports sections. For what it's worth Ryton ranks as probably the most basic ( and certainly the smallest) first team facility I've seen. Investment at any new site will involve...

I could have written exactly this myself (apart from being a bit older!). Definitely my era and could name all that team with ease. Would cycle from Leamington to the training ground during the school holidays and stand on the touch lines watching them train, never any problem. Ron Wylie would...

A design to fit 25,000?! Where can this be seen? Must be an architectural masterpiece!

This one statement confirms that no one should believe a word Tim Fisher says. (Goes with the original new stadium "designed and built in three years" line three years ago when we hadn't even found a site). There is no way on earth that a 25,000 stadium would fit on that small plot. 12,000 would...

I see what you did there. Very funny.
