I always thought it was Scott Shearer.... but looking at the records online, it seems Steele was in goal and Shearer on the bench.

Blackpool away the saturday before xmas, being 2 down and a player sent off after about 10 minutes, on that awful temporary stand.... Great Days

Away to Gillingham when Peter Reid was manager was possibly the worst away match i went to. 3-1 defeat, between xmas and new year. The venom directed at Reid (and the players) as they left the pitch was something else.

Was it the first season down or the second, we had a couple of abject home performances prior to xmas..... i think one was a loss at home to Grimsby if memory serves me right, which led to a sit-in protest by the West Terrace. That was quite a bad period.... not sure it compares with the...

Demoted to 3rd division i think.

Pathetic. Just let it go you sad-arse

I never saw them much after Sixfields, until one lonely winter day a year or two later i was behind the goal in the Telegraph Stand, and spotted them half a dozen rows in front!

I stood a couple of rows behind the guys from GMK..... Texas Holdem, Knowl, etc. Used to get the train down.... then stop in that pub (Thomas Beckett?) which was between the station and the rugby ground. Tried to make the best of it but it wasn't particularly fun (particularly when the train...

Another sorry saga was that Brentford game where Fisher got roughed up in that bar in Ealing after the game.... Ok people could say he was unwise to be in there, but it was pure bullying of a guy on his own. Really was shameful.

I had a season ticket behind the goal, immediately in front of the hill. In fact, i was the guy who charged up the hill after the Brentford game to confront those on the hill dishing out abuse, which led to the police getting involved, and i think it was reported on CWR at the time. (i also...

Getting smashed 4-0 or 4-1 away to Shrewsbury on a tuesday night in our first season down in League 1, and realising we hadn't quite hit the bottom yet. Although i had a season ticket, the whole Sixfields episode was grim. Wasps coming in and so many people seemingly backing it. The game...

I like Warwick Racecourse Parkrun. You do get at least several hundred people there, but because of the nature/route of the course, there is little congestion, and no lapping of other runners. There is a short hill at halfway (but the rest of the route is completely flat), and not a good...

Did an uphill race in the Lake District on friday evening, finishing on the summit of Helvellyn. Was incredibly warm on friday (as i'm sure everyone knows), and i felt pretty ropey warming up. Not sure how much was the heat, and how much was just the usual pre-match nerves! This race was in a...

Whilst it is fantastic that these positive changes are happening.... in reality they are just bringing us up to the level needed to compete at the top end of the championship.... and still don't really put us on a competitive footing with the relegated clubs. Hate to put a dampener on things...

I'm far from saying Southgate is perfect, but i don't buy the attitude towards England from the fans/press, that its always the manager's fault... How many "golden generations" have we had in my adult life? How many supposedly "world class" players? And we've had a number of managers who were...

Went down to Banbury today to race for Godiva in the Midlands Tack League Did the 3000mtrs and ran a pb of 10:17 (previous pb was 10:31) km splits 3:20 3:30 3:27 Considering i haven't raced on track for two years i was very pleased. I should be doing a track 5km in the next league fixture in...

I suggest waiting until the final whistle when we've inevitably drew/lost. Maximum rage.

I remember going in 2000 and they had the Drum & Bass tent.... could just walk in with a pack of SuperT and go where you wanted. Some of those earlier years were like the wild west.

How much of a "Morning problem" is it at Birmingham? I'm flying out of there at 6am in September, surely there aren't going to be mad queues at pre-5am? Or am i mistaken?

Anyone do the Northbrook 10km today? I was spectating on Wall Hill Road. Adrian from Northbrook was in 2nd at the time (about 2km in) but he tends to start fast..... was pleased to see he held on for 3rd this year.
