Club night with Godiva last night.... 12 x 400mtr reps with 1 minute rest between. Managed them all at a consistent 3:20/km pace, which is decent but not groundbreaking by my standards. Main thing is they were completely consistent throughout, and with only a minutes rest it was a hard...

Opening fixture of the Birmingham League Cross Country yesterday, on farmland a few miles outside of Crewe. A real bumper day, as traditionally the opening fixture sees the ladies sharing the same venue, and all three mens divisions racing together. So it was over 600 on the start line for the...

There were a couple of high-scoring thrillers there in the first part of the season. Clark and Wilson were a superb partnership. That left-back who went to Derby (Christie?) rampaging down the flank. Funniest moment was one of the matches in the 2nd half of the season. I stood behind the goal...

I went to the majority of Northampton games the first half of the season, just paying on the gate. As the football was so good, i then bought a half-season ticket, i think in December... After that, i think we won one home game all season :D

Yes it was a poor experience. Despite only being 10-15 mins walk from the station, it really felt an out-of-town venue.... just that chain pub on the retail park. Poor crowds. Some of the football was brilliant though.

Yes, i was fighting pro at the time...

Don't know... ask the originator of the thread. Just commenting on a thread really. Definitely not expecting people to all agree with me on such a divisive issue... just saying as i saw it.

I went to the majority of Northampton games. Like everyone else in the stadium, didn't want to be there, but was just supporting the team, in the face of what where terrible off-the-field circumstances, and nobody really knew what was going on. Perfectly happy to lay the blame for playing there...

I'm not a member, but i'm fairly sure the Nuneaton & Bedworth supporters club regularly advertise ticket/travel package on their social media for away games.

Quite possibly/probably!!

One of my best memories from Highfield Road was when we played Leeds late 90's and was actually a defeat... 3-2 i think... it was the one where Hadji scored that half volley which was on goal of the month on MOTD. Brilliant match, brilliant atmosphere from both sets of fans.

At 3-3, Peter Ndlovu then went on a run past most of their defence then managed to miss... if i remember correctly, he might have hit the post/crossbar.

Is it April 1st already

Ah yes, the county champs on Jan 6th (or is it 8th?)... Quite flat, twisty and fast for the most part, one decent hill towards the end of a lap, then downhill into the finish. Usually a two lap race i think. We are blessed round here to have such a strong XC league and regional/county champs...

I remember that first season. We were also flying high early on. I remember we played Norwich early on, a real top of the league clash... i was away from Coventry that weekend but the game was live on Radio5, which was a massive novelty back then, we didn't often get such a billing.

I was at St Albans City to see Bedworth United get relegated, perhaps 6-8 years ago.

@Rich nice one, well done. Yes that little climb is tough... if you can become stronger on the hills it really makes a difference on XC as you can gain an advantage onpeople through strength and determination, rather than having to rely on speed (which i'm far from blessed with!) Is Bedworth...

XC = cross country So it's off road.... i don't know in what condition the course was, but i train on it regularly and it varies from bone dry, rock hard and rutted, to muddy and waterlogged. A couple of little hills on there. It's fairly kind as XC courses go, but even then it's still...

How did you find it...? It's a great informal event for having a look at XC running. I was supposed to be there.... however i got a last-minute callup to our first team to run in the National XC Relays at Mansfield. I was well out of my depth, losing about 11 places on the anchor leg. Ran...

100% I'm not really interested in getting into a protracted argument about it.... i have no doubt that i'm in the minority... it's just my feelings on the subject. I feel (perhaps wrongly) that late or high tackles are overly punished, whereas people deliberately fouling are relatively...
