It’s sad, but anyone with their wits about them should be perfectly capable of booking a holiday anywhere in the world without needing a travel agent (and likely to save a lot of money in the process). The one time I tried to give a travel agent the benefit of the doubt in the last five years...

Hot one out there today... Godiva seniors did get that 6th place overall... our second leg with a massive run to go from 20th up to 6th in a single leg, which the rest of the team then held onto. Ladies had a superb run, from 50th after leg 1, progressing through on each leg, to finish an...

Today it’s the Midlands Road Relays at Sutton Coldfield Park (apparently the largest urban park in Europe). 6 legs of 5.9km for the men, and 4 legs of around 4km for the women. Our senior team will be looking for a top 6 finish I reckon. Some fantastic and historic clubs who are very strong...

Yes a big fan... I’d like to get over this season... love the Bentegodi, proper old-school stadium... although there was only about 12000 max in there last time I was there (Serie B about 3 seasons ago). Haven’t seen the Atalanta stadium since they did the refurbishments.... I hope it’s...

Elephant Beer in Italy imo.... Tennents Super seems to be pretty prevalent in some less salubrious places as well...

It was £7 to get in, and a paying adult could take up to 3 kids for free. Whilst it’s all credit to Man City for keeping the prices low, and a positive attendance, it’s a bit of a falsehood given how cheap it was, and on an international break. What pissed me off was radio 5 deemed it...

Not really interested in this kind of shit. Once you’ve competed professionally against someone who wants to severely hurt you, you soon realise that fighting in a group at football is absolutely cowardly... and that includes my fellow CCFC fans. BUT if you think you can compete with Cov...

Temped to say, imagine if we had held on against Oxford.... but that’s probably cancelled out by the Portsmouth match!

Without being too much of a humbug.... the World Cups/Euros get taken over by the once every two year wonders, filming themselves chucking beer around etc... in the last World Cup, one work colleague at the time just wanted England to beat Croatia so he could “film himself jumping in the...

If SISU carry the can for the issues at CCFC, both on and off the pitch (quite rightly)… whether or not there are other factors. Then the owners of the Ricoh (council) carry the can for the sale/lease of the stadium to another party…. whether or not there are other factors.

Another minor point... there was massive talk when SISU took over, of needing "hard-nosed businessmen" who wouldn't bow to fan pressure to overspend, would get the club back on a sounder financial footing, etc, and it would be a rocky road etc... It could well be argued that this is what SISU...

In footballing terms I don't actually think too much can be levied at SISU in terms of specific blame. We were on a massive downward curve when they took over (think Stoke City in their present situation), and was anybody actually really surprised that we went down into the 3rd division...

Cardiff Ninian Park

There’s always spaces at Watford Junction station car park. I’m not sure how far from the stadium, but there were plenty of Watford fans drinking around the pubs there on Saturday lunchtime, so must be pretty walkable...

Never said it was ok. Already made my views pretty clear in my two posts above, and I don’t feel the need to expand on my viewpoint... Certainly not right that foul language and abuse is thrown around like confetti at grounds... but I don’t find calling a grown man “gay boy” in the same...

My point being that they weren’t setting out with the specific aim of “discriminating” against the guy in the pink... it was, (in their eyes only), humour.... as was the crap song against Bob the Builder or whoever he was... If they’d sung “who’s the ginger/slaphead/fatty in the pink....”...

My two penneth, for what it’s worth... Was it offensive...? not really, it’s just a pretty crap thing to chant all round really. I put it in the same category as people singing “Bob the Builder, What a Wanker” at that mascot thing at Cambridge United... I.e it’s basically sung by thickos, and...

Hope you had a go at Bedworth... My local! Three laps, two with short sections off concrete. A much smaller turnout than Cov, but being a three lap course, you can still get caught up in back-markers through the enclosed section.

No Cov Parkrun today...

Whilst I understand the point you're making, I don't entirely agree with it. A couple of examples involving myself to varying degrees... 1) Villa away when we got relegated. At the age of 18/19 I exited the ground in a furious mood, and got involved in one or two arguments... ended up taking...
