    Manchester United fans in WT 92/93

    I was in the family stand that day and that had a fair few Utd fans as well. I don't think the WT was given over to their fans.... they just had loads in there. Some of the games later in the 90's were pretty spicy.

    Serie A

    I was in London at New Year and went to the Classic Football Shirt shop in Aldgate. Picked up an original Parma home shirt from 1991. Cost the bloody earth.

    Im at the point now

    It goes without saying its in our hands now. We're still so unconvincing at the back though, we'd still be heavy underdogs against Sunderland or Burnley over two legs in my eyes, regardless of the form table.

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    This was after the Planet. Re-opened as The Institute, would be late 2000 or possibly during 2001. However it only lasted a year or so. Not sure why.... the DnB nights always seemed busy, and the saturday nights appeared to be equally popular.

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    We'll lose one of the next three matches, against the form book. And more than likely produce a win against Burnley or Sheffield United.

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    Yes i think it is a stretch, and just a little too far. Hope to be proved wrong. Not that we aren't capable.... but given some of the games coming up, i suspect there is little margin for error in the other "winnable" games.

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    I think we will fall just short...... as a couple have said above, i think its too much of a stretch to continue the required form for the rest of the season.

    We are right in it

    We'll probably drop points in the next few games, against the form book, then pick up an unlikely win against Sunderland/Sheff Utd/Burnley. It rarely goes exactly true to form. 6-7 points from the next three, and then an optimistic 3pts from the harder three matches, would be 10 pts from 6...

    While the sky is blue - The Believers

    We had the Final Countdown for a short period in the mid 90's too.... possibly the Phil Neal era.... before Mr Blue Sky

    While the sky is blue - The Believers

    Yes. I'd be highly surprised if it was anything other than a tribute act though.

    While the sky is blue - The Believers

    "Pavarotti" did a song at half time on one boxing day in the mid 90's.

    Running

    National Cross Country Champs at Parliament Hill, London yesterday. 12km took me over 61mins which is an indication of how tough the course was. Pure mud and rough ground from start to finish. Godiva finished in the 40's which is the best we could expect with a weakened team (i was in our...

    I'm So Happy

    In terms of what they've done as a club, they're no worse (or indeed better) than pretty much any other club. And reasonably similar to us in terms of historic size, fanbase, success, etc. *i'm no fan of them and will be delighted if/when they are relegated.

    UK Mountain Rescue and the wonderful job they do

    I've raced across there a lot. Funnily enough, the colder it is, the better it usually is underfoot. If its well below freezing the ground is so hard you can make good progress over it. If its only around freezing its just a mixture of soft mud, peat, heather and snow, and every step is a trial.

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    I missed the Eclipse days by a few years.... but in the early 00's it reopened as The Institute and had some really good nights. Drum and Bass on friday nights and then some kind of House/HardHouse (i wasn't into House so not 100% sure) on saturdays. I got thrown out on the opening night for...

    UK Mountain Rescue and the wonderful job they do

    Kinder Scout is notorious for navigational difficulty. There is basically no "high point" on the plateau, its consistent height. You've basically got to bear north/south/west to find the edge of plateau (east is dodgy as it eventually merges in to other fells)..... Which can be very arduous as...

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    I feel similar...... Sanctuary closed in summer 2004, and i'd pretty much given up going to big raves by summer 2005...... although did a couple of big venues after the Sanctuary........ Cov Skydome, and Nottingham Ice Arena spring to mind. Bagleys was my favourite place. United Dance on a...

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    I went to the Sanctuary reunion rave that was put on by Majika and a group of other dj/mc's at the MK Dons/Marshall arena in November. Layout was great, very reminiscent of the Sanctuary, and the music was pretty much on point. However, just wasn't the same.... atmosphere was really lacking...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    I don't think Luton were a fluke, they were in and around playoffs for a couple of years. And they gave it a reasonable go...... had they not absolutely collapsed in the 2nd half vs Forest they'd have probably stayed up. Definitely unique, in terms of club size, ground, etc....... but not a...
