I did A levels, but didn't go to University as quite frankly i didn't know what i wanted to do... Ended up doing a Mechanical/HVAC Engineering apprenticeship/HNC, and have worked in that industry ever since, from the office side, ie as a Project Manager/QS/Estimator, rather than "on the tools"

Quite unique fell race today in the very quiet little mountain range that sits between Chester/Wrexham and the Snowdonia range further to the west... starting on the summit of the mountain and finishing at the back garden of the pub in a tiny village at the foot of the mountain, 2 miles and...

I saw a few photos and apart from the ones posted above, the "main stand" did appear to be around 80-90% full...

Assuming our matches on 29th and 1st go ahead... and with the covid passes required... Does anybody know if there are still going to be cash turnstiles operating? I'd like to go to at least one of the games but don't really want to buy tickets in advance as there's a good chance i won't be...

Raced on the Shropshire hills last sunday... 15th in 1hr16 (how many 5 mile races take 1hr+, i could knock 5 miles out on the flat in around half an hour!!) Having not raced on the fells since late september i didn't have the usual "zip" up the climbs... wasn't a poor result, but felt i...

Yes we were, however we were at the top end of what was obviously a massive downward curve (as opposed to our current upward curve :D)

If you can't see that things are currently on an upward curve then there's little help for you (admittedly we don't know entirely at what end of that curve we are at) I think it was nailed on that we'd go down to League 1 (at the very least), it happened to so many other clubs, it was always on...

IMO any team who who haven't got a fully vaccinated squad should be forced to play with whatever healthy squad members they have left... regardless of whether that's us, our opponents, Premier League teams, etc.

Godiva club night.... 2 x 2.6km reps with two minutes rest between. Kept them very consistent, 9:35.0 and 9:35.4 (approx 18:20/km pace) Did 16 miles sunday, 13 monday, 15 yesterday. Packing the miles in, but easy running all the way now until race on sunday.

Barnsley is one of the better away days tbf... Massive away end, unreserved seating/standing, close to town centre, close to railway station, easy access to motorway.

A quick google check says 30th October. Although can't see anything on the official site.

I think it was The Bull a while back. But late 2000's-2010's was definitely The Orchard.

The Orchard.... About three years after this holiday i ended up playing football for the Orchard for a few years... it's a mini Sainsburys now.

I had us 7th, 4pts off 6th. Barnsley and Derby more or less down.

My biggest holiday memory of Cov was a summer holiday in Rhodes.... I walked into a regular bar of mine for the saturday scores and there was a Leicester flag across the door, and instantly took a load of shit off a large group of Leicester fans.... i thought it might get hostile as they soon...

Sorry no i've not ran it, but it's just under 5 miles for one lap of the reservoir, so i assumed it must be 1 and a bit laps. I run at Draycote regularly, its undulating but nothing too serious. Worst bit is the wind along the long dams at each end of the reservoir. That can be really challenging.

That will be 1 and a bit laps of the reservoir?

Club night with Godiva. 5 x 1km with 90secs rest. A much hillier km circuit than usual, and quite a battle with the wind. First three done in around 3:45 but then the weekend started to tell in my legs, and was down to 3:55 by the final rep. 8 miles, and 5 miles AM, a solid start to the week.

Totally agree with Legia above. Some massive snobbery going on.... no doubt Derby are honoured to have such a huge game as Coventry away. I remember a few years back we drew Barnsley away and people were going mental about how it was a shit draw/tinpot club/etc..... conveniently forgetting...

I remember Everton away in the FA Cup around about 1996. It was my first experience of a really big away following... i think we took 8000, i remember the sight of all the Harry Shaw coaches in a massive convoy going through Birmingham on the M6. Obviously the game was a complete let-down...
