Building up for the Yorkshire Three Peaks Race at the end of the month... Went over to Shropshire to do a 12 mile/4100ft training run that i last did just after the first lockdown ended. I was in decent shape then, and obviously raring to go, so my 2hrs21 back then seemed a tough target. Went...

Only time i've ever left early was Burnley away, either shortly before or after we beat Manchester United at Old Trafford (2006 or 2007?) 2 down, abysmal performance. Heard two roars as we walked up the street away from the ground, and Adi Akinbiyi had scored another two in injury time to make...

Was the Midlands 12-stage Road Relays at Sutton Park yesterday. I didn't attend this year, but the Cov Godiva ladies recorded a famous victory! Men's race, Notts AC and Bristol & West were first two as usual. We were about 17th or 18th with a depleted team (usually challenging for top 6...

What defines us. Sheff Utd or Hull? Most likely we're somewhere in the middle. A team on their day who can roll with the best in the division, but frustratingly inconsistent, which means we'll not grind out enough results to make it. That's pretty much exactly where we are right now...

I must admit watching on tv i thought it was in... similar to O'Hares first goal on saturday, i did think it had clearly gone over the line. Although its largely irrelevant.

I agree. I've said for weeks that we'll fall short by 6 or 7 points by the end. But the further we go with it all to play for, then suddenly we might still be there with 4 or 5 games to go. It's the hope that kills you!!

"must win" gets thrown around a lot... but if ever there's a game we simply have to win.....

First of all, i posted it because the post above mine was asking about it. And a friend of a friend was discussing it on facebook (which of course means it must be 100% true!!!) Its hardly a revelation that there's likely going to be people out looking for trouble on saturday. Incidentally i...

Had an hour booked at the track last saturday. Unfortunately the legs weren't fresh enough to attempt a fast 5km (which had been the original plan), nor to go for a real fast 400mtr session. So opted for a 400mtr session, but a bit slower reps than usual, and only 1 minute rest between, to work...

I've heard rumblings that there's a large (100+) Cov group going over.

Will be a right scramble for tickets at Forest, i'm sure their allocation is only 2000. Fortunate to get Derby tickets as they made it to general sale. But even with Forest being midweek, if we keep picking up wins i can see Forest tickets going very quickly.

I think it's usually 2700 for Derby? And 2200 for next week, i assume based on police advice?

Got there in the end!

Think it must be volume of traffic. At about 20th refresh it took me to the next screen, but it crashed out... now it's just whirring round a bit. Fingers crossed!

So are they sold out? Logged on at 10am and can select the Derby game, but doesn't appear to be any tickets available to put in basket...

Its a little bit rich everybody piling in on Waghorn in my opinion... at the start of the season it was pretty universal on here that he was exactly what we needed, a proven striker at this level. That goal he scored early on with the sublime touch and quick finish had everybody purring...

I raced over at Church Stretton in Shropshire on saturday. A very interesting race, with so much variation packed into 6 miles. There were two alternative routes to the first summit, and the 2nd half of the race was packed with options across the top of the Long Mynd plateau.... i reached the...

I suppose chances of these making it past Season Ticket holders are minimal-to-zero...? Would like to go and i suppose the early KO might put a few off. But i imagine they'll be in high demand...

i got 54

I bumped into the Preston "lads" in Cov station at about half 6 last night. (i'd just arrived in from London). Absolute dickheads. Though nothing different to what i've seen from Cov lads (or any other club for that matter)
