Rather selfishly, I would go for Nottingham Forest away. None of the sides are particularly local to me, but my employer has a Nottingham office that I could work at for the day.

I feel no excitement for this world cup. I'll watch the England games and maybe Ecuador, but I'll not watch anything else. Also, I know it is only small and insignificant, but I have been avoiding the purchase of any world cup branded items, although I have not gone as far as boycotting the...

Molineux is a funny one - I used to live around the corner. It was rebuilt between 1988 and 1992 and was the first stadium to be fully rebuilt after the Hillsborough disaster. As an upshot of that, there was room between the pitch and the stands for emergency vehicles. Other stadia since then...

I haven't bought an England shirt since the 2010 World Cup, and wanted the away shirt as soon as I saw it. Based on the price, unless SportsDirect discount it (as they sometimes do), I'll give it a miss. As someone else said, there are some really nice retro versions of the 1970 World Cup...

So, to summarise my understanding, nike's 'top' teams (International teams, Chelsea, Liverpool) get a better quality 'performance' shirt that players wear on match days, which they charge a lot of money for. They then sell a cheaper 'stadium' version of the shirt for fans. We (I'm talking...

Fan tokens available to buy for fans that are watching on TV. Every time a given number of tokens are sold, an extra ball is added to the field of play - it comes out of a machine (like the lottery) that randomly selects the ball from a set of 50 balls. However... ...one of the balls in the...

I get it every time and have to re-log in most times too. This is a fairly recent change - within the last month.

I understand postponing professional fixtures, but not grassroots and youth fixtures. I am playing in a Vets rugby match this evening. In line with the RFU guidance issued today, the match will go ahead, but will follow a one minute silence. I am not sure why grassroots football needs to be...

I have no idea, but here is the statement from the race organisers: Following the sad passing of Her Majesty The Queen, last night we made the decision that the final three stages of the race in Gloucestershire (stage six), Dorset (stage seven), and on the Isle of Wight (stage eight) will not...

My understanding is that there are two things to be balanced (I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been said). Obviously there is the need to mourn and pay respects, and sporting bodies will have to decide how this is best done. In addition to this, there is the...

My mojo is at rock bottom. I expected Potter, Hamburg, Reid and McCauley (sp??) to go, but Roberts and Bruno leaving has completely taken the wind out of me.

This is a disaster. I cannot think of a single 'keeper that Roberts has not improved - there is no coincidence that our goalkeepers have been excellent over the last few years.

Di Matteo won the Champions League (with Chelsea) as caretaker manager. (not quite the same, but worth mentioning...)

I get what you are saying, but I meant rebuilding in terms of setting a style of play over a period of time - like he did with us. I actually think the massive transfer spend is almost the rope the new owner gave Tuchel to hang himself with - backing him to the extent that he no longer had any...

I think he'll go. (I could have posted this in any one of 17 threads, but I'm posting it here) Potter likes a project, this is a new owner looking to put their stamp on things - there is unlikely to be another 'rebuilding' opportunity come up at a big club where a new owner actively wants...

I have been watching this and I like it - it seems that Mcelhenny really understands what it means to have a sports team rooted in their local community. As always, Ryan Reynolds provides the comedic side of things (and the money, seemingly). I like as well that in episode 4 they are quite...

I would give serious consideration to getting laceless boots, unless you want to spend half the session tying laces. Alternatively, you can buy silicone strap-type things for £6/£7 a pair that do a good job of keeping laces tied during training/matches (look for 'Laceeze bands', they are...

Bournemouth can get away with stripes on the back - red and black stripes allow for white names and numbers to be quite clear. It also seems to work okay with Brentford (they seem to use a lighter red than Bournemouth, unless this is an optical illusion caused by the effect of it being with...

I'm pretty sure you're right! They are certainly cramming radio 2 with hosts that 30-40 year olds would like. I'm just not ready to make the change...
