Changing tack slightly, the ref Alex Chilowicz came from the MLS last December and was fast tracked into the efl. He is 37 and reffed over 200 games starting when he was 29 (2017)
Steve Evans recently said it won't be long until he is the the prem league. I don't think Evans meant that as a...
I do love it when these newbies turn up and want to try and give a faux lecture to us about the tough side of the mean streets of football. Forgetting that we won league 1 just over 10 years ago playing tika taka football and not the usual agricultural methods of that level. And we beat a prem...
East Stand Lower
Got there at 6.40 and initially bought from south end of concourse. 2 pints served quickly, bombay potato pie served hot and sturdy. The vegan curry took a while to be served but I will say that once tasted, it ranks in the top 5 of foodstuffs I have had in an amex concourse...
Quite simply they worked out based on 3 sources. Questionnaires, trialling different service methods and seeing how speed impacted takings and also by time and motion studies using cameras to assess people who queued and then walked away or who didn't get served before games starting etc

We knew it would be carnage yesterday and it didn't disappoint.
Man city did a survey at their stadium and worked out that of service was just 10 seconds quicker each order it would increase income by £10m per season. Given sodexo are I believe on a fixed contract that is their income they're...
I detest how the bbc and sky pundits avoid saying anything negative about this because their paymasters are so invested in it.
It's shit, it could kill county cricket and it's another example of the ecb when faced with a turn left/turn right choice making the same wrong choice screw up each...
Does make you marvel at what we have achieved. Back in 2017 with Hughton around and losing away at Leicester (with that miserable cockwomble Ian Stringer ex of apprentice and Leicester employment tribunal where failing to win an unfair dismissal claim against the bbc, slagging us off as...
Strangely I don't actually know who the moderators are. Obviously I know Bozza but although it says on profiles I don't tend to read them.
*It's a this point I find out that Paul Table and Steve Foster are mods isn't it
Ever since one of (i think Chappers') photos ended up on my Internet history and found by my son who then showed my wife leading to a long conversation that nsc isn't always 'like that' I am just grateful that I can read and sometimes participate in a wide-ranging forum that is almost as good...
I have been suffering with a slipped disc for a few months so decided when needing to travel to pay 1st class. Imagine my surprise* when I get on and find all 1st class (not just the rear coach) seats taken by people with standard tickets. I ended up having to ask for a less able to stand seat...
My experience is that this year's are perhaps true to size whilst last years were in reality a size smaller than listed.
At least they aren't square like the European shirt from last year
As many have said, this is a direct result of a move to driver only operated trains and less of the promised 'mobile' revenue protection/assistance
It always was a false economy. Makes the network less accessible and also less safe (for example violence against women on the rail network is up...
I always thought oysters looked regurgitated already. Never had one but suspect it's like sucking phlegm off a slate.
That said, and in keeping with this thread, I'm sure wheelers do the best phlegm on slate around
