Yes, that's correct. In the Newcastle case, his social media presence was also checked!
Edit: if you can be bothered, he wrote up his experience here. He's called Simon Ritter and lives in West Sussex, so could be someone on here's neighbour.
Blimey. I've never noticed segregated turnstiles in the Putney End. Do these random checks actually ever happen at away grounds and who does them?
By the way, our ticket office does investigate sales of General Sale tickets in home sections for likely away fans and recently even withdrew a...
The only time I've ever entered into the Halloween spirit was when I was obliged to accompany a 8yo MissBC 'trick or treating' around the mean streets of Fiveways. Rather than being very grumpy and spoiling it for her, I dressed up as Stupid Death from Horrible Histories, learnt the song and...
😄 Yes those are the tennis courts in Bishops Avenue. If you'd been drinking on Fulham Palace Road, it's the quickest route to the ground. So tennis players have been used to ribald comments for generations. Until the 1990s, Bishops Park was closed during the game and a scary Scottish LBHF Parks...
Actually, it was first introduced when we were in the Premier League back in the 00s, but continued through the relegation years, until redevelopment of the Riverside stand. I think EPL rules prevent it now. Shame.
No, not in the Prem. The redevelopment displaced thousands of Fulham ST holders, most of them into the Putney End. The club had to do a very complicated exercise including physically counting each seat, to ensure there were enough seats available for displaced Cottagers, away fans, FA and EPL...
I do beg your pardon. I misinterpreted the HMRC rules about the Residential Nil Rate Band being passed onto beneficiaries. It only applies to direct descendants. Quote from the website below:
'If you give away your home to your children (including adopted, foster or stepchildren) or...
Is there no will that leaves the property to another beneficiary? I would have thought that the estate is liable for IHT, however that works out. That could be complicated if there's no will. See my post #373 about preserving residential Nil Rate Band if 'downsizing' into a care home.(@A mex...
@Cotton Socks Try Smorl's houmous (made on the Open Market by a Fiveways resident) or Ramonas from the supermarkets. But Mrs BC's home made is the best.
My answer to the original question is tahini. I spread it on toast instead of butter and before marmite, make salad dressing from it and also...
I was watching the track cycling world championships last night and he was punditing. I thought he'd lost some of his bulk but seemed well. I was gobsmacked when I heard this this morning.
This is what I'm doing, to pay for the care home fees. Be aware that there's a 'Downsizing allowance' if the homeowner goes into a care home which means that the Residential Nil Rate Band can be preserved. It's a bit complicated but worth knowing about...

She played a Copper Family song. Gutted I missed them at Ovingdean Village Hall last Saturday.
