Having been in a fair few of those old crowds, I can tell you that you really knew you were in them, unlike today when we're fairly well thinned out whatever the gate. As an example (not a Goldstone crowd) I remember a fifth round cup tie at Peterborough in the 80s when I started out a few steps...

When you describe these new stadia as sustainable, I'm assuming you mean economically (for the club). They can hardly be described as environmentally sustainable when you consider many of their locations - out of town, near major roads, with massive car parking spaces. We have a pretty good...

Chester away in mid-70s at old Sealand Road ground. We were in the home section and someone called the away fans "bloody cockneys" to which they replied "bloody geordies". She then fainted from the cold, we lost 0-3 and she hasn't been to a game since (except one at Withdean almost by accident)

Should have been a pen for the foul on Murray anyway.

Seems to be the pattern now. Score in first half when we are usually kicking that way, then defend the lead for most of the second half. It used to be the opposite when the stadium first opened.

Much the same in WSU - loads stampeding back from the queues to see what they had missed !

He's got to get in the team first.

Regarding ads, have you noticed how many BBC programmes are "turned into" news items on the BBC News just to give them a plug - Panorama topics spring to mind.

and mine !

About time we got a few freebies ! I remember we cyclists were often handed a free programme on arrival during the first season at the Amex.

I suggested the third one on here about 5 years' ago.

Thanks for that Pedant - I love all that interesting nitty-gritty stuff. Now you mention it, I remember that they were simply called Bradford back in the 60s. Incidentally, Nuneaton now have a new owner and things look brighter - albeit relegation looms. I did see them beat Stoke City in the cup...

I watched Bradford Park Avenue win 6-0 at Nuneaton Boro last week. It was the first time I had seen the club of that name since they drew 2-2 at the Goldstone in 1964-65 in front of over 20,000 people in Div 4. They were big competitors during that memorable (Bobby Smith) season.

It's merely a cynical attempt by commerce to fill the gap between summer and Xmas, now that bonfire night seems to be attracting fewer sales. Unless you are particularly religious, I doubt whether the feast of All Hallows means very much to you. Incidentally, I think that the "celebrating" of...

Still love seeing those nonchalant Tomer pens.

Here's mine- 60th Anniversary next year - still cycling to all the games as well

Us old codgers remember him as the straight man to Arthur Haynes.

5-4 + 2-2 - as reported on Sky.

Won 7-6

I love Wolves. Since a League Cup defeat in 1969, I've never seen us lose to them. My best away ground by a long shot.
