I imagine his salary stretched to more than 1 residence!

Some of our family live in Stratford, the nice one not the one Wet Spam are based in, which is where Daniel Craig lives and I could even tell you exactly where he lives. I say ‘could’ but then I’d have to shoot you or get an 00 to do it.

Not for the want of trying!

I reckon it’s the May 1999 one, sounds about right to me!

Thanks. Sounds like the picture. I was in a brown coat watching on.

If I remember correctly it was just about the Albion. And to narrow it down I moved house around 5 years later and recall having it in the old house, so it must have come out between 1997 and 2002.

I don’t know Leicester very well but I assume the recent finding of Richard III’s remains has given the place a bit more focus historically. Isn’t there also the remains of a Roman bath house? As a ‘cester’ you would think there to be a fair bit of history there, maybe it’s hidden away by now!

It’s a long shot but does anyone know which edition of 442 magazine featured the last day at the Goldstone and, better still, does anyone know how I can get a copy? There was a good picture of me in there digging up the pitch and someone gave me a copy when they were reading it and saw me in...

She was definitely one of the better teachers.

The family club thing probably refers to that fact that they are all inbred! :D Don’t mind Leicester but as has been said on here by others they did rather cheat financially to get where they are now. Plenty of small traders would have lost out significantly through that. Wasn’t there also a...

Oh yes, Brian Clough. I still remember the day of the 8-2 like it was yesterday! I 100% get what you are saying but it starts to get a bit ‘grey’ when the moral card is played. Of course no one expected Villa to say that the dodgy disallowed goal should be reinstated, and in the end it kept...

Well I do have a lot of relatives from that area and it’s not hard to find fans in the family of all the Midlands clubs, so I do follow the teams there. But I have lived in Hove since the late 60s aged 4, first game Rochdale home in 1972, so take from that what you will! In terms of the other...

I did a stadium tour at Newcastle right in the middle of the lockdown last year, full access allowed including dressing rooms which surprised me. It was really well done, as was the Amex one to be fair.

As I said before, it of course depends on your own experiences, I have been there lots of times, often for local derbies, and those cheeky Villa fans tend to give a different reception for their local rivals compared to when the play Albion. It would be like a Villa fan saying they like going...

Less likely in the Premier when seats are more likely to be sold to season ticket holders. I know it happens in some of the West Midlands derbies there from what I am told by fans I know of the clubs involved, I haven’t seen it myself so it’s a bit of a friend of a friend story. I do know that...

No, he said they supported Villa. Probably they come from Worcester or Stafford.

Yes, it’s more than just the bricks and mortar. Molineux always looks a nice ground on TV, better than when I saw Albion win there in the mid 80s, but they now sit the away fans below the home fans in the old John Ireland stand and I hear that the liquid coming down on you from above may...

Yes fair point! I may be wrong about the trophy thing, I think it started when Vile goaded the Newcastle fans when they got relegated there and there’s no love lost apparently. No don’t like that club, never have, they take themselves too seriously. Actually I first started watching football as...

Yep, right up there with Notts County and Accrington Stanley

Actually I’ve been to well over 300 including those I’ve just visited without seeing games at but still your 372 is impressive - you need to get out, I mean stay in, more! But I don’t agree about Villa Park. I’ve been there a lot through family roots and honestly loathe the place. Both my...
