    [Albion] Goodison Park

    Yes. I don't remember being told it was a restricted view seat I was buying - or that we would be sitting on wooden benches from the 1930's.

    08:40 from Glasgow Central.

    Loyalty Miles ?

    I normally stay in Sussex for the weekend for home games - so it's not just a round trip. But according to the club I travelled 14,000 miles last year.

    [Albion] LoyaltyPointGate - discussion with the club

    Apologies - haven't read the whole thread. (Has anyone?) Why don't they just delay adding any new loyalty points to our accounts - by a few months or even till the end of the season. Loyalty should be a long term thing. We should be rewarding fans who have been following the club for years -...

    Vienna?

    This place was ok - http://www.goesser-bierklinik.at/ And Hotel Sacher for their cake.

    It's a TINPOT Premier League NEXT Season

    Can someone explain why the tv contract for the above is worth silly money. Whilst all we get is £200,000 per game?

    [Football] Playoff alternative format suggestion

    To me, what we should complaining about are the ridiculous differences in incomes between the 2 top leagues - in particular, the huge and on-going parachute payments for relegated clubs. Even if today's winner comes straight back down next season (and we don't go up), they will have a...

    Club email - how many matches and how many miles?

    18 games, 12,380 miles. (Just as well they haven't included all the costs!)

    Worst typo / spelling mistake you've ever made or seen?

    Can we include misuse of English in this thread? I've just had to mark an essay by a foreign student about construction projects. I'm still working out how to tell him that you have to be very careful how you use the word erection.

    Football League to switch from three divisions to four

    The problem with British football has always been the focus on quantity over quality. Think this could be a small step in the right direction.

    [Misc] Daily steps counting

    We have done something called the Global Corporate https://www.gettheworldmoving.com/http://Challenge at work for the last couple of years. Adds a bit of competition to the process.

    Preston Roll Call

    Assume we are travelling separately (coming from different directions.) Which pub are we meeting in - seem to remember quite a nice one near the Town Hall last time.

    [TV] War & Peace.

    There are some really interesting themes in the book that never emerged on tv. There's one section where Tolstoy asks why history always focuses on the actions of a handful of emperors, kings, and generals. Whereas history really depends on the actions of everybody - the collective action of...

    The Game

    Thought it was ok - but a very contrived ending. No match for Le Carre.

    Frankfurt

    This was in the Standard last month: What’s the one thing I should do while in Frankfurt, to make me feel like a local? Visit Sachsenhausen – renowned for its small stores, cosy restaurants, authentic apple wine bars and traditional beer breweries. I’ve got some down time during a busy day –...

    [Albion] Give Tony Bloom his end of term mark

    Was a little concerned that in the programme notes yesterday he implied that the main reason for our problems this year were the unplanned managerial changes. Doesn't seem to have done Watford much harm, does it?

    The Blackburn Rovers v Millwall thread

    I did think the "You're going down with the Millwall" chant on Saturday was a bit premature.

    Wigan... I can't believe I'm saying this... roll-call

    Booked a train ticket a couple of months ago. Seemed a good idea at the time.

    Theatre 2015

    Curious to hear what that's like - think its due here in May. Doesn't seem like the most obvious book to put on the stage.

    Dortmund Advice

    Probably not a good idea - Dortmund is not in Bavaria.
