    Timeline 1997

    What is easily forgotten is that the ONLY reason we finished the season above Hereford is that we scored more goals than they did. If the tie-breaker had been Goal Difference (like it is now), we would have been the team that was relegated.

    Losing enthusiasm for cricket

    People don't watch cricket on the TV because it's on Sky. They subscribe to Sky because it's the only way to watch cricket on TV. Cricket fans actually enjoy sitting in comfort for long periods of time, watching whatever is put in front of them. This generates masses of Sky subscriptions...

    Losing enthusiasm for cricket

    I remember sitting next to you at what I think was your very first visit to the County Ground. Once I'd explained the offside rule to you, I think you took to the game and it's good to know that you have stuck with it.

    Losing enthusiasm for cricket

    Indeed. I shall, however, continue to follow the fortunes of Firle C C. It's been going since 1758 and I doubt if it's going to collapse any time soon.

    Who is the worst type of Socialist ?

    My mum always used to say of Tony Benn:- "I agree with his politics, but don't trust his aristocratic background".

    Would you sleep in a double bed with your 13-year old opposite sex child?

    Has anyone ever gone camping with their children? Or doesn't this count?

    Paul Whelch RIP

    I'm sad to hear this news, although it comes as no surprise. Paul was a good friend, as well as an Albion supporter who always went the extra mile to help the Club in times of need. He never sought thanks, but he deserves to be remembered as one of the heroes of the struggle. He will be missed.

    And then there was three

    We started tonight's game with a lead of NINE points over the team below us. We now have a lead of just TWO points over the team below us. How anyone can remain optimistic with form like this is a complete mystery to me.

    With all that is going on ("Easter" egg hunt)

    Founder of the Cadbury chocolate empire, John Cadbury, was a Quaker and, as such, didn't celebrate Easter. He set up his company in Birmingham and, today of all days, we should be very wary of him.

    The big issues - how do you stand on the Great Blue v Red passport debate

    There's nothing in the rules that requires EU passports to be burgundy coloured. Croatian passports are EU passports, but are dark blue in colour.

    You’re favourite game of the season so far....

    One of the best matchday experiences has to be the ten minutes AFTER the final whistle on Saturday. Cheering the team off the pitch, followed by the excitement of picking up the news from 'uddersfield via the TV screens in the North Stand concourse.

    Match Made In HEAVEN For The Last Home Game? (Assuming All Goes Well From Here On In)

    I agree. We shouldn't have Bristol City at the Amex because I prefer Bristol Rovers.

    What's the right age to let your children listen to swearing in music/films?

    After a somewhat rowdy evening in a pub somewhere (I can't remember exactly where), my daughter (old enough to buy her own drinks) did tell me that she thought she was too young to listen to my rendition of the limerick about the young lady from Bude who danced on the stage in the nude.
