    [Football] How much did you pay for your first game?

    Money was tight in the 50s and we lived in Greenfield Crescent. So dad and I (from 6 years old) took the bus to South Road, walked up Millers Road, down the The Drove and along the Old Shoreham Road to stand behind the North Stand goal. Then it was reversed for the journey back home and a...

    [Football] How much did you pay for your first game?

    Whoops....I forgot this is hanging on the wall in the computer room. Think it dates back to late 50s (someone correct me if wrong) as the games were pre floodlights being installed at the Goldstone. Luckily the printed the admission charge on the posters.

    [News] Floods in Spain

    My friends son lives in Valencia, he & his wife are safe as he built a dam up around his place last year as he felt it was vulnerable to flooding. However he sent this photo of the cercania (suburban) train line from the city that runs at close to his home.

    [News] Floods in Spain

    Had our fair share too (just outside Malaga). Extensive flooding, the most I've seen in the area. A fellow Brit in our town sadly died in hospital after being rescued from his house. But nothing is as bad as Valencia and the suffering those poor souls are enduring. I hope all my other...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Starmer - can't say what a working person is, can't say what a women is - but he knows a freebie when he sees one. Maybe really confuse him by asking what a working women is?

    [News] Chris Kaba .. Justice served ?

    I thought it bad enough that the usual cabal of Corbyn, Abbot & Khan were supporting Kaba but for another Labour MP to join in after Yvette Cooper had made her announcement is almost unbelievable. They just don't understand do they, the very people who have access to crime statistics...
