    Game 1

    Well, the match against MK Dons marked game one of the OS Xmas / New Year visit... and what a let down it was. It all started pronisingly enough. A quick lunch at The Fish House followed by a visit to the much improved club shop and the beaming smile of the ever helpfull and friendly...
  2. Ticket Office Queue

    Hope the queue has died down a bit now (Sunday 5 O'clock!) only when I came past it yesterday at 5 minutes to 3 it stretched from the Ticket Office to nearly the turnstiles in the East stand. Thought they might put kick off back and had to laugh as I walked past a worried Geoff King who...

    Leeds 2005.

    Got back from the Carling Festival in Leeds today. Just went for Saturday and had a great time. First year I've been on my own, so I took advantage of the freedom to check out as many bands and stages as poss. First up, a band I knew of but didnt pay much attention too - "Do Me Bad...

    A bizarre weekend...

    Living in Lincolnshire was always going to make Saturday an awkward journey to MilStad. Coupled with the fact I woke up Saturday feeling rough as toast (nerves, or the 'Good Luck' meal my girlfriend treated me too on Friday??) and just could not face another 4 hour drive after dashing up...
  6. Leon C

    Just read a good post from Kenny about his memories of the last seven years and it he referred to the loss of Leon Cort and the Constantine fellow. Which was the greater loss? Take your pick. In Constantine we had found our first 20+ scorer for some time and many felt that loss would hurt our...

    Chester Today

    Went to today's game and I must say I am relived we came away with a point. As the game kicked off the wind and rain really picked up. The Blues were playing in to the wind in the 1st half and Daryl struggled to get his goal kicks anywhere near the halfway line. As we all know Chester scored...

    The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven." Arthur...

    Uefa set limit on Johnny Foreigners

    This seems like an ace idea to me, could help the domestic game quite a bit with home grown players being blooded in. I think they especially need it north of the border where the Old Firm derby contains hardly any Scots! -------- Uefa has announced clubs competing in the Champions League...

    The fbm view and ratings

    ...is the main SZ report.  But I've posted it here anyway in case there are problems or delays in getting it up. A shape of things to come as Blues tied in Notts All of a sudden, people have begun to notice Southend and there have been some very decent and complimentary comments made about...

    Groundhog Day

    My favourite film... Sunday February 1, 2004 The Observer (Today) is Groundhog Day. Perhaps your diary does not remind you of this celebration; mine lists nothing between Epiphany and St Valentine's. Maybe because the 117-year-old Groundhog festival takes place in Punxsutawney, western...
