Re: CTF Cup games

Whilst I respect anyone's right to go to any game they choose, I would recommend reading this article first and at least having a think about the issues... the best attempt at a coherent yet impassioned plea against that I've read:

Re: Replica kits

Thanks to all of you who filled the survey in, much appreciated!! We've had almost 3000 responses across the 92 league clubs :) A quick follow-up question for old-timers on here... can any of you remember when the supporters club shop started selling *adult-sized* replica shirts? My personal memory ...

Replica kits

Hi We are currently researching the growth in the buying and wearing of replica football shirts by adult fans since the 1970s. We are aiming to gather the experiences and opinions of fans who have bought or been given replica shirts (be it occasionally or every season!), and of fans who have never o...

Re: Barnet FC Season Highlights Thread

Great to see the old C&C videos again, still got mine, virtually worn out through repeated plays. I wrote a short piece for When Saturday Comes about them a few years back (pasted below) I think the club started videoing games around 87/88 purely for Barry Fry's benefit, the first game being the...

Re: Carlisle Away Sat 5/9

That's bonkers! It's going to cost me £62 return (for me & a child) from Sheffield! It's almost worth coming to London first! Adult and Child with Family and Friend railcard Sheffield to Preston - £28.45 off peak return Out 10:40 - 12:32 (1 change) Back 19:11 - 21:12 (1 change) Preston to Carli...

Re: Best combined Conference winners

Phillips

Yiadom Poole King Johnson

Evans Lowe Bailey Clarke

Akinde Bull


The three names that had to go in were Lowe, Clarke and Akinde, I could come up with realistic alternatives in all other positions.

Re: For Toronto bee

Crazy coincidence - I was at this game. Also went to Toronto Fc on the Saturday... no one there I'd fancy signing though, Earnshaw looked OK but the football was League 1 level at best. John Bostock played in the reserve match that took place straight afterwards (a novel but not unwelcome concept to...

Re: 6001

I don't think any of them were over 5,000. Remember, the South Stand was a lot smaller during our Conference years. Don't think it was much smaller capacity wise - it was terracing, remember. People used to crowd under the roof but usually a lot of space at the sides. Burnley 91/92 was def 7K+ - bu...

Re: Away Area at Sixfields

Usually talk of big away followings is just talk, but on this occasion I think we might really take 1500 if ticketing allows, given the amount of people who will be buzzing after yesterday

Re: Underhill Memories

Another memorable cup game for the wrong reason was an FA Cup qualifying round vs Leatherhead. This was the game when poor Steve Humphries knee snapped right in front of where I was standing near the old tea hut. His cries of pain were chilling as was the sound of the snap. I believe we were leadin...
