The Railway which is very near Hale Station, Robbies pub. This is where the famous video of Vinny making a speech standing on the tables, on a Sunday night, after we won the league a few years ago was filmed. Others in Alty town centre that would deffo have it on are the Tavern on the Green off...

I see in the industrial estate between Northumberland Park station & the stadium (and at our end of the ground) there’s the Redemption Brewery tap which apparently welcomes away fans-drank their stuff a lot in London & they do a good pint. Given the lack of decent options near the ground this...

What’s the concourses like at the new WHL? Did the old one about 3-4 times but suspect like many of our support next week it will be my first visit to the new one. Was a bit cramped in the corner at the old gaff, presume it’s Beavertown on tap everywhere & loads of space?

Despite the snow this morning & unlike yesterday’s signal failures the first tram off Altrincham towards town was running & on time at 0559. There’s no rhyme or reason to tne consistency of the service even on the Altrincham line which is generally the ‘best’ line.

Got a MAN-EUS return on split tickets site for £67. Out Friday lunch & back Saturday morning. Very luckily I have a pal in Cheshunt so staying at his then a very easy do on the Overground down to WHL. Just the actual match tickets to sort now.

Think I saw the same group. Just before the bridge on the final section of Wembley Way back up the steps to the tube. About 7-8 of them who were just aiming for a reaction. I felt embarrassed for them, they cling on to something that happened 37 years ago & don’t have anything else, as others...

Was sat in Club Wembley at our end, what you always notice at Wembley with the gap between the bottom and top tiers is it’s hard to get a unified song going as different pockets of people sing their own thing and it can take a few seconds for other blocks to catch on by which time it’s all out...

https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/mancity They are. I use them regularly and yes it’s not easy to find on the app but if you try the above link or search for ‘Avanti Manchester City’ you should be able to access the discount link. Not just ST holders either, as far as I can tell it’s if you are...

Immense. Had to argue my way in with a ticket in someone else’s name but thank god I did. Cracking atmosphere up top. We finally turned up on the big occasion in the UCL, now to complete the job at home.

To be fair this isn’t just a European game thing, they don’t tend to have alcohol on sale full stop at Spanish grounds in my experience from going to domestic matches at Athletic Bilbao & Valencia in the recent past. They might sell low or non-alcoholic beer.

I tried both the previously recommended nail polish remover & also hairspray last night. It quickly became apparent that with the ink they’ve used the name would smudge quite badly & frankly it would look even dodgier then just leaving the current name on there. As someone said before you are...

I was sat in Club Wembley for that. Lots of Mackems in full suits and red ties, bless em, just slightly overdressed. For a club like Sunderland reaching one of the two main domestic cup finals is going to be a once in thirty years event so fair enough they treated it to a full weekend & got a...

Eased our way back in there after the long break and we couldn’t have had more compliant opposition. Main thing was no injuries & Laporte getting a good run out. I really fear for WHU though on that evidence if there are 3 worse PL sides I’m struggling to see them.
