Each to their own mate but I would not base my view of a proposal, to help those struggling, be determined by a personal experience as irritating as I have no doubt it was. Would not disagree with the last paragraph al all.

Surely you would not begrudge them a ticket? It’s not happening but I cannot think why it would be a bad idea.

Fair point. The devil is in the detail.

That video highlights to me how society has changed rather than how the gardens have been mismanaged. If those flowers were in the gardens today they would not last a weekend without being destroyed.,

Same here with the great north run, no interest at all from me. Must be a nightmare getting in and out, corralled like cattle at the start. Those sort of runs leave me a bit cold nowadays. Trails for me mainly now. Got a 18 miler tomorrow over the New Forest, 140 competitors only. Even the...

Yes I was listening to a podcast with the pollster Frank Luntz about the importance of places, in particular, like Pennsylvania and the huge sums of money involved in campaigning in these areas. I suppose in a Country as vast as the USA, with such varied areas and communities there is some...

Hilary Clinton got over 2.8 million more popular votes but still lost to Donald Trump. Probably a better example of how the above could happen.

The whole system has been a mockery for years now. Back to 2011 when they went through a spell of giving ticket points out like confetti for certain matches and the current iteration by offering double points for those prepared of pay an extra 50 quid. I refused to do that (don’t blame anyone...

I think that is the situation at most supporters clubs. Allocation of tickets is not based on points only.

So sorry to hear such sad news. Life must be terribly difficult right now, but love stays forever and going forward you will have some wonderful memories to cherish of the past 18 years. Take care of yourself.

That could also be when we’re winning 3-0 and playing keep ball for the last 20 minutes.

In fairness to him it was pre-Oxford at home when his stock was still pretty high.

No Niall Quinn comes across as one of the really good guys in football. Was brilliant for us for 5 years, from his first game to his last. As a teenager, around that time, it was pretty exciting to watch World Cups and watch one of your heroes from your club playing. I have to say those from...

Nothing I can think of. Always comes across as a bit beige but a pretty decent bloke.

My plan would be the following: 1). Set a spending cap on all clubs to enable a level playing field. 2) Do not link it to revenue of clubs so if club owners wish to Invest up to the spending cap they can. 3) If club owners wish to invest they can but they cannot place debt on the football...

Call me an old misery but that would be the last park run I would have turned up for. The start would be as packed as walking down the old kippax steps, post match.

Moreton 10k on Sunday. Not raced that distance before so was a bit tricky trying to pace the run. As it happens the slight inclines and soft sandy conditions soon slowed me down so never had to worry about going off too fast. Really enjoyable event and as it was not strongest field got a decent...

A few comments on a forum is hardly representative of their fanbase. I think every fanbase will have fans holding different views but in the main we have always had a good relationship with their fans. And it’s the internet, where some people behave/speak very differently to how they would in...

Was that when we played 3 matches in 1985 with two of them at Maine Road? One of my earliest City memories with John Barnes running rings round us and as, a young child, sat on the front row of the Main Stand my fascination with looking through a tv camera not being used.

Sensational assist let’s hope this gives him the confidence to kick on. In a 70 match season he will get plenty of minutes if he takes his opportunities.
