I find myself having to mock the whole concept of Big Club when the subject is raised. My response tends to be along the lines of "When do the Big Club awards get handed out?, Does your team have a parade?, Is there an end of season ceremony?, It all sounds quite lavish and we really, yes...

I counted you had 4

On a dry coach on the M40. 1 hour until we reach Uxbridge cricket club when you'll see me sup 8 pints in 2 hours, subject to the queue at the bar. 33 of us on Orrell SC bus.

Hi mate, I didn't wander down to the Old Town for the game. I ended up watching it near the strip. Rockline Sports Bar. It has a CR7 statue outside, yes, really!!! I wouldn't bother getting a taxi from the old town there though. When my son and I went to the final in Porto, the Mrs watched the...

Anyone in Albufeira now, and if so, where are you watching the game later?

In 238, the "young" lads in the 20 or so seats around us, have been in the same seats for the last 10 years. Most are late teens, and early 20s now, and, with a few sherbets inside them, certainly do their best to get chants going, compared to those years ago. The language is dreadful in the...

Great time had by me and my teen son. We flew back on the 2am Sports World flight - very quiet flight home. Met some cracking folk on the way out (especially the "chatty" football coach from Levenshulme and his 23yo son - names not known!). I hope the young girl sat in 41B that seemingly...

We took a break around noon and found a gorgeous little tapas place called Meson Champinons. The garlic and chorizo stuffed mushrooms were superb. It was 100 yards from the square and definitely worth a second visit.

They certainly look lit up from the 5th tier!

On the Sports World/Club Jet 2 flight? We fly out of T1 tomorrow, Manchester to Madrid. Can't wait for the 130am return flight, back home for 430am then in work.at 8am on Wednesday!

Anyone on the Sports World trip via the club received their flight tickets yet? Additionally, given we land around 1245pm local time, do the transfers take us to the ground immediately or somewhere else? I've not used this service before so keen to ask more. For example, can we leave stuff on...

I've burnt my holiday allowance at work so won't be d*cking about. Decided to fly in and straight out with the club for £360 including transfers. 1 day off work, land at 3am on Wednesday in Manchester. Start work at 8am!

You'll be fine mate

Still 587 tickets left for Madrid away, mainly in top tier (level 6) as at 230pm

Amen!

Ahead of my birthday (same day as Copenhagen away), my son and I pondered forking out the £329, 24 hour trip to Denmark, and paying a tenner a pint. We're now having 5 nights in Benidorm instead (fly out after Everton game, get back in time for Chelsea game). £66 for return flights. £25 a night...

Oh how I'll miss parking in Little Mariupol (Upper Helena Street) on dark, cold, rainy, weekday nights, then walking through deep wet puddles, before attempting the obstacle course through Ashton Canal Park (akin to the Total Wipeout course for the Burnley game), then over the tram tracks in...

My brother was doing the electrics at Mold Trafford around 20 years ago, when they last upgraded the exec boxes. The plastering firm were from Leeds and they all used to p*ss in the mix to plaster the walls. The first time the heating was switched on, the cat was out of the bag, so Utd had...

Just back from the November festival. Best 4 days of the year - yes, more fun, laughs and celebrations than Istanbul!

Best one ever pal. 4 days of partying. Already booked for 2024!
