loved Maine Rd in the 70's before they started putting stands in that didnt fit in with the rest of the stands. But it will always have a special place in my heart as it was a ground all the family went to, starting with my grandparents in the 30's who then took their son(my Dad) and so on. It...

foreign players are technically more gifted than english players it seems.Why? They play Futsal which teaches them how to caress the ball,not treat it like a hot potato. Futsal is light years ahead of us in places like Portugal and where someone like Robinho learnt his trade.

Good meeting last week with Gary Owen and Kevin Parker. Next meeting still on for 25th July Alberto?

Tony had a great team in the late 70;s only to be dismantled.Treated very unfairly.

i personally think Fred Eyre is a top broadcaster,very dry wit.

used to be 25p for kids in the kippax and 30p in the platt lane around 1969.I remember one game the platt lane was full and the turnstiles closed so went in the kippax.Couldnt see a thing being a kid! S/T in the kippax in 1981 were £25.I bought 8 years S/T costing £200 AND at the end of the 8...

Re: 'The Man Who Restored Pride' - new book on the Mancini years good luck with the book Dave.Bought your last book 'Typical City' at your quiz at Ashton not too long ago.I am doing a quiz later this month at Fallowfield SC so should be good.As for making money,I doubt whether it will bring...

hi tommy.good luck with the venture.Alas 52 now so past it but used to model my game on John Robertson of Forest.left winger but mainly right footed,so now stick to refereeing.I take it the lads know all the laws of the game? Worth knowing really.

so technically your Dad has been alive for ALL Citys title winning seasons.Not many left who have seen that!

my 2nd car was a Daihatsu Charmant,good car it was.

how can it still bring a tear to your eye watching that? Just filled up again,dont know whether its the thought Dad died the year before or what,but if we never win the league again,that day will live forever.

will always be a favourite keeper of mine due to his top performances at so young an age.His first game was v the reggae boyz of course in 1998 before they went to the World Cup at Maine Rd.A guy behind said at the time at last we now have a decent keeper.He was right as in that game you could...

try watchdog with Anne Robinson!

at the taste testing session I mentioned previous,when asked about the prices,we were told its in line with other places......for example the airport,cinema,service stations! I gave up when then they said. Course they can compare with those places,because they are just a total rip off too,esp...

Re: Food & Drink Prices went to one of those taste testing sessions at the ground a while back.Apparently those there were the most disullussioned about the catering etc.We had a sample of each item,hot dog,pie etc.The feedback we all gave them was not the quality,more the price which they were...

I remember Ron Healey playing in 71 v Chelsea in the semi final of the ECWC due to Corrigan being injured.Another keeper who seemed so small.

in 1972 Malcolm Allison wanted our home shirt to be white with a red/blue sash! This was to be our away colours however and Allison went to Palace where they changed to the same shirt(white with red/blue sash).

he referees in local football as well,Houg End etc.Heard hes not too good at that.
