    Makerfield By - Election. Burnham v Reform

    Fair enough but the leader (or in this case) a potential leader of a party would attract a higher % of the vote, kind of lifts the profile of an area. However, I wouldn’t follow that criteria as the MP who represents the constituency where I live is Angela Rayner. During last weeks elections...

    Makerfield By - Election. Burnham v Reform

    4/6 Labour and 5/4 Reform at the moment, think it will probably end up around 1/2 and 13/8, the others are out with the washing.

    Vehicle Registration Numbers

    I bought a Porsche Boxter a good few years ago but the prefix was “MU” so I had to put a personal plate on it. When I sold the car I took the private reg off and sold it but the DVLA gave me a completely different reg on the Boxter, think they would have sold the original reg for a few quid...

    Fear of Flying

    A comedian once said, and the figures won’t be correct but it’s artistic license: “The odds of a bomb on this plane are 100 million to one, the chances of two bombs being onboard is 20 billion to one, so when you fly take a bomb with you” Sane vein, it’s a statistical fact more people die in...

    Fear of Flying

    I flew into JFK in September 1999, we hit the back end of Hurricane Ffloyd, I can honestly say even the Airline staff were cacking it for a good hour, strapped in, no drinks service! My mate was soo frighted he had sweat rolling down his face, the turbulence was by far the worst I’ve ever...

    I’ve never read the Daily Mail in my life and I know of many lazy and untalented Civil Servants and Local Government Officers who have no imagination or worthwhile ideas, just T crossers and I dotters. I don’t doubt there’s some decent ones, not even arsed you’re blowing your own trumpet...

    Season Card taken away after 50 years!

    My mate who sits next to me in CB L2 had a stroke seven weeks ago. He didn’t have any way to pass onto non members as he’d not set the facility up for another of our friends. I rang City, explained it, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Also, during the season we’ve had a couple of tickets...

    Season Card taken away after 50 years!

    When the upper tier of the South Stand opened the tickets were around £280. It was noticeable that for the big games it was full but lesser games not so much. I said at the time at that price some supporters were probably just attending a few big games and weren’t arsed about the others, if...

    “Brilliant Civil Servants” that’s debatable for a large percentage of them.

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    Now this could be absolute bollocks but I’ve been told it’s a stick on that Pep is leaving at the end of the season, primarily for family reasons, if he does I’ll be gutted, be a really bad day but Pep has earned the right to determine his future. I really hope it’s bollocks but the rumour has...

    Referees' Performances | 2025/26

    Your last sentence is the only metric here, it has to be blatantly obvious a mistake has been made, due to the number of times they had to look at it they should not overrule the on field decision.

    City V Chelsea - FA Cup Final - On TNT Sports From 9am :-)

    Jumpers for goal posts, Frank Bough doing a couple of lines in his best cardy then off to shag some brass after the broadcast had finished, those were the days, no romance anymore.

    City V Chelsea - FA Cup Final - On TNT Sports From 9am :-)

    Was house burgled around mid 80’s, nicked £80 in cash and my Betamax recorder that I’d paid over £300 for, just moved in my house and not sorted the insurance, big lesson learnt. Bet the burglars got just enough for a day’s crack or heroin, gutted, had the Gremlins movie tape ready to watch...

    VAR Discussion Thread

    Neil Swarbrick (4th ref in our match v QPR in 2012) was instrumental in the running of VAR and training referee’s going back a few years ago. He gave up his job at BAE Systems in Salmesbury to take the role. He said, VAR would only intervene when a clear and obvious mistake happens. He also...

    I reckon you’d call someone a cock to their face if they were smaller and less intimidating.

    Brilliant, just nicked that and sent to our City group.

    Joke thread

    My mate’s grandson had just won a trophy with Curzon Aston under 14’s, he sent me a photo, take a look at the expanded one on the left hand side, it’s bizarre, don’t know if it was done on purpose!
