I ran it for the first time last year; what an event; the best marathon I’ve run by some distance. Good luck to everyone this year.

Arcade Fire playing at Brixton Academy in July - Thursday 4th & Friday 5th July. Just got a Friday Stalls ticket.

Another vote for Codex as most underrated. Best band I’ve seen live and In Rainbows my favourite album. I quite like Radiohead.

I can see why the Wolves goal was ruled out. Subjective, but Fabianski would have much preferred someone not on his toes. If you want to pin the keeper from an offside position then you run the risk. O’Neill shouldn’t complain.

I’d advocate taking potential first time fans to county league games to see what their attention span is. Granted this doesn’t help the thread starter, but I’d only want to take someone who has the ability to watch the game without bribes or distractions.

Personally I’d want to be a bit further ahead of the pacer, as maintaining or speeding up in the final stages of a marathon is tough. Maybe bank some time but discipline yourself to run 7:55’s. Good luck.

The new Libertines album is very good. Reminds me a lot of some of Blur’s more recent output. Some great songwriting and very well produced.

Thats accurate - I’m not sure the running down his contract part is though. He had several injuries and fell out of favour with Adams. He was always going to make way for the summer signings, especially after we signed Zamora on loan mid season, and Hart & Freeman moved out wide.

So you didn’t go to Priestfield then?

I think you must be mixing him up. Adams released him at the end of the 99/00 season. He wasn’t really an Adams type of player, and got moved out. Before that he made some of the Priestfield trips half bearable.

I recall Steve Gritt signed someone with the surname Martin in the great escape year. Signed on the basis of being a good influence in the dressing room. I think he made one appearance was absolutely terrible and stayed in the dressing room until he returned back. Might have been Dave Martin?

Frank Stapleton home to Bradford midweek from memory - He was shocking.

Clive Walker

I’m pretty sure Bryan McKenna played one game in goal, conceding four at home to Middlesbrough in the 90/91 season.
