There’s nothing longer than 4 carriages (and most are three) going through Falmer at the moment and they rarely lay-on extra carriages after the start of the day (maybe @jackalbion could say whether any additional coaches are ever put on within a day), so getting home after an evening game will...

Yup, I was there in Burnley. I had a 5% local ale at £2.63 a pint.

The coldest people today will be the young ladies I saw on Preston station, getting the train to Aintree dressed in not much at all.

It’s frighteningly cold here, with a wind that’d cut through steel.

I could be wrong here, but in my experience if you buy hospitality you tend to be put into either a specific corralled area of the East (top of the lower) or in amongst the 1901 West Middle where they’re used to away supporters (who are allowed). I don’t think hospitality customers are ever put...

But they’ve put on a load of long trains going through Falmer today apart from one four-carriage set on the Ore route.

Yup, my Dad told me and my brothers not to listen to it or we’d be arrested. In Seaford we got better reception from Radio London (same system: boat in the Thames estuary). The BBC were so late catching-up, with minimal transmission of pop music on the Light programme. While we’re at it, you...

I wish everyone would shut-up about Lisbon and thereby stop it becoming the next Prague. But, OK then, I’ll chip-in. What I love most is the cityscape. Hills and contours make a city and you have that everywhere in Lisbon with winding steps, public lifts, and funicular railways. In parts the...

Leave him alone.

I wouldn’t want to get through that defensive line.

From the picture you can see some delays but there are some (but there still could be more) nice, long trains on the tracks today.

Around this time of year we get claims that our points rally should be enough to keep us up. I hope my stats are right, but since there have been 20 teams in the league the range of points achieved by the 17th team is 34-42. We’re on 35 so near the bottom end of that range.

I left at full time and did a brisk walk (ten minutes) to Northumberland Park station. I walked straight onto the platform and onto a train that went to Liverpool Street with only one stop. I wish the Amex were that easy.

I rather like mickey-taking in football: it helps all of us take the game less seriously. Maddison is fairly good at it himself. I recall him taking a corner at the Amex in front of the North Stand purposely placing the ball outside the quadrant. The North Stand predictably went apoplectic and...

I’m going to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time. I’m travelling by train up from Sussex. What’s the best public transport option from which mainline rail station, please? I’m happy to walk reasonable distances if it makes life easier with fewer queues. Thanks.
