Ah, very good! What made it worse was the drinks were so awful we didn’t finish them. We decided to have one more before getting the train, and guess whose round it was!

Although they recently announced they have bought the stadium off the previous owner and announced plans to increase capacity to 20,000.

Bought three pints from a backpack seller on Saturday. Will not make that mistake again ….. ever. Flat and horrible. Awful.

Yep same happened to me a few years ago playing sport. The initial pain was excruciating.

Indeed, but if Hamburg and Koln are promoted next season then the German league will be top again

I haven’t got a clue

Not quite although probably the largest for a league game. They had 3770 in attendance against Oxford Utd in the 1st round of the FA Cup in 2005.

The play off system is being scrapped from the 26/27 season. It will expand to an 18 team league and run in a traditional format.

10 games, each play one another home and away. Fixtures were announced earlier today. I read they are dispensing with this end of season format in a couple of years. The league will expand to 18 teams and run to a traditional format.

Would not accept payment of credit card last night, but was okay today.

The Fugazi rhythm section Joe Lally and Brendan Canty have a band called the Messthetics with an amazing guitarist. I saw them a few years ago at the Hope and Ruin.

You’d think it will be considered as capital expenditure and therefore depreciated over the expected life of the building.

Cup game is Sat 8th Feb, league game on the 14th has a better chance of a resale

Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin for me. All old school. Not a fan but Whitney Houston was outstanding. Great list.
