Yes. I don't remember being told it was a restricted view seat I was buying - or that we would be sitting on wooden benches from the 1930's.

08:40 from Glasgow Central.

I normally stay in Sussex for the weekend for home games - so it's not just a round trip. But according to the club I travelled 14,000 miles last year.

Apologies - haven't read the whole thread. (Has anyone?) Why don't they just delay adding any new loyalty points to our accounts - by a few months or even till the end of the season. Loyalty should be a long term thing. We should be rewarding fans who have been following the club for years -...

This place was ok - http://www.goesser-bierklinik.at/ And Hotel Sacher for their cake.

Can someone explain why the tv contract for the above is worth silly money. Whilst all we get is £200,000 per game?

To me, what we should complaining about are the ridiculous differences in incomes between the 2 top leagues - in particular, the huge and on-going parachute payments for relegated clubs. Even if today's winner comes straight back down next season (and we don't go up), they will have a...

Assume we are travelling separately (coming from different directions.) Which pub are we meeting in - seem to remember quite a nice one near the Town Hall last time.

There are some really interesting themes in the book that never emerged on tv. There's one section where Tolstoy asks why history always focuses on the actions of a handful of emperors, kings, and generals. Whereas history really depends on the actions of everybody - the collective action of...

Thought it was ok - but a very contrived ending. No match for Le Carre.

This was in the Standard last month: What’s the one thing I should do while in Frankfurt, to make me feel like a local? Visit Sachsenhausen – renowned for its small stores, cosy restaurants, authentic apple wine bars and traditional beer breweries. I’ve got some down time during a busy day –...
