    The Olympic flame came to my town today

    Great build up in Cambridge and Parker's Piece was busy but like a sodden Glastonbury field. Just missed Iwan Thomas with the torch due to littl'un struggling to stay awake but the flame is here! As for getting up to see the flame around Trinity College then punted on the Cam at 6.45? Not so...

    The Olympic flame came to my town today

    In Cambridge today and St Ives tomorrow morning so might go down there. Had the torch from 2012 and from 1948 in the classroom yesterday so the children are very excited. Once in a lifetime, enjoy it!

    Taken my boy for his first football training session

    The lovely Abergavenny. Many a football match played around there when I played for Pontypool Town. My boy was also born at Neville Hall, which unfortunately qualifies him for Welsh rugby shirt. His welsh mother has said that now he has the Albion colours she has carte blanche to get a red...

    Taken my boy for his first football training session

    My boy had his first training session last week - no other colours, Little Kickers shirts instead, just him in his Albion shirt. Hopefully he follows his dad's team!

    OMG guess who I saw in Dicks bar today???

    Agreed. I now feel like the generation who looked incredulously at me when I asked who Peter Ward was (to be fair I was only 10)

    OMG guess who I saw in Dicks bar today???

    Not through the usual match day entrance but the glass doors to the right and up the lift. Took my little boy non match day to get his first shirt and had a coffee there. No FDM, OGH or Ginger Prince though.

    Travelling from Suffolk/Cambs/Norfolk

    My problem too. Desperate to get a season ticket, on the waiting list but then realised that although I could afford the season ticket £36 or so a month, I couldn't afford the petrol or face the m11 and m25 23 times a year. Heartbraking phone call to ticket office yesterday when they asked if...

    Roy and national pride

    True, you can be proud of your country without singing the anthem but a lot of players chosen for England in the past don't give a toss anyway. I think it is a good idea - seems Roy is forging a TEAM spirit, if it means singing the anthem together then so be it. the England team has suffered...

    Poyet to Norwich is a no go!

    Which means he'll probably be off next week.

    Poyet to Norwich is a no go!

    Once he has got us in the Prem or just missed out a couple of years in a row then he'll be credible for a lower Prem team. With all due respect to Norwich, Swansea etc hasn't Gus stated he would only move to a 'big' team from us? Can understand that, look at the set-up we have here and the...

    Away Attendances 2011-12

    Leeds fan friend of mine reckons that Championship is hard for them due to the number of local derbies they have and all the local clubs who raise their game against Leeds. vast increase in away attendances for Leeds as a result. They also have a lot of season ticket holders so should be up...

    Away Days 2012-13

    Charlton, Watford, Millwall, Leicester, Wolves, Bolton, Barnsley, Burnley, Blackburn are all possible new grounds for me depending upon dates. All the northern ones can be combined with a trip to see the sister-in-law and the others are a reasonable distance from Cambridge. Peterborough is a...
