Nikon, Canon, Canon, Nikon? Good to see the top cameras are being recommended. Once you enter a system (Nikon or Canon) that's where you'll stay as the lenses and flash units only fit that type of camera. Best to go down to a camera shop and have a go with both a Nikon and a Canon yourself...
I'm about to set off from Abu Dhabi for this one - if it makes the distance from Sussex to Teeside any the less of a challenge for those travelling up! Staying at the Premier Inn on the Quay. The last time I was at Hartlepool in the 2007/8 season, Bas Savage's late late late strike won it for...
A sad day indeed! I remember changing schools from a boarding school in Kent to a Secondary in Brighton so I could get to the games because we'd signed him! First game against Barrow drew 20k+, and the Barrow team flew down (unheard of in those days) on the cut they would get from the gate...

I was up there in the sunshine at the start of the season - the weather is a bit different. But not for me - here in the UAE! We seem to be taking it to them! Come on you Seagulls!
