I’m looking forward to having to find some other slots in the game to go to the toilet other than when we win corners.

Reeves, quite rightly, has been banging on about growth being the answer to our public finance issues, so I can’t imagine she’d be too happy with the idea.

Great. I walked past the Lion Bar this afternoon when it was still shut and it’s good to hear it has screens. I’ll give it a try. You’re the first to name a specific bar, for which I’m grateful.

I’m in Malmo for a couple of days (Ooh, look at me). I know Sweden isn’t going to get over-excited about the Euros but I’m struggling to find a bar showing any game this evening. Any NSCers with any advice? Thanks.

I’m Inter-railing around Europe at the moment and spent a few days in Vilnius. The Museum of Occupations and Freedom is serious and educational and I’m sure they’d help you out if asked nicely. I’d never realised that there was a resistance movement against the Soviets after the war (up until...

Rounding-up at a poundshop isn’t exactly going to collect much.

I was horrified by this post of yours that they’re now discontinued. Are they allowed to do something as dramatic as that during an election campaign? Anyway, I’d noticed a month or so back that Tesco Eastbourne no longer has them (replaced by ghastly Katsick Curry flavour) but retrieved some...

Hop on the ferry in Newhaven without a car and spend a couple of nights in Dieppe which most people drive straight through heading elsewhere. You have none of the hassle at airports and can do day trips on the train from Dieppe.

The 701 has just started service. I just love the idea of new services, but I just don’t get it. It goes hourly from Brighton to Eastbourne (shame we’ve not got a service that already does that) but decides to go via Falmer, Lewes (bypass), Beddingham (but doesn’t stop there), Newhaven, and then...

What a great weekend away (and I’m still here). I wore my colours all day in the city centre with not a murmur from anyone, except from weirdos in mufti who whispered “sea-siders” to me as they walked by. Dunno why they were in disguise. Nattered to various Geordies in various Spoons. The...

I thought it brave to take off Enciso when they did (he was by far our best player): maybe the management is learning about preventing injuries.

I was there, and they were on to us from the moment we scored for time-wasting. I don’t like us doing it, but while all the other teams do it, and aren’t penalised, we have to do the same. Bart is becoming an expert at it.

I wasn’t able to do my “lucky” short-cut through a muddy gap between the fence and and a column when coming off the west-bound railway platform, because they’ve put a temporary fence there. So it was me that really swung it.

Instead of the usual people next to me I had some newbies, one of whom clearly, by all his shouting, knew more about football than RDZ. Every time we had the ball he knew exactly the pass that should have been made even if didn’t have a clue who the players were, with comments like “pass it to...

So all we need today is for Bart to run out for a ball that Dunk is about to chest back to him, and then them to clatter together in a horrifying mixture of gore, blood and exposed bones and you’d have a full Crocks Eleven?

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...
