Good to see the players thanking the fans for making the trip. Huddersfield come across to me as a family centred set-up. The club and the players understand the importance of a close bond to the fans.
Remember going to Southend years ago for the opening game of the season (when FDM got subbed at halftime) and they were making people take the tops of their bottles. When ask they said it was to stop people throwing them on the pitch. Kind of makes sense until just after the ticket barrier there...
While I would not buy one myself I can kind of see their appeal. Imagine you are a 10 y/o kid who has grown up watching the Albion be shit. This is the first time (outside cup games) we have played a top team, a team made up of players we could only dream about having play for us, and a team who...
Have to say I thought given the situation we did okay. With what City have spent this summer, you could build the Amex, build the training facility buy our squad and have change for Tony to have a flutter at the poker table. For large parts of the game they never looked like scoring despite...
Playing midweek from round 3 wouldn't be too much of an issue. However, I think the replays are important. For lower league teams the chance to go to a top prem team, get a draw and then bring them back to their ploughed field is part of the wonder of the cup. We all like watching a non-league...
I think the 'premium' is a direct result of the media coverage these days. Any good British player will be well known by fans. Even if they are playing in the Championship it is likely that they will have made the news in some way. The result of this is a) more clubs are aware and want them...
To be honest I have no real expectations. Twenty years ago we could only dream that one day we would be playing top flight football again. The years between losing the Goldstone and getting promotion to the premier league have been an amazing roller coaster of a ride. We are now in one of the...
I think this situation is different from other families going through the same. Everyone deals with grief in different ways and it appears that in this situation the family want to spread the word about the condition and raise awareness. He was a remarkable young man as I am sure hundreds of...
So by your reasoning, when selling tickets the club should ask us our religion and if we say Jehovah Witness, refuse to sell them to us because we are not liberal enough? Why stop there. Why not have a full character assessment done and only allow those that meet the 'correct' level of diversity...
Agreed. When I saw the reply of the crash, and then saw him being taken off the mountain in a neck brace I feared the worse. Sean Kelly was saying how amazing it is that back in his day they used to ride without helmets. Dread to think what condition Porte would be in had he not had his helmet on.
Feel for Porte. I get the impression that he is one of those riders that the majority of the peleton respect. He was instrumental in stopping Aru attacking when Froome had his mechanical and I honestly think that he was the only real rider that had a chance of beating Froome.
