Try this website, it's fascinating. Type in your surname and it shows where in 1881 and 1998 that surname was common in the UK:

Cracking it looks massive. In my heart of hearts it must be bigger than our west stand, but if it is only just i'll be delighted.
Will the tv cameras be in the east stand btw?
Just watched the man city v arsenal game, all very nice but the real question as fas as i\m concerned is:
Hpw does our west stand compare to the big man city stand opposite the camera? Pbviosuly their stadium is bigger than ours but it is double decker for the other 3 - so is our west stand the...
I asked my mate who is a Torquay fan about Poke and his description of him was 'fantastic' and 'far too good for league 2'. Considering my mate is not renowned for mincing his words, I think we can be confident we have a pretty decent keeper on our hands.
A lot of talk about it at the moment on the cricket. Having been to Old Trafford several times it always struck me as a rather big but bland ground and has been left behind by developments at other test grounds such as Trent Bridge and The Oval.
Well they've certainly tried to do something...
Ha ha, maybe not all of them but maybe just the concept of supporting your local team should just hold a little bit of credit over supporting a 'big' team.
Me?
I hate Palace/Pompey/Southampton
but I hate plastic fans MUCH more
you have to ask the question:
what sort of fan are you:
someone who support someone like Pompey/Palace/Southampton?
a fan of Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea/West Ham
who do you REALLY hate more?
Ha ha you have to laugh at all the muppets who can't wait to jump on a couple of poor results.
Question:
Are we a better or worse team since Forster stopped playing?
(To all those answering worse, please note that whoever we have in the team we won't win every game we play - I apologise for...
Was ready to leap to the defence of Pompey till I saw the picture..
...but
what the hell here goes anyway...
...even though they and Palace are our aupposed sworn enemies, I have far more repect for them than fans of the London clubs - how many glory fans of London clubs will you see on a...
With our supposedly big transfer budget next season, finding a proven goalscorer at this level is going to be key, but probably not as easy as it sounds (unless we have really big money).
Having been to the match tonight, think we could do a lot worse than Simeon Jackson - was very impressed...
It's not the fact suggesting that we are better than our league position that will get us relegated, it is entirely down to our home form - and yes if that doesn't improve we are nailed on to go down. I think we are capable of improving the home form and our away record suggests that the players...
Ok, yeah I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course that is part of the game, but I'm sure you'd agree that the quality of opinions from such people who have no experience of football/coaching at a decent level (myself included) will range massively from well thought out...
Disagree - Poyet has been very vocal in talking up two players who have at times been severely criticised on NSC - Navarro and El-Abd. Why do you think that was? I have no idea whether Poyet himself logs on, I suspect not, but he is obviously aware of fans thoughts, whether through listening to...
Agreed, he should definitely get another year and would be very surprised if he wasn't offered this, but, the problem appears to be:
- Is 1 year enough from his point of view?
- He wants a deal now, the club want to wait till later in the season.
Whing - Tries hard, tackles well, poor in possession - Poyet, with a premiership background is likely to want full backs who can defend and are competent in possession, hence Calderon who so far looks a promising signing.
McNulty - Yes he is great going forward, look at all the NSC comments...
Looking through these posts, I think people are missing the key points. Forster clearly is a bright bloke and at his age, with a family, must be thinking seriously about what the future holds. I think it is fair to assume that he is likely to be thinking about this earlier than many other...
Sitting in the car a bit bored now but a quality day! Not sure how to leave line break but here goes... Kuipers: some good saves but didn't help team with a nervous first few mins 6... Calderon: like him, defended well, generally calm and comfortable on the ball 7... Virgo: man of match, strong...
