Must be the return leg from when we played them during pre season tour a few years ago. GP manager at the time. About a dozen Albion supporters there as I recall.

Some really revealing posts on this thread. Thanks all for sharing. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years. Had a great career and achieved a lot. Worked with a fantastic team of colleagues who remain good friends although I retired a couple of years ago. Last 8 years of work...

I was the project manager for the Lea Valley Olympic Course and was one of the first to test it in a raft. Great fun but, expect to fall in. All the water is filtered so don’t worry if you drink some! Before the course was built, went on study trips to see courses in Holland, Germany, Spain...

Agree with others. So long as we have an owner who is a fan, don’t think fan representation is necessary. The Club would not welcome this (as they blocked DK selling his shares to fans). Some sort of regular fans consultation would be a good idea but, as this forum shows, there are as many views...

He is also very anti the continuation of COVID restrictions yet he is needle phobic so hasn’t had the vaccine!

Nature and/or Nurture Are some of us born with a susceptibility to poor mental health and what part is played by the shit that just happens to us? I have lived in fear of an acute episode since my dad took his life 30 years ago. I have always tried to remember that I have genes from both of my...

A great idea but HEATED! Will cost a fortune to heat. Hope they are going to use renewable energy.

Thanks for the links. For reference I have added them to the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/318205256317320/?ref=share

Reflections on that Meghan interview I am a lifelong republican and do not read the tabloids but, watched the interview to see what all the fuss was about and what part mental health played in the saga. The stigma and self stigma around mental health is sadly a major issue in the Firm. We have...

One of the cruelest aspects of mental health conditions is the feeling that you are the only one to feel that way. It is clear from this thread alone that people experience mental health conditions in different ways but, we are in this together. It took me decades to understand why I saw the...

This has been a very positive thread. Thanks to all who have contributed. NSC at its best. The majority of posts on this thread appear to be from people of a ‘certain age’ which perhaps reflects the NSC demographic. As we get older and maybe have less at stake it is a little easier to be open...

Except in the North Stand when we persistently stand.

I also found in my career that having what is regarded as a disability was an advantage. When others were obsessed with sticking to the ‘usual project management process’, I would be saying what do we need to do to deliver the project quickly and efficiently for the client. Or perhaps that was...

Thanks for sharing such an honest and revealing post. I talk about my mental health perhaps a bit too much but, I think it makes it OK for others to share their experiences. I have gone through periods when OCD would really get in the way of my everyday life. It was only once I was coming to the...

Agreed talking is not going to help everyone who suffers with their mental health. I have realised what helps me through trial and error. Have had anti depressants and talking therapies but, have found mental health courses where you can learn how to cope by sharing experiences with others to be...

After 2 years of retirement I think I am finally getting the hang of it. Spend a lot of time cycling which is great for lifting the mood. Have also got involved with NHS mental health trust and a university using my lived experience of mental health to help improve services. I find this gives me...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have met many people with learning disabilities who also suffer poor mental health. It is particularly difficult for young people who struggle to conform to the norms expected by school and society. Being ‘different’ and not seeing the world as others do can...

Thanks Cheshire Cat. I read that thread but, it does not come over as very positive. If there are others like me, who would like to share positive experiences of mental health recovery to support others in this community together with their friends and family, please reply. Any ideas on how...

Thanks for your responses. It’s good to talk. Due to the stigma which still surrounds mental health conditions, It can be difficult to seek help. I have only been open about my depression since I retired. Arranging an appointment with your GP to discuss mental health is a difficult step...
