    When Is The Draw For Round 4 ?

    I know we will be no 3 in the draw assuming we win but when is the draw for the next round? I have looked at next week's TV Times but there is no hint. I will actually be on a beach in Goa - eating a curry, or both maybe, on the day of the next round so I really hope we don't pull out a...

    Bad News On Saturday's Ref

    It's Lee Probert who is the clown who did the home game against Sheffield United this season and contrived to book either 9 or 10 players - including both goalkeepers. Given that we have a number of players on 3 bookings and McShane on 8, we will probably have more near term suspensions...

    Message for Nickgeo

    If this is your local game, whereabouts are you in this area? I work in Leicester during the week so it's a great midweek fixture for me too.

    Leicester Away Is

    Pay on the day. Spoke to the club shop today to confirm this and they have only sold around 200 tickets apparently. Mate of mine at work ( I work very near Leicester during the week ) is a Wolves fan and, at last week's midweek home game against Millwall, there were only 76 Millwall fans ! bet...

    Referee For Preston Away Is....

    Fatso Phil Prosser....groan. Expect another completely inadequate performance with a mix of dodgy penalties and at least one red card. The guy is a total clown. First time he's reffed us since that controversy at the Withdean a couple of years ago.

    Grim News About Saturday's Referee

    I know I caan get a bit wound up about refs ( Prosser, D'Urso etc ) but it looks like we've got a shocker on Saturday. It's a guy called Fred Graham and it's his first season on the FL list. Furthermore, every game he's done so far has been in Divs 1 and 2. Check him out on the google screen '...

    Brighton Fans In The Leicester Area

    I know from The Full Harris's posting earlier tonight about the snow that there are some Brighton fans in this area. I live in Countesthorpe from Sunday night until Friday afternoon ( work for the Alliance & Leicester ) and migrate back to Haywards Heath over the weekend. If any Seagulls fans...

    Highlights of yesterday for me were as follows...

    And in no particular order 1. Fabulous degree of camaraderie between Brighton fans on the train, in the ground, in O'Neills pub in Newcastle. 2. Probably the best football stadium I've been to in this country ( apart from the Millenium Stadium, but that's in Wales ). 3. The friendliness of...

    Trains From Haywards Heath On Saturday

    Apologies if this has already been on but it looks like bus service only to the Withdean on Saturday...er, no thanks.

    This is what was lacking at Crewe yesterday

    Just got back to Leicester after staying with my brother in Shrewsbury after the game. Have read all the postings about dodgy ref, Kuipers positioning , missed chances etc but the one main thing we lacked yesterday - certainly compared to the Notts Forest and Leicester games - was commitment...

    Massage Possibilities In Bucharest

    I went to Bucharest with my boss on Sunday for a quick business trip ( came back last night ). As we passed through arrivals, there was a girl ( probably from the Tourist Authority although she did have an incredibly short skirt on ) handing out a booklet entitled "Bucharest, Cream of the Crop"...

    I sit in the North Stand - behind the lino and

    I have not seen the goals yet but I will wager - big time - that Furlong was clearly offsdie when he received his pass and there was a QPR player offisde bang in the middle of the goal area in the lead up to the winning goal. We all saw it...why didn't he? I don't mind losing but not in these...

    Fox Hunting Ban - Am I Missing Something?

    I personally couldn't give a toss if fox hunting is banned and, to be frank, if I never again see any of those ridiculous people on tv ,dressed up with black top hats, stupid bright red jackets blowing horns and sipping sherry/port/or whatever they drink before a hunt starts, then bothered...

    Discounted tickets for the Leicester game

    I work for the Alliance & Leicester bank in Leicester and tomorrow morning between they are selling tickets for the corporate stand for 5 quid. This has happened on occasions before and is indicative of expectations of a poxy crowd ( on Sky, Bank Holiday, early kick off ). I wish I had waited...

    One of the main differences from last season is...

    The quality of some of the goals on show. Check out the Championship highlights at 10.30 am on ITV for Harper's goal against the Blades - as clinical a strike as the one he scored against us. Although given a lot of space yesterday, Hughes' strike for Coventry was instant, crisp and gave...

    This Saturday's Ref - More Bad News

    After last night's debacle, the ref this Saturday is a certain Phil Joslin. If my memory serves me correctly, he did the QPR league game or the LDV game away last season when Leon was getting battered senseless ( and booked for getting battered in the goalmouth off the ball ). He completely...

    Message For Artois

    That picture of the pub you went to in Reading...I can't make out the name as it's covered by foliage. What's it called and is it near the town centre?

    Pubs In Reading That Will Allow Wearing Of Footy Shirts

    I know there have been loads of various threads on this subject, but I still haven't seen anyone naming pubs in Reading that Albion fans will be allowed to enter with a degree of safety etc. I know the Boardwalk is closed ( great shame ) but can someone advise on prospective venues please...

    Are We Having An NSC Summer Meet ?

    Apologies if this has been covered already and I know we had one not so long ago, but I would say a meet on Saturday, 31st July would be a great curtain raiser to the season starting the following weekend. How about aanother session at the Standard?
