STEVIE B

One thing that l find amazing is that musicians make it look so easy, it looks so natural.......almost effortless. Practice & a passion for their art, l guess.

I think playing most musical instruments at a high level would be amazing.....guitar, piano, saxaphone. Personally the violin would be my choice.

I remember one game, l was sat at the back of one the stands & just watched Kante for about 5 mins. The amount of ground he covered was unreal, it was like having 12 players. Up there with our best ever signings.

Has anyone seen any of The Smiths tribute bands ? The Smyths seem to be highly rated. I was wondering if it’s worth seeing them ?

Local non-league has really taken off........it's more a case of, 'Those who aren't going to your local club, get down to Oxford!'

Off to Bergamo, Northern Italy on Tuesday. Never been, but a fella that l know has been 4 or 5 times, so it must be nice.

Most are probably risking life & limb by living in their homeland unfortunately.

Harborough's has increased, hence the £15. All clubs pay tax. Must be on revenue etc ?

Maybe. All about choices l guess. £15 is way OTT for Harborough, because of a tax increase apparently.

My partner's daughter is part of an advertising campaign for Vocation Brewery (based in Hebdon Bridge). She gets to bring a variety of IPAs, lagers & Stouts home. Most of it is really good. They have their own Tap Room in Halifax, which is very popular.

It costs £15 to watch Harborough Town, so it's not outrageously expensive for Serie A. In my eyes anyway.

Cheers. I used a similar service to watch Verona last season. Was all good. I know it's a slight risk, but hopefully no issues again.

They have details so name on tkts isn't an issue & I'm aware we need photo ID. And I'm also aware tkts aren't 'on sale' as of yet. This was was made clear. Reviews of StubHub seem very good. We'll see what happens.

I've just bought 2 tkts for the home game v Parma via StubHub, £60 each. I'm on holiday in Bergamo from the 16th-23rd, so works perfectly.

Has anybody used StubHub for buying tickets ? Prices look reasonable.

I'm in Bergamo in 2 weeks time. Cremonese are at home v Parma. Train is about 70 mins. Ground is small, 16k, getting tickets could be an issue. We'll see.

Definitely. My job has become less enjoyable too. I don't have a lavish lifestyle, enjoy travelling when l can. Obviously as we get older we slow down.

I've also just lost a friend to cancer, only last week in fact. This also contributed to my decision. You never know what's around the corner.

My financial situation has changed this year, due to the passing of my Mother, bless her. I've been working for the same company for 27 years & have decided to retire....this day is September 11th, so not far off now. I'll be nearly 60. I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. I do find it a bit daunting. It's exciting too, but the thought of it overwhelms me at times.

I actually think Ayew has a part to play this season, not as a No9 though. Did ok tonight.

I fancy another trip to southern Italy in the near future, starting in Sicily. It looks very nice. Would yoy recommend it ?

Harborough won 1-0 at Kettering.

It was directed to a Bristol City fan, who thought Maynard coming to us would be a sideways move. It was very funny from memory.

Wine Gums.

Doesn't sound good, but every club has it's morons, although racism is next level. Hopefully the culprits are dealt with. It sounded like Harborough deserved their win, they are usually solid & don't tend to concede many.
