In the same job I mentioned earlier I was living in Yarmouth working for Atlas Wireline Services and was also a season ticket holder. I went to all games home and away. For mid week games I would sneek out and go off to the footie. After returning from Bristol City on a Tuesday (300 miles there and back) my brother told me that my boss called and wanted to know where I was. My brother had told him "he is half down the A47 by now"!!! Oh shit I thought. I got to work early a few hours later and went straight to his office. To my surprise my boss said he did not mind me bunking off as long as I told him before I left. I stayed with them for 6 years. Mike Grammar, you are a legend!!!

In the 90s I worked as an image analyst for an offshore exploration company. It was my job to retrieve, process and analyse images from boreholes relating to geological formations and makeup. I also had to ensure that the image was rotated according to magnetic north. I did the job, ran off the prints complete with direction tadpoles indicating fractures,, holes etc and sent them off to Maersk. A short while later my boss (a nuclear physicist) had the prints rolled out in the conference room with a puzzled look on his face. I explained the processes that I had done to do this job. He looked at me and said that he pre rotated the borehole images before I got them. This meant that Maersk were spending millions looking in the wrong direction. His last words on the matter were that we should keep this to ourselves.

i only need 7 more clubs to complete the national league having done the 92 2 years ago. Off to sweden in October / November to see the Vasa and maybe AIK. Returning to the Uk on a mixture of sleepers and ferry.

A muted cheer from Man city fans on winning a semi-final!

In what way?

I must have blinked and missed them.

nice

The difference between the two sets of fans says all you need to know about Man City. Dull, uninspired, entitled, and expectant. Scum fans making all the noise, waving flags and well up for it. The other lot sitting there like they are at a theatre.

Try getting an away ticket today. Virtually impossible. The points system ensures that the same group always get the tickets. Do this over a number of years and the age demographic inevitably gets older. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5695685/2024/08/14/the-premier-leagues-age-timebomb-high-prices-and-low-supply-are-keeping-out-young-fans/

I agree because playing in a 3 sided ground that was an embarrassment in front of 9000 in the second division was SOOOOO much better than now.

i will up that to a kidney and a lung. Seriously if anyone does have a spare please dm me.

How?????? Our greatest ever players last home game. If the club did nothing you would still complain,

In the mid 80s I was a student and my neighbour was head of security at Filbert street. He used to let me sneek in through the old main stand. Considering we were only getting around 7000 I would have several rows of seats all to my self. I had to shout if I wanted to speak to the nearest person.

When the going gets tough, the tough sort of run away!

Absolutely shocking. Very poor indeed. Its "shittier"!!!! Do better
