Wembley 2000, the Barnsley fans started singing YNWA about 20-30 seconds from the end. Town fans started to join in but the whistle went almost immediately. Another 30 seconds and all of Wembley would have been united in singing it. |

That was a Supporters Club bash! This one is the club's annual Black Tie do, mostly aimed at sponsors & box holders. It isn't a cheap night out, but it cost quite a bit more last year. |

Sophie Peskett.
As for the men's team, it's a bit harder to pick, but Delap is my choice. He gave us many of our best moments. |

I have lived in Switz (v v expensive) and France, but travelled to almost every country in Europe.
Vienna is a decent shout - much less expensive that its reputation suggests, great local transport so you don't have to live centrally. Culturally vibrant. International, yet satisfyingly different, almost parochial at times.
Fabulous hub for getting around the region, with several countries a short train ride away.
Warning, like almost of central continental Europe, it can get very, very hot during heatwaves.
Other thoughts... depending on your hobbies / activities, 3 months is long enough to enjoy some serious leisure time and learn or improve a skill. Windsurfing or sailing? Hill-walking? (If winter an option, then I would personally go to Austria and ski!).
Don't overlook smaller or less fashionable places near big places: Annecy in France, Cannes on the Cote d'Azur. Montpellier is the absolute nuts, almost on the Med but with a huge student population that gives it amazing nightlife. Munich, like Vienna, has great local transport and ticks just about any box. Düsseldorf would see you amongst friends. The place you won't go to, but should consider, is beautiful, multilingual, multicultural Luxembourg... |

I think there'd be a Stewards' Enquiry if we were to lose it on GD next weekend!
Party at Felixstowe... tickets still available! |

Donkeys' years ago, well, 1996-2000, I had an Alfa GTV ( hard top). Beautiful car, great drive, no mechanical issues. Loved it, but sadly had to get sensible.
Once Alfa produce a modern version, I'm in. |

We will have the pick of the EFL, plus any aspiring but not-yet-there Pres striker, provided KMac stays.
Disappointing as the Delap deal appears, we could have had him on loan, with zero benefit at the end of the season. |

I met him at an ITFC Foundation Senior Blues Cafe about a year ago, and he was on good form for his advanced years. |

I'm enjoying a beer in a Bournemouth 'Spoons, dreaming of The Greatest Escape. Delap's goal surely the best of the season, barely 20 seconds from start to end, pure McKennaball. |

Friend is on Palmcroft, and it seems absolutely fine. Man in the Moon pub nearby. Little warning that traffic is only going to get worse & worse as the massive development between Henley & Westerfield Roads takes shape. But the new houses will make the established ones look huge & a bargain! |

Reply | alright chaps whats the Dove Street Inn like?
at 10:08 27 Mar 2025
It's a wet sales-led pub. Food menu is limited, but it is home-cooked and soaks up the ale very well.
It's the one place I'll drink Abbott these days, as it is served straight from the cask, and actually has flavour. Always a dark beer on, usually a mild too, plus various sensible options and often something 6%+. Decent keg range too, plus craft bottles & cans. |

To make you feel even worse, prize money in this new fake World Cup depends on where you're from, so European sides get a lot more than, say, African sides at each stage.
(UEFA competitions run similarly, large v small countries)... |

Obviously, the burnt-out substation has not been repaired in just a few hours. Nat Grid said there were 2 other substations able to provide power, (hence, airport reopened the next day)which suggests that the contingency planning / risk management processes were totally inadequate. |
