There was a bar, which I think was called "Spuds", just along from the Malt Kiln. Then it revamped to "Blue Riband".
I think "Spuds" had sand on the floor, as part of its theme......... |

My dates may be a bit out, but I seem to remember that for a few seasons after our '78 cup final victory, Arsenal would come into the West Stand 3 or 4 times a game (possibly from Churchmans). To be fair, the West Standers done well and more than stood their ground. |

Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of the time when we were on our way to an away game around the late 80's and it got postponed. Ended up at QPR v Luton or Watford ( my memory is shot).
Just after the final whistle, whilst "Life's what you make it" was blasting out on the tannoy, a mini riot took place in the left hand corner (as you look at the pitch in the away section), where the away and home fans managed to break through the cordon and attack each other. |

I enjoyed Civ 1 and loved Civ 2. Didn't like Civ3 and was unaware that 4,5,6 and now 7 exist! |

I'm crap with dates etc., but remember going to Oldham twice, quite quickly and getting stuffed 4-0 , or 4-1 both times. It was bloody freezing both trips and definitely snowing at one of them. At least one was a mid week evening kick off.
Bizarrely, I remember watching an Oldham ticket tout (God only knows why because the ground was half empty), approach the Ipswich directors outside the main stand, trying to sell them tickets. |

Yes, thinking about it, I think the throw ins from the full back areas are where I mostly noted the problem. |

It's strange how Kieran hasn't noticed this and done something about it. We work so hard to retrieve possession, it seems a travesty to give the ball away so often, so cheaply. |

We were exceptionally poor at throw ins on Saturday. There rarely seemed any players available and we frequently lost possession very quickly after our throw in. Hadn't really noticed it much in other games this season, but it really stood out against Forest. |

I only ever spoke to Kingy on 2 occasions, at the same match.
Me and my mate got a taxi from Belgrade to FC Sartid, with a random Town fan we had just met. The driver took us to the town centre (small), so I asked him to show us where the stadium was before dropping us back at a bar in town. This was about 4 hours prior to kick off. After half an hour or so, Kingy cam up to us with 3 other police (from memory they were all plain clothes) and said "all right lads, are you leaving shortly, because the grounds a long walk away?" I just nodded and they left.....it was 10/15 minute walk.
Halfway into the 2nd half, he approached me and my mate and said "How's it going?" We nodded and said "Good, great trip so far". He then went on to say " You're with the Clacton mob, aren't you?" We both just pi55ed ourselves laughing. We both lived in central Ipswich and just outside. From that day, we called them the Police Unintelligence Unit. |

I watched us getting beat in there several years ago, when I was in Paris to watch Rennes beat PSG in the cup final. Hope the Ipswich result is far better tomorrow. |

Been there a few times.
Once was for the Full Members Cup (or something similar) midweek semi final defeat.
One of the few grounds where I can remember a "National Front" flag regularly being displayed in the side stand near the away end. |

Exactly. Totally peed me off how he appeared to be poleaxed everytime anyone went anywhere near him. Poor Hutchinson couldn't believe a foul was given against on several occasions. |

Lagoon Beach will probably be too far out for you. Good for a day drip to get the iconic photos of Table Mountain, but not a lot going on nightlife wise.
Camps Bay is very picturesque and has a number of more upmarket / touristy bars and restaurants. Not too far to get to the centre of CPT by uber, going over Kloof Nek, near the Table Mountain Cable Car.
The apartment in the centre, by the cruise terminal would be the best option probably. From there you can walk to the Waterfront and the bars / restaurants in the city centre.
What does Lady L desire from a holiday? If it's great scenery in an upmarket villa / apartment then probably Camps Bay. If she wants to go shopping alone, with the chance to lie by a pool and have numerous safe bars and restaurants nearby, then The Waterfront. If she's happy to Walk 15 minutes to The Waterfront and 10 minutes to the City Centre and have a wide selection of bars, clubs and restaurants (and there are a good mix of upmarket, normal/touristy and more rough and ready), then the city apartment would work.
I'll pm you the details of where my wife and I stayed in The Waterfront. |
