Fond memories of Lincoln.Not only the very special win there but was stationed at nearby RAF Swinderby in the 70's.Later ran the line there v Bournemouth whose manager,David Webb, blew a gasket at the ref after the game.

Stewarding at the Mem is a joke, mostly young people who appear to be there to satisfy the requirements of the safety regulations rather than work for the comfort and safety of the fans. When I get the usual email asking for feedback from the last home game I make the same comments, namely that nothing is ever done to prevent the amount of smoking and vaping that goes on in the Thatchers which is not only unhealthy but illegal. It's obvious from the great clouds of smoke what's going on yet stewards continue to stare into space as though they don't notice. Who provides them with their briefing pre match - if they have such a thing? If you say anything to the people concerned no matter how polite all you get is a load of abuse. Worst was at Vale.In a class of their own were the stewards at Wolves in the early round of the league cup.Older,ex military I suspect and as soon as one of the Ray Winstone look alikes tried it on ,out he went. At Vale they roped half the away end off and some stewards were non English speaking.As an ex Staffs Police cop I gave evidence at the enquiry into the disturbance which was well received but they still roped half the away end on our next visit!!! Re the football,Joe Partington's best game by far for us was at Wolves.Dom Telford did ok too.

With the ages of Sinclair and Martin and the almost total lack of goals from Marquis or Brown, we will need a major overhaul up front.Coupled with the glaring lack of speed,I would be very concerned if we don't have a major re vamp.Not sure what length of contracts these guys are on but no doubt MT is on the case.

We will win on Tuesday.Fleetwood had a red card today and would hope we will be too good for them .Our lack of pace and lack of scoring options if CM is kept quiet are a worry but confident we'll do well.Port Vale were awful today so reckon the points are up for grabs in coming games.

Assume Sinclair injured but I like this. A little tougher in midfield dropping Brown for Finley and pushing Evans up I guess. UTG Sinclair starts!!!!!!!

in our Charity shop in Sidmouth we had a Glaswegian with the most difficult accent the ladies on the till had ever encountered.They rang for assistance and I spoke to him but it was so extreme I asked him to spell certain words.It was still very difficult to understand so I asked ,'is that 'A' or 'E'? He replied ,'E' as in Apple. True story so I put on my broadest Bristolian accent and we had a gert laugh.

So chuffed that after a million years ago when we built the North Stand at Eastville,we are actually talking about real stadium improvements after a lifetime of waiting.'Be Patient' they told us at a 1961 Open Day.We certainly have whilst 95% of other clubs have just got on with it.

Always way out front in the annual fitness test at Lillishall. I'm getting confused CG (nothing new there). It was Jarnail Singh that would always stop for a beer. He was a dismal ref and a lovely bloke. Gurnham (unrelated), I never met, but did see him smile at the song. 😁 Gurnam always put me to shame at the annual fitness test but got embroiled in taking the FA to court.

I too have been 'Toppered'.Told me to find another club nearer to where I live. Beer Albion massive. Eff off to Budleigh Salterton FC? 😎⚽️ Quote down here is;'When you reach 90 you can move to Sidmouth and your parents can go to Budleigh Salterton'.

And as for ‘we’ve got our Rovers back’….. Even when I was freezing my ***** off at Nuneaton 9 years ago I never thought I didn’t have Rovers. -------
Now that was cold and thought the fog might ruin our day as we stood on the freezing stainless steel terraces.Best Ref I saw in the Conference.
