Yet another long distance journey. No other team has had the amount of long and tiring journeys this season we have faced. Who planned all this? Sack them. Not even Carlisle United have travelled so much. Exeter City have had some travelling to do but hundreds of kilometres less than BRFC. Charlton Athletic was 350+kms there and back. Ipswich Town was a 520+kms return trip. Pompey was 250+kms in total. Next comes the 540+kms trek to the Cambridge scholars. That is some distance in three short weeks. Really pleased that the Barnsley fixture was at home. Be very surprised if this weekend some weary bodies and tired legs are not evident. The points return and performances might have been better without the tour of the Southern motorways. What are kms? this is England we are out of the EU and we work in Miles What’s it got to do with the EU? No idea why we in the UK use a weird mashup of metric and imperial. It should all be metric, the far more logical and superior system. |

What are kms? this is England we are out of the EU and we work in Miles I wonder which way you voted🧐😂 Wanna broaden those horizons a bit, there’s a whole world beyond this teeny tiny Island This teeny tiny island that invented football and the reason why we are all here. |

Re Pubs. Last season I went to The Haymakers, 54 High Street, Cambridge as it seemed the nearest Good Beer Guide pub to the ground, although a 20 minute walk away. A good pint, pretty quiet from memory, and I think they sell cider.

I have no idea how many millipedes there are in a centigrade. |

Anyone remember a Jason Roberts wonder goal away at Cambridge in the early part of the century, maybe 2000 or 2001? I’ve tried to find footage online but so far drawn a blank

I’ve tried to find footage online but so far drawn a blank I remember going there at around that time and we won 3 - 0 can’t really remember who scored though far too much beer! All I remember is that we had Nick Culkin in goal! You know the one from home alone 👍 |

Just has a quick gander at Cambridge forum, one poster is a vile human being and been pulled up by it by another poster, how he can talk that way about Brown and Barton with the way he worded it is double standards, if you're reading this squeeze you're a horrible person.
