Re: Parkinson's disease

My wife has early onset PD, diagnosed aged 36. At first it was well managed by the drugs, but all they do is mask symptoms, it continues to progress. Now nearly ten years on, more drugs are required to manage it not so well. Many aspects of life are affected including mobility and this can vary from...

Re: Southend United

I lived in Southend when they were in the Championship. They were doing better than we were for sure. The story I heard was that Dave Webb went to see Ron Martin, who was and still is the chairman. He asked for funds to get the team over the line into the PL and was refused on the grounds that they ...

Re: 2022/23: Queens Park Rangers v Burnley – Ticket Information

I quite like going to Loftus Road. Looking forward to it. Seats a bit cramped but always enjoy it there, usually a good atmosphere. Don't think I've ever seen us lose there, particularly remember the Andrew Cole hat-trick

Re: A338 to Bournemouth

You can come off at ringwood, and it is a straight road to Christchurch, then along barrack road following Bournemouth and boscombe, where you can walk to the ground at kings park. Alternatively catch a train from Christchurch to pokesdown , which is one stop away, and walk from there about 10 to 1...

Re: A338 to Bournemouth

We get a lot of dead ponies and cows with people ignoring the s...

Re: A338 to Bournemouth

Don't try taking A35 off the M27. Being Easter you will be stuck in a queue at Lyndhurst for ages. Going into Bournemouth from the east on Saturday is grim. A338 is a no go zone. Best off getting the train to Pokesdown and walk.

If Liverpool had any sense they would sign Tarks and VanDyck.
Not if you had seen VanDyke at Southampton when Vokes and Barnes came on. He really didn't want to get stuck in.

Barnsley. We have just had Virgin Media cables laid in our town. Had a Virgin salesman in who swore his mate from school was on loan at Burnley in the past. I was sure I didn't recognise the name but went along with him. Looked it up after he'd gone, sure enough he was on loan at Barnsley...

From BBC Burnley report:

"Oumar Niasse, who scored two goals as a substitute against Bournemouth last week, bent a shot from outside the area straight into the hands of Nick Hope in the Bournemouth goal."

Re: Flying to Southampton

Southampton airport is tiny and getting through security is a breeze. I would have thought the 18:55 is comfortable if you get the train to Parkway. Can take a little while to get out the ground and over the railway bridge but the 17:20 should be doable. Less than 5 mins from train to the terminal.
