Re: Still missing the turf?

Definitely missing the whole before, during, and after, match day experience.

Shuffled the songs on my Alexa workout playlist this afternoon and 1st track on was 'Foo Fighters 'Times like these' - felt very nostalgic!

Looking forward to the day it's blasting out on the big screen at The Turf again.
