I looked at going to one of these fixtures but didn’t want to be sat in a mostly empty ground.

I opted for Orlando v Cincinnati instead and be a football tourist for the night Tickets in the home end are £10 ($12) and it looks like a much better experience.

See you there😀 We fly out on the 14th for 2 weeks. Rope drop the parks. Drink plenty of water. Don’t leave anything til next time. Create a list of your ‘must do’s’ and stick to it. Don’t stress about queue times. The rides are worth the wait. Enjoy every minute. I’ve been fortunate to visit Orlando...

I did offer an Adult ticket to someone yesterday, but there’s been no reply to confirm they wanted it.

I have an Adult ticket available.

martintheaker

I’m likely to have 1 spare Adult ticket if that helps you.

Collected my Derby tickets on Friday last week.

When you say ' I called -', do you mean you rang them or called into the TO?

I rang for tickets.

martintheaker

I called for Sheff. Utd. tickets and was told it is ‘post only’ now for away tickets. Collection is no longer an option. No explanation.

Hi Chris,

No words will make things feel better right now, but Denise and I are thinking about you and the family.

Take care mate,

Martin.

Saddened to hear this news yesterday. Like a few others, I knew Steve from vans and minibus trips to away matches through the 80’s and 90’s. One stand out event, amongst many, was a dodgy van we hired from a firm in Clitheroe which caught fire somewhere on the M6. Steve said ‘don’t panic, but the va...

Raynauds is awful from September to May, so basically the whole football season. My three pronged approach is Nifidipine, silk glove liners, and a pair of North Face fleece lined leather gloves. The silk glove liners are about £10-£15 depending on the brand, and the North Face gloves are about £150 ...

How about reversing this? How about not applauding ex-players and manager on the Everton game? It works both ways you know. Agree. They don’t play for us anymore, they don’t manage us anymore. Managers, players, loaneees, will all come back at some stage with other clubs to try to beat us. Just ign...

I think there has been an awareness of this case prior to the TV series. I for one had been following it. Rather, I think it says more about the society we are living in these days that it takes a dramatisation on TV for mass interest in it to occur. I think you’re right about injustice needing to ...

If you’re around Euston area, walk down towards Kings Cross, take a right up by the Irish Bar, then left behind Camden Town Hall to The Dolphin Pub. Only a small pub, but great beer.

Yes, 1 spare now.

Done.

I have 2 available (both Adult) if anyone is still after tickets.

Can i ask How does 1 end up needing a hip replacment. Is it through years of a certain activity that have caused.it? Just curious. Same with knee too Mine was caused because I have haemophilia, years and years of internal bleeding damaged the joint to the point where I could barely walk. Not activi...

martintheaker

Had mine done in 2011 after putting it off for a few years. Take it easy for first few weeks and listen to the physiotherapist, they know best.

After two ankle fusions and a total shoulder replacement, I have to say the hip surgery was a breeze.

Hope it’s as successful as mine has been.

Very moving tribute. You don’t need to be a wordsmith to write what you feel, those who read it will get every word. It would have been my Dad’s birthday this week.

If anyone still wants an adult ticket for tomorrow, let me know as I now have one spare, shame to leave an empty seat.

Burnley fans complaining about timewasting is phenomenal. Worst team in the league for it. Look at it another way, more positively from our perspective. We’re the best team in the PL at managing the clock when necessary. Pope’s ‘where’s the ball’ against Spurs being the best one so far this season.

martintheaker

London Bridge to Norwood Junction is also an option. Trains are every 10 minutes or so and journey time is less than 15 minutes.
Barrow Boy and Banker pub directly opposite London Bridge Station brings back memories of Charlton and 23 undefeated.

I did think about this but it seemed like it was a long journey from Cockfosters into the centre so thought parking closer would be better. I suppose it depends on whether you want to drive around the M25 to head nearer to the ground, or just park up near the bottom of the M1 and use the trains. I’...

martintheaker

As Tony said, a good option is a Tube station in North London. I use Finchley Central because it has a huge car park and it’s a quick trip to Kings Cross / St. Pancras for the trains to Palace. Cockfosters is just as easy.

martintheaker

Heading in from Preston. Try the Knowles Arms at Brownhill, restaurant is called Ego. Good food, decent prices. Only drawback is it’s in B*******n

martintheaker

As the title suggests does anybody have any recommendations for parking re Palace away. I was thinking of stopping at Purley and getting the train to Norwood Junction, I have seen online that "some local schools offer parking" but it's quite vague on what and where they are. A lot depends on which ...

These are my fingers after just a few seconds outside without gloves. Raynauds is a horrible condition, not helped by freezing cold water and cold air dryers in the Gents at TM. I wear silk glove liners (about £15 a pair) plus some fur lined thick leather gloves from North Face (which were about £15...

You still haven’t bought me the birthday beer you promised me at Anfield so get well soon and I hope we can catch up when you’re back on’t Turf. #UTC

Obviously depends on your budget and what you’re going to use it for. We bought this one last year and it’s decent value for the space and budget we had. 4 weeks delivery from date of order, built inside a day. https://billyoh.com/renna-summerhouse/26269 Edit.

These match reviews are great, Tony. Thank you.

72-73 was my first season watching The Clarets with my Dad, standing on The Longside.

Reading them bring back some fantastic memories, especially as my Dad is no longer here. UTC

For anyone with Amazon Prime, there is an 8 part mini series called ‘Unspeakable’ based on haemophiliac families affected by the infected blood scandal in Canada. Their situation mirrors that of the UK in many ways and it’s a set of very moving personal stories based on real life events. I hope more...

Dan, I see what you’re saying about my use of the word ‘innocent’ when referring to haemophiliacs. There were of course many other innocent victims including the partners of men who may have been leading double lives. The guilty ones would be the skid row drug addicts, prisoners and gay prostitutes ...

Many people forget, or don’t know that 1,243 out of 5,000 innocent British Haemophiliacs died from HIV/AIDS related illnesses.

Great thread. I’m really missing the away match days more than home games. Away games are the real escape. I travel all over the UK and Ireland working, but I’m not missing that travel anywhere near as much sitting in a car or on a train with mate just chatting. Chatting with a football mate one to ...

Writing or saying ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ is a bad one.
