Thanks. Shepherd's Rest looks just the job.

Can anyone recommend any good pubs in the Calder Valley that have an outside play area for kids? Thanks

Scampi

Love that jdrobbo. One year we were on immediately in front of Black Dyke in one of the villages and as we started the walk up, our drummer made a complete balls-up of the taps, so we all stumbled off in a totally disorganised shambling mess, sniggers of Dyke who were stood waiting behind us echoing...

If you're good enough to play for one of the handful of top bands - your Black Dykes and Brighouses - who are most likely to win all the different contests, then you take the playing pretty seriously. For everyone else, it is in large part a day-long musical pub-crawl!

Scampi

Played with bands in it a good number of times, though not this year. One of the absolute best days you will ever see, playing or watching. Everyone should go at least once in their lifetime.

Any idea who our barrister is?

They do defend so well-almost Dyche style. I dont recall a major save Jensen made against us or Leeds

They reminded me of a Ternent team. Honest, willing to scrap a bit, figuring out how to win a game as it develops.

Scampi

Something that really struck me on his post match interview was how he mentioned 'emotion', saying to the effect that we lost our way when the game got 'emotional'. Now, that was not by any stretch of the imagination an 'emotional' game. Millwall got worked up for the first time when they thought th...

Sat in Longside Lower NL8, didn't seem to me that the amount of frustrated moans/groans was any worse than will have been heard at any football match ever played? Just as many "Come on Burnley's" as any widespread grumbling. And the only obvious bit of moaning was at the ref when he allowed Portsmou...

If Lyle Foster has somehow got a Premier League move lined up off the back of his time at Burnley so far that is really surprising to me. He’s got the raw attributes but come on, what’s he done? He’s had 5 or 6 brilliant performances, a load of rank bad ones and then a few middling ones - all inter...

Scampi

To the U21 group but there's players classed as first team that are also in it, so they read his opinions also. Proper schoolboy error And sorry, to clarify one more thing - the academy director's message was one he was intending to send to an agent, which was then mistakenly sent to the U21 player...

As mentioned above, Old Hunstanton the one to head for. The beach with its dunes is great, especially with a dog.

Scampi

They are brilliant at communicating when it’s good news but appalling when there are issues. That’s the whole club, not just ticketing. It's worse than just pretty poor. I'm a southern based fan, have always been, so have been buying tickets for matches like this for 30 odd years. I've NEVER experi...

Scampi

Is anyone able to confirm exactly what is happening with tickets? Unless I've missed it, I can't see anything on the website. Are they being posted by default or do we have to ask for them to be posted? Or are we supposed to ask to pick them at Luton? Tony, or Leisure or somebody - could you ask the...

Ceefax at home was easy-peasy, but what if your parents had dragged you out shopping on a Saturday afternoon?

Me and my brother got to know exactly where all the shops selling TVs were, and which ones had a display set that you could access Ceefax on!

Scampi

This might be one for ChesterPerry, but does anyone have a sense of how much the deal is likely to be for? My initial reaction for all the, relatively unheard of in the UK, gambling sponsors we've had, and the Visit Detroit thing, is "Can they really be paying all that much? Is it really worth it?"

Scampi

Does anyone know whether they'll be selling tickets for all home games all at the same time again, like last season?

Scampi

People can pretend we have it all in hand all they want - the players are back today and being coached by Michael Jackson and Craig Bellamy. What on Earth are they thinking one wonders? A gigantic squad full of players, a third of which have been farmed out here, there and everywhere on loan over t...

Actually think that Bellingham disrupted the shape too much, because he didn't play as a 10, but a roving CM - and thus Foden wasn't confident as to when or how he should come in from the left. The brave, but I think correct choice, is to play Bellingham next to Rice, Foden at 10, then your pick fro...

Scampi

Whether or not he was clipped is kind of irrelevant to the main thing he's being criticised for. He thought he was fouled - fair enough, he might or might not have been, but the ref didn't give it. Benefit of the doubt, he then goes in for some histrionics with the aim of getting a VAR review. Again...

Friend of a friend is Chief Exec at Wycombe. Wholly unsurprisingly, they love him just as much as we did.

It's obviously a conflict of interest, it's literally the dictionary definition of it. That's not to say that Kompany is actually exercising this interest at the detriment of the club. This a million times. The whole notion of conflict of interest is about one person being in a position where they ...

Spot on RV.

Different grade of errors. Theirs was when under pressure, drawing the press. Ours was with us in full control.

Scampi

And manager has to state what they think the error was and it is only that, and nothing else, that gets checked

Scampi

Manager review. 3 per season in the league, one in each of the cups. Then you really do get only the most egergious errors caught and for everyhting else we can just to go back to playing and watching football.

Scampi

Can also find various editions on ebay etc of Aerofilms, Football Grounds From The Air.

Related observation after yesterday. Somewhere earlier in this thread or the one about the email, someone had mentioned Brentford as an example to follow, with their use of pre match songs etc. Well, yesterday, there was pretty much zero atmosphere from the home fans. They played a bunch of songs th...

I struggle to see how a consistently applied system can ever be devised that works for subjective decisions being made in a dynamic fast-paced environment. As a lawyer I spend all my working life thinking about rules - how they work, how they apply and when they apply. Two inherent problems with usi...

We thought we’d be able to park at the station (train or tube), do you think they’ll fill up early doors with commuters? Thanks for the park, sounds perfect! No parking at the tube station. Parking at Watford Junction station, or park in the town centre car parks for Watford High Street - should be...

Watford Croxley Green Premier Inn About a mile away from my house! From there you're closest to Watford underground station - maybe 5-10 mins walk (for an adult). That's on the Metropolitan line which will take you all the way into central London. It's slower than the overground line (which goes fr...

Scampi

Watford does have tube as well as overground, though the tube station is a bit out of the town centre. Whereabouts are you staying?

Scampi

Really interesting analysis Spiral and yes, makes sense! One thing that struck me in the second half re your comment on hunting in packs - going into defense when losing possession, even in our own final third, didn't mean going back into the framework like it has done for so long. It expected and r...

Absolutely no benefit. If the Met line is running then go all the way to the end of the line.

Better pubs in Croxley

But yes, if you're walking straight to the ground, definitely stay on until Watford.

Scampi

Underground - Metropolitan line - is running but on a reduced timetable, which it's been on for weeks. Taxi from Croxley to the ground would take 5 minutes (but order ahead as there's no cab rank at the station), or you could also get a bus. Parking at the Harlequin (now called Atria) - you can pay ...

Scampi

Parking - Palace, Queens or Kings car parks which are all in the big shopping centre (Atria) in the town centre. They also have parking at Watford Girls School, just between the town centre and the ground. As mentioned, avoid the big Tesco. Ring road around the town centre is one way, and the traffi...

Thanks Chester - look forward to the ultimate synthesis

Scampi

Apologies if this is somewhere else obvious within a thread, but are you able to post a link to the most up-to-date/current version of your magnum opus on the ALK takeover and finances? Thanks

Scampi

He'd have been an absolutely perfect fit for the old fashioned pre-Wenger Arsenal.

Good shout. The latter for me given the standard of opposition but remiss of me to have forgotten both!

I have a list of goals I will regularly spend ages rewatching online Eyres at Wembley Little v Bristol R Hyde, Ings and Arfield v Rovers All the goals in the home semi final v Spurs The 3 play off 2009 goals Blake v Man U Barnes v Wigan Boyd v Man C Ward v Chelsea Jay Rod v Man U And we now have a n...

Scampi

I watched it by myself in the pub. Chilled and relaxed at the start as obviously we weren't going to do it, so no need to get too het up. When Jay scored number 3 I was running and jumping up and down the middle of the road outside. The previous match we'd made a mess of the game at Deepdale. I'd sp...

Hi John This feels quite odd. I’ve been a lurker on this board and the last one for years – ever since the day the club decided not to renew Stan’s contract and I realised there was probably an online forum somewhere that would let me find out some of the inside info! I’ve made a couple of inconsequ...

4 goals scored in a row (in competitive games):

Paterson v Reading
Thompson v Reading
Elliott v Sheffield United
Blake v Manchester United

What an incredible run of outstanding, and meaningful, goals.
