    Growing up in Leicester during the 70's, there used to be a coach of "Leeds fans" leave Humberstone Gate every Saturday to go to their games ... I find it a little difficult to believe that they had chosen to support Leeds due to the beauty, grace and sportsmanship of their football <laugh> .... the cynic in me suspected it might just be because they were winning everything <whistle> .... seen the same thing in the 80's / 90's with Liverpool and also with Man United for the last 20 years ...

    One of the funniest episodes I recall was a young lad in Hertfordshire wearing a Blackburn shirt the season after they had won the EPL - my family is originally from the Blackburn area so I was intrigued - I asked him why he was supporting Blackburn and he replied "because they are the best" ... he was right of course, if only very briefly <laugh>

    Can't answer for others but can say this .... support your local team for 50 years with only a modicum of "success" - a few league cups and second division titles - then win the EPL - it's a feeling that is difficult to express in words - I'm not sure that particular euphoria would have been quite as satisfying for those from Leicestershire who adopted Leeds, Liverpool or Man United as their team of choice over the periods mentioned above ... but that's just my view.

    Plastics like you will never understand the joy of supporting your local club and going with your schoolmates... and the highs and the lows.

    Chelsea fans of my generation nver dreamed of winning the league so it is extra special for local supporters who have followed their team through Div 2.

    You will never get it

    I definitely won't ever 'get' what it feels like to support a manufactured club like Chelsea, you damn right boy.

    Plastic club.

    Who the **** is that ****** anyway? It's like every **** that crawls out from your board is a specimen from some ***** asylum.

    Who'da thunk you'd be the most normal one <laugh>

    And Bodinki, he's alright... wherever he is.

    Unlikely.

    He's never actually given away his location in all the years on here but if you've ever seen his YouTube video then it's more towards Anglesey and Snowdonia I reckon.

    Direct flight from Blaenau Ffestiniog, sorted.

    Where is your seat for Sunday?

    You claimed you were saving your Spurs' ticketmaster reg no so could not share it.

    But you still haven't replied to my query about how many digits a pre-July 2017 Spurs registration number has....
