I saw them at Loughborough University in 1980 or 81. The brilliance of it was that this could have been just another tour date in just another student union for which minimum effort could be applied (I'm thinking of you Rockpile!) but instead they were utterly brilliant and I doubt could have tried harder. A very underrated band.

I'm always annoyed when Gallagher says "Far Far Away" is one of the best songs ever written, as if Slade are OK because Oasis say so. I would think that Noddy Holder's opinion of Oasis is much more valid. Slade make Oasis look "very limited".

NB I went out with a girl from Penn, Wolverhampton just before that time and she was always saying that they lived close to where Noddy grew up but I've never had that independently verified.

Were you at Loughbrough then? Did you know Keith the DJ?

Tthe best live band for me is The Who. From the early days at Goldhawk Social Club right through to the massive stadium appearances no other band has, for me anyway, given so much pleasure at their gigs. Pete Townsend's autobiography is an excellent read.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band were the best live band I saw - way back in the 70s.
 
One of my closest friends was there from 81-84. You may remember him as he was the only student there at that time with a mohican. I forget Keith's surname (age has done for my memory), he was one of the Ents. people and booked most of the bands. I saw SLF, Undertones and quite a few others there for minimal admission (ok, I got in free).

Kevin Friend will be in charge of our game at Stoke next Monday.

The referee appointments list has been issued up to and including Thursday 21 April and there is no sign of Mark Clattenberg. Has he been "grounded" does anyone know ?

Apparently Kevin Friend has now been removed from officiating our game because he lives in Leicester !!
 
Sounds like the hand of fat Mike in all this. The puppets just move to whatever tune he plays,

Scumbag treatment of a loyal player by a decent club, currently owned by a scumbag!

How so, as far as I can tell all it says was he was a shoddy witness...?

Fair point - I picked up on the first part rather than the 2nd... But he still came out better than Charnley & Carver!! <laugh>
  • Former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew "was able to deliver his evidence in a confident, convincing and articulate way".
  • However, "the detail of what was said was not necessarily as credible as the manner in which the evidence was delivered". Some of Pardew's evidence was deemed to be contradictory and "inconsistent".

Not a great season for our Northeastern clubs, is it?
Losing on the pitch and losing in court, too.
