    Happy Birthday, John!

    My Dad would have been 71 tomorrow but he was killed over 11 years ago now. We were struggling near the foot of the Championship at the time, he never would have believed what was just around the corner. I wasn't prepared for the explosion of emotion when the final whistle went on that special day at Wembley!

    Stay safe out there!

    Hoping you are celebrating a little, well celbrating a lot, I understand your sentiment John as I too first saw City 1958 although my visits were sparodic, money wasn't plentiful. It wasn't until I earned enough of my own money, parents couldn't afford pocket money, that my visits became regular then obsessive. I'm having a drink of spicey rum in your honor, well that's my excuse lol. All the best.

    Something the Allams could learn from, we got from school, as I was in the football team and pass which got us in for half price. From memory it was a shilling but with this pass we got in for sixpence. That got me started and I've spent tens of thousands of pounds on the club since that beginning.

    By a strange twist of fate, it's also my wife's birthday tomorrow so it kinda balances out a bit.

    I'm sure you know it's a costly business, particularly so close together and just after Xmas.

    I was at Eastfield throughout the 50’s, I remember we where having a trial for the school team, one of the other lads, it was Chris Simpkin, shouted, ‘where’s our inside right’, apparently that was supposed to be me. I never did get in the team, so had to pay the full shilling or 6d for reserves. I did actually get just one game for the C team playing against Kingston High, which explains a lot, I suppose.

    Aye, it's been clear for weeks this was on the cards. It's bollocks, but it's dialogue, I suppose...
