Don't get to many aways these days, was there every week in my youth and 20s. I do enjoy the tales of the coach trips, boozers and constant faff it brings though. Utb ⚔️

Great summary Al, spot on analysis, certainly a good point in the circumstances & definitely a first having high viz chaperones 🤣

Thanks, Alan

An entertaining report, as ever . . . perhaps more entertaining than the match!

I’ve often wondered about Coventry’s peculiar badge, but have been too lazy to look it up until today . . . here’s a summary and I think you might be on to something when you say narcotics were involved:

Mind you, have a look at what they say about Sheffield United’s – the ancient one is something to behold!

Bassette the pantomime villain – you’re not wrong – that wink really got me booing (but Anel should have tried harder to be the ‘good guy’ really . . .).

Anyway, a good point in the end.

Right, setting off for Blades v Oxford now.

Sue.
