Sorry, it must just be me, but I get the impression this statement doesn't actually state anything new apart from the "creation of the Government medical working group for a return of elite sport, which met for the first time this morning." Perhaps its purpose was to "reassure" people that the seas...

Best footy game ever.

2nd best.

Player Manager with the kick off engine was the best ever.

Gary Parkinson was a world beater for us on SWOS.

Start him at right back so the software doesn't recognize him as being "out of position" and then change formation to put him up front - he does a passable impression of Ronaldo if you do this.

Stop pretending it never happened to you too. This happened to everybody. You sit down. You open your yoghurt and then - pflllurrp plop. The yoghurt trumps out a yoggo-burp and you have splooshy drops of yoghurt on your top. This is an appeal for help. Scientists of UTC! Your messageboard needs you!...

The end of cash? It's possible but it's also premature. Cash still has the potential for something that a monetary transfer does not - it has an inherent worth. I'm genuinely scared of a financial collapse that could see the "value" of this digital "money" disappear entirely. If that happens (and it...

Economic fallout will be immense and felt for years. It WILL spark a worldwide global recession. This has already begun.

To give people a clue (as long as I've guessed correctly) this ground was replaced by the club in 1996.

Yup I've got it but I'll leave it for others to have a guess.

Nope it's not wrexham!

1. Raceourse - Wrexham

Second one might be abroad

Could be early in the season or else I'd wager towards the end.

So I'd guess either vs Gillingham or vs Plymouth.

They’ve ended the season but not decided to void the league yet. Still to be decided.

However, the government has ruled out behind closed door options.

Hope to Heaven that the UK doesn't rule out behind closed doors options. It would be stupid to cancel that perfectly good option.

The Birmingham supporter at Saint Andrews who tried to escape arrest for fighting with his own supporters by running away from the police on the backs of the chairs.

Watching him helplessly gaining momentum before his inevitable graceless fall was brilliant.

You can still see the remnants of that monolithi terrace behind the stand at the Valley. It's the stand to the right of the away end. It must have been a sight to behold but I gather it was so large that it was rarely, if ever, "full" (before or after the capacity was reduced) and fell into disrepai...

Unfortunately the descriptions that accompany the old pictures make the answers far too obvious so it's best to try and avoid reading them if you actually want to be challenged.

However, they're nice old images anyway and it will pass a few minutes.

Yes, don't forget the bat food, or the aspirational students who were wiped out in Tiananmen Square, or the million of Uighuirs in concentation camps.

Correct. It doesn't negate any of that.

Rowls

No, China is a shining example of what market capitalism can achieve. China has driven the efforts to alleviate world poverty. It is well on the way to becoming the primary world superpower thanks to adopting market capitalism. What does all this mean? Well it probaly means an end to era of American...

It would be nice if North Korea could adopt some market capitalism (like China) followed by some democracy.

The potential of that country is immense.

There's a strong chance they'll start breeding.

Best have one of them neutered first to be safe.

I've enjoyed reading this thread. But without trying to sound too pompous, we'll all start taking things for granted once again when life returns to normal. It's human nature to take the mundane and everyday things for granted but at least this gives us a new perspective to appreciate things that we...

I have visited a lot less of these grounds than most posters but have seen some different things from most.

Only went there the once, must've been 1999 for the 1-0 win. Don't remember much. But my Dad has a story about Cambridge which is both amusing and also terrible.

Yes and it was their first game in Milton Keynes. They were still claiming to be "Wimbledon" at that stage.

Rowls, do you work night shift?

I've not worked a single second since lockdown which was 15th March here.

Since then, neither time of day nor day of week hath dominion over me.

Rowls

Yeah, the bar and the food was decent enough.

But the rooms and the building itself - very antiquated and almost certainly too large to rennovate in a cost effective manner.

Rowls

And I have never known a corridor creak as much as that place did. The corridor follows the curve of the building so you can never see more than 12 meters ahead of yourself, even though it must be 100 yards long.

It must've been a grand Victorian/Edwardian building.
