I'm with you sir. I only gave up my season ticket at the end of last season when I relocated to Brecon. Don't judge but the location is f*cking awesome but not being there bites.
Detached is a fair description but my "VPN residency in Belgium" helps but nowhere near as much Clive's content.
Thanks to him and you all for keeping me connected
Threads about this topic always make me chuckle. Last time I was supping a pint in a ground when we scored was as Furlong hit the winner ……. coming back from 2-0 down v Leicester (2005 I think almost to the day).
Except the ground was Ravenhill watching Ulster vs Ospreys, stood alongside the pitch with our comms in my ear. Cant recall the rugby score but I do recall beer may have been spilled. The RUC (and the then Mrs Davies) were not impressed.
I'd leave just as it is. Beer at rugby is a nonsense these days at internationals. Football would be just as bad!
He arrived to great fanfare and when I read about his departure something feels off. The club made a point of mentioning the last 4 results under the interim manager. But frankly having spent far too many years with the club causing me anxiety around the mens team I'm not sure I can sign up to our women's team being embroiled in some behind the scenes shenanigans! but its our club and I wish all teams well.
To include Ready but not Ceasar overlooks the latters 5 appearances in 1990 - with special mention of Wimbledon away in December which in fairness probably ensured Bobby Gould, Darren Peacock and Andy Tilson happened
I’m generally mild mannered, not controversial, see the best in most whenever I can but Rod Liddell and John Terry (plus a bloke I used to work with Chris Everett) couldn’t muster a pleasant word about any of them following their passing. Good fu ck ing riddance
Bromley were my local side as an early teenager. Watched either them, Welling or Cray Wanderers most weeks when Rangers were away. Nice ground. Pain the arse to get to as 61 bus stopped at the wrong end of Hayes Lane.
I too watched a charity match there c 1983. Still have Ian Dawes sock ties in my self store unit in Brecon. Not there tonight the ouzo in Rhodes is more appealing.

I like to think Im a reasonably intelligent chap. Worked in finance for a very long time. But I also find trying to decipher all of this way too unecessary - bit like I've always found trying to learn a new language (Welsh I'm looking at you) harder than I think it should be.
Dorse does a great job helping me 'better' understand the incomprehensible so perhaps it's more that I like seeing an 89th minute winner than trying to fathom what all this really means. Analysis much appreciated nonetheless
But he made Warnock happen and then the bonkers season that followed ……. so the rest is inconsequential. Apart from him taking the piss out of Briatore for the fanzine (I think it was AKUTRs) cover. That was also outstanding. So a thank you from me
Reminds me of the suggestion that both him and Jim Gregory wanted to buy us in the mid-60s - rumours suggest that he was actually a supporter. Jim won; Bates lost before he resurfaced at Wigan and then 'that lot'. Urban myth maybe but he would have been 'very QPR' but I'm glad we dodged that potential bullet
I've stuck with it and 2 things struck me. Either ……..
1 we are hugely over engineering this with all these 'elite performance specialist' types focusing on individual aspects to secure fine margins, or
2. imagine how much worse Birmingham away would have been if all these 'elite performance specialist' types weren't propping up this average mid table championship team
10pm port on a Sunday is very dangerous mate. As we've discussed previously a mid range malbec and gauchos medium/ rare ribeye is just about perfect - although maybe not at 10pm on a sunday!
