My apologies for not being up to date on my hooligan attire. I’ll just get myself a frontal labotamy so I’ll be able to keep up.
Accepted. But you’ll fit in just as you are. (BTW - LOBOTOMY).
what I actually meant was that you are (as far as I am aware 1. Irish and 2. a GCFC fan, where the rules are different and as such not likely to know what goes on in England (where shirts, for example, are nowhere near as common as they are at Parkhead, and are mainly worn by youngsters rather than adults.)
that is all. Nothing to see here. Move along.
perhaps you’re right.
“CFC” actually, there is no “Glasgow” in the club’s name.
Believe it or not some Celtic fans get really, really worked up about this.
Good site owl. That’s a very strange collection of songs. I have decided to buy a replica shirt after all (I had a word with a Blackburn supporter at work and he said the same thing you did). Shouldn’t have any trouble getting in the pubs - i live near the ground so have my local to go to.
I’d just liek to say I’m mighty jealous of you. I’ve been stranded from the UK for 3.5 years now and am itching to see Coventry play again, even if I don’t seem to be able to recognise half the squad after the end-of-season clearout.
Enjoy yourself.
Slight hijack: I will be travelling to England, arriving next Saturday. I think that I’ll be staying in Swindon. Any games near enough on that weekend to have a look? It’s a business trip, so I don’t know that I’d be able to see much midweek. Thanks!

Saturday 23rd August 2003
Swindon Town - - Notts County
Anything remotely nearby (I’d have to use public transport) in the Premiership?
From Swindon, I suppose you’ve got London (5 teams), Southampton, Portsmouth and maybe Birmingham, Wolves and Villa - half the Premiership within a couple of hours.
- Find out who’s playing where
- Phone the clubs about ticket availability, and
- Research the trains - Swindon’s is well-connected, though.
On Saturday 23 August Premiership matches within easy travelling range of Swindon are:
Chelsea vs Leicester City
Southampton vs Birmingham City
Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United
[Wolverhampton Wanderers](Wolverhampton Wanderers) vs Charlton Athletic
Kick-off times are 15:00 for all games. Links are to homepages of the clubs concerned. Here’s a website for the official national rail timetable, and this site will let you book/buy a ticket online (you can arrange to collect pre-ordered tickets from the departure station).
My expectation is that Southampton will be easiest to get to and least difficult to get a ticket for, but their website seems a little slow at the moment.
bump!
Well did you enjoy it? It looked good on the telly…
Arsenal can’t use Wembley as some of the funding came from Lottery money and Arsenal can’t get any funding from them.
Remmember to bring your brassknuckles…
Yeah they can - as could spurs. THe FA would have to pay back the lottery bit, but that would be refelected in the rent that the tenant would pay.
It will happen.
I had the misfortune to be in Islington last night, at Sadler’s Wells, as befits a proper yobbo, and had to go home on the tube with the gooner supporters.
My god they’re ugly.
Perhaps friend ‘Chuck’ got lost in the Industrial Estate/Retail Park - btw, what is a ‘Retail Park’, is it like Regents Park without the grass ?
I didn’t know you danced, Owl. Aren’t those tu-tu’s a nightmare to iron ?
Football is working class Ballet. I am not working class. Therefore I have to go to Sadler’s Wells too. (actually it was a wife pleasing expedition - lots of drunkenness/bad behaviour points now safely in the bank - but at a terrible cost. I don’t know what she sees in those big men in tight tights).
