I've ordered a new 1. We ended up going to Norfolk in Sue's car and having a socially distanced picnic in their garden It was good to actually see someone again! long way to go there and back in 1 day though I hope you had your passport ready at the Suffolk border... 1 Quote
rennie Posted April 11, 2021 Author Posted April 11, 2021 They live in Diss! So it's sort of Suffolk/Norfolk anyway We're sort of locals anyway, Sue was born there and I've been there a lot Quote

I had a pie , that was rather ordinary , and some Bovril . It was a floodlit , Boxing Day match in which Coventry City beat Arsenal 3 - 2 . I must have sensed that it would never get better than that , apart from when they won the FA Cup , because I never went again . The information below is actually incorrect . It was at Highfield road . Edited April 11, 2021 by fastbob Quote

Not all ‘cos we were a bit short of money back then. It was a family afternoon out with my daughter and (now ex-) wife. I can’t stand the game now*, though I do follow the Villa’s fortunes from afar. *the consequences being the willing parent and running a kids’ team for a few years.

Bender Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 I've been to a few games luckily on an invite with corporate hospitality, it would be rude to turn down such offers, it's very far removed from a warm pie and a pint. 1 Quote
