I think the last major investment was to build the North stand for the 1966 world cup. Naturally, they got a lot of grants to pay for what was then, a fairly new thing - a cantilever construction. I also seem to remember that after the Bradford Stadium fire, they undertook various improvements...

It will be interesting (if anybody still cares) to see what power this “independent” regulator is given. Who appoints him or her or it? If he, she or it does the job properly and upsets the top PL clubs, how long before they are sacked? (Sorry. I meant “resigned to pursue other interests”).

Now Simon Carr wins stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps. I remember back in the day when we never won any major race from one year to the next - and when there were no British riders at all in the Tour de France. Long may the present trend continue.

Disgraceful! They have ripped the emotional heart out of what once was the “jewel in the crown”. All in the relentless and soulless pursuit of mammon. May they rot………….

Great win for Stevie Williams in the Fleche Wallone yesterday. Very hard course, atrocious weather and freezing cold temperatures. I’ve never seen so many highly trained athletes in their mid-twenties, looking like 50 to 60 year olds after getting to the finish. So, two British winners in the...

Just seen the Line-up. No Jack - just when you really need him. I fear another (very) heavy defeat against a team I thought we might get something from. Ah well, I suppose we have come used to it by now. UTB

This means that (probably) the S6 Tuna murderers will be above us in the league (for one week at least). Will we ever hear the end of it? o_O :eek:

Another Everton points deduction. What a joke - though hardly a surprise! If only we had an owner rich enough for us to cheat like that. Absolutely no sanction at all. A farce!

The big difference appears to be that Vingegaard’s injuries all appear to be to his top half. Froome and Bernal both had pelvic damage and broken femurs. Despite his age, I can see Vingegaard possibly coming back to something like. Roglic and Remco should be ok. First time I’ve seen the 3...

Yes, I feel ok at Rod, thanks for asking. Both Haemo and Hepto blood tests on Monday, so may know more then, but certainly feel reasonably well at the mo. Still getting to the home games and the occasional non-league game. Same result last night as the first time I watched United at Anfield...

We were 30-1 for last nights game. That’s the highest I’ve ever seen a team in a league game - and I wasn’t even tempted. However, the good news is, we are about to annihilate Chelsea on Sunday. Now, where did I leave the rest of the whisky?🤑

MvdP - what a man! Carlton Kirby - what a twit!

I can equate to that. Running my first one, I wondered why there seemed to be a large group of blokes all bunching up. When I got to the front of them, I found out why. Nobody wanted to overtake such a vision of loveliness. Sadly, she was only doing the half so turned off at about the 12 mile...

Me too. Had to endure that awful LL stand, got absolutely soaked and had a “reight good neet”.

I’ve played rugby on Castle Dyke (1956-58). I’ve also played football (or attempted to) - not easy when a gale was raging. I’ve also played on the HSBC pitches - nothing like Castle Dyke. That 2 miles or so could take you into another world.
