  1. I crossed that bridge 15 mins after the game and there was no problem then except a bunch of Wigan yoof on the bank looking to wind up Saints fans. 2 police there watching. So unless it was earlier or much later, bit surprised. Disgusting if true.
  2. At the risk of repeating myself, at Forest.
  3. In Wigan now. Place full of Saints already. Going to be a good one. Rendition of the Woolston Ferry on the train from Manchester confused the locals. Bless. Beer £2.50. :-) the north has its benefits. Just as long as they don't try to make me live here.
  4. Just saw that on their website. Sounds like it's going back to All Saints tomorrow. . Perhaps we could recommend they readopt the old name!
  5. Sadly expected back over the Pennines by Mrs S. Can't really get excited about the joys of Pontefract so will need to make the most of the lunchtime session.
  6. Anvil seems to be the place. Getting there early, though and might be tempted by a bit of a crawl and a pie/pudding or two.
  7. If SDR's loan is only a month I guess there will be a recall clause.
  8. Just sayin', like.
  9. Guy called Billy Sharp at Forest is useful.
  10. Agreed. Pressing higher, forcing errors, anticipating passes and intercepting far more than under NA. The number of times we disposessed MU last night in their own half was very impressive.
  11. Confirmed there is a cash turnstile, to save a few phone calls.
  12. He might just fit the MP mould - energetic, hard-working player who will press well and defend from the front. And come up with a few goals.
  13. As it says on the can, from Wigan ticket office. Let's make it a home game!
  14. B0ll0cks Mods: Do we really need this rubbish?
  15. Not too happy with Fox but Jos did well. Btw, didn't think it should have been a free kick that led to their 2nd.
  16. Just on the train home. Great performance, deserved at least a point. Hope they're not too knackered for Wigan. Put a lot into that.
  17. Probably. Phone Wigan t/o tomorrow and check.
  18. If you saw a jester with a nun on his shoulders would it be virgin on the ridiculous?
  19. Interesting question and one that I'm pondering a lot at the moment. Having taken early retirement 9 years ago with a decent pension from a pretty stressful management job I took on a part-time admin/ICT job to keep me from stagnating and bring in a bit of cash. That job is now a comfortable flexible 20 hours a week and reasonably interesting so I'm not desperate to give it up. Also started my own consultancy business a few years ago as a small sideline, but it's grown and is very successful, but time-consuming. So on the one hand, I'm happy where I am, but on the other I want fairly soon to be able to just take off for a few months at a time and travel the world. This will happen at some point, but not sure when. Don't want to leave it too late.
  20. Probably cash turnstile. See post #34
  21. As an over-60 I demand an immediate infraction for this on the grounds of. Damn, forgotten why.
  22. Quite a few people think that, but they've got plenty of tickets to teach them otherwise. There are wardens and they're nasty.
  23. I know a useful street in Shrewsbury where it applies. Often park there after 6pm. Never had a ticket.
  24. Out of geekish interest, double yellows don't always mean "at any time". Strictly, they mean "more than the working day" so check the signs. Sometimes you can park on double yellows at night. That is all.
