No.....the indigo rule. If someone doesn't reach the 75% participation mark they don't count. Ask RD.

Yup, agree 100%. Sold it down the river years ago. + money/europe.


As a kid in the 70s this was THE sporting highlight of the year for millions and I used to watch from first thing in the morning until the cup had been paraded round Wembley then a mass game of football afterwards, all my mates,family, all supporters, even old grannies used to watch it. Sound like an old git but I'm not sure many under say 35 really understand what it used to be like. I think someone famous from the great early 70s Liverpool team once said, "I've a bunch of Championship medals, i've a European cup medal but I'd trade them all in for an FA Cup winners medal"...can't imagine that now!

the FA just get better, don't they? Brilliantly and effortlessly devaluing their own crown jewel. I want to be sat in front of the telly, a mix of rancheros and ringos to hand, watching the coaches go to Wemberlee but no. Another part of my sporting love given over to idiocy.


I'm all about Wigan today. Just sorry that it just isn't quite what it should be.

Having lost the 78 final to Ipswich I could barely keep still for the 79 final


2 nil up at half time I vividly remember walking down to the beach for a breather an basking in likely glory


Second half... 5 mins left. And then they scored two. I felt physically ill. Genuinely not metaphorically. Then Sunderland not only score the winner but visibly swore on TV. The release...


Then we go and lose the next one in 1980. Can't remember who to

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
