Last Season ticket was 2006 (first kid arrived 2005 :)) and never bothered with membership etc as I often get a 'lent' ST. I'm normally ok for this but got a feeling the first trip to Wembley since 81 plus my mates kids all getting old enough etc will count against me - not sure I'll throw money at it either.


Think you'll over turn Blackpool

Poor Hamlet,fall at the final hurdle again.


Fingers crossed for Stevenage this week, well done for getting into the play offs especially having lost our manager to a rival, hope he's gutted from Ilford!! It will have been a fluid rise of meteoric proportions if we gain promotion.


And well done the Hammers, cruised to the play off finals.

I think so...it depends on one of my mates' son's decision about a prty or somethink :-S Was there last time we were there for Tonka's penalty...never thought it would be this long!

Thanks. Disappointed we didn't make it to a 63rd game. Have consoled myself with a large glass of rum. Been one hell of a season all in all, and probably the most enjoyable one for many Blues fans. Last year's accounts out next week - not pretty but "nowhere near bankruptcy". Hope we can keep Chris Hughton so that he can continue the good work.

Vicious rumour, but given the current circumstances at St Andrews (late accounts and all that) and that he is only on a one year rolling contract, speculation is inevitable. If he leaves, so be it; he will leave with the goodwill and blessings of all (sane) Blues fans for the season he has given us (as opposed to the guy who f*cked off last year). Interesting few weeks ahead.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
