Gerry and The Pacemakers outsung us briefly, but we outsung The Kop all night.

Listening to 'Just Look Them Straight In The Eye and Say... Pogue Mahone'. Not been so excited by a compilation album since The Jam 'Extras' was released. Probably only of real interest to long standing Pogues fans but the three demos of FTONY alone make it well worth a listen.

Would be great to see you there if we make it. Thanks to your folks for the voucher. Happy New Year Dale.

Two per season ticket holder helps the club as they don't need the same ticket office staffing as for one per person. If it was one per person it would need 4,000 transactions to sell 4,000 tickets. Two per season ticket holder gets rid of the same number in half the time. It is likely that many of the non-season ticket holders who end up with tickets in this first batch will be keen fans who would have queued up for a ticket on open sale so it also has the benefit of cutting down the queues for those that have to wait for open sale. I think it's generally the case that if half the allocation is less than the number of ST holders then it will be one per person. Chesterfield away will be one per ST holder as the away end holds only slightly more than our number of ST holders. I therefore expect to not be sat with friends and family at that game.

My Generation Festival Thought this link may be of interest to some of those stopping over in Brighton on 25th September.

No, and it's not even as late as I thought it was!

I'll excuse the error as it was late when you posted but you may want to check the name of that B-side...... Oh, and the A-side as well!

No 4 - The Clash - Give 'em enough rope. Is number 3 a Pebbles compilation?

Correct - my money's on Sunday. United are away that day

Sorry folks........... as you were

What a night that was - cracking atmosphere created by the handful of Latics who made the trip - I think 95% of the Latics crowd were OASIS (including myself at the time). One of my best nights watching Latics - rarely gets mentioned though when people are remembering classic Latics trips

What's not to like?

I'm not a big darts fan but went to the MEN for Twentysixblack's stag do, then took the other half to Brum for her birthday last year (I know how to treat a lady!) It's a really good night and a cracking atmosphere. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Premier League Darts is in Exeter on Thursday March 4th, only 2 days before our match there! Now all you've got to do is persuade the missus (or in my case the missus needs to persuade me!)

Ellie Greenwich, writer of such classics as Da Doo Ron Ron, Be My Baby, The Leader of the Pack, River Deep Mountain High and many more, has died of a heart attack aged 68. Sad News Obituary Ellie's songs RIP Ellie

Nah, I doubt she's even been to Byker!

I'm afraid what he describes is what has gradually happened everywhere since stadia became all seater. He is lucky that his club retained terraces longer than many.

Sounds like Boundary Park. What have we got to lose?

Got my JD Sports tangerine top on all ready to go! Getting the train from Tutbury at about 2pm, arriving Manchester 15:30 then straight to Sinclairs. Block 109 here we come!

Only if people actually make some noise. If everyone is sat in silence the shape of the roof is irrelevent.

Why would we want it to sound like 100,000 men shouting "F*** Off Eardley, You're gash!"?

I think he was quoting Eric B and Rakim

I might have to dig out my old PWEI Sample it Loop it F**k It and Eat It t shirt for Saturday. It'll be like 1990 all over again!

We could always sing the praises of Bruce Wayne, Optimus Prime, Terminator, Hit the North, Dirty Harry, The Leader of the Pack and Da Doo Ron Ron, amongst others. Can you dig it?
