TH2002

Last seasons kit was 'launched' on this date last year. Launch for this season's must be imminent? Maybe tomorrow so as not to clash with todays fixture launch and maximise website hits?

Must be why whenever I have dealt with their Rugby arm the products have been decent quality and there has been some form of customer service.

With the new kit and sponsor revealed as part of the Season Ticket announcement yesterday can we infer that all ties with SportsDirect are being cut, not just naming of the ground?

Must have been a staffing thing when I went in. Alun was behind the bar, Gary was behind the counter in the shop next door. Quite surreal for one of my Dad's heroes to be pulling my pints and one of my heroes to be selling me Marlboro next door.

I spent part of 1998 working in Bristol and found out that he ran a pub near the city centre called the Horse and Groom. Spent many an evening in there listening to his stories of playing alongside Jim Friz etc and watching the tail end of the 98 season on Sky. Lovely bloke. RIP.

I think that Paul Atkinson went on to be the Watford sub in their FA Cup final loss to Everton. Didn't Mark Ward mention John Ryan as a fellow inmate when he was inside? Could be wrong.

Went to a Sportsmans Dinner where Big Joe was the speaker the other week and he mentioned that both 1990 Semi Finals were expertly refereed....by Bryan Robson.

Following the Lee Croft diet rather than the Mark Crossley food fest!!

I was, then I found out you were going! How's tricks Pete?

Ground regulation 5, as published in the season ticket book and around the ground, states "Unauthorised persons are not permitted to enter the field of play". If the letter of the law had been followed I believe the encroachers could have been arrested and banned for 3 years (that was certainly the punishment when I was a steward). Bottom line is, 10 pound season ticket holder or not, they should not have been on the pitch.

Johnson out?

Would fill the team with right wingers

Add it to the pile of glossy pictures of new unbuilt stadia that we have got excited about.

Damn my misreading Wikipedia!!
