I don't think it would be unfair to say that not many people noticed them.<br /><br />The IoW formerly had a rather extensive railway network, however that steadily eroded until complete closure in the 60s.<br /><br />I agree that I don't make the rules, however it is surely axiomatic that it wasn't a pre-emptive tick as it was a pre-emptive tick on the immortal day that was 24th May 2008.<br /><br />If you have developed a soft spot for York City I think you need Hull City to have a prolonged spell in the doldrums of the lower leagues to bring you to your senses. <br /><br />The Euston Head of Steam is one of those pubs that started at a high level and has since been on a steady decline, slightly accelerated by the takeover and amplified by the improvement in the local competition. I had forgotten about the keypad bog. I haven't been in in years. I don't really feel the loss.

Plus, you don't make the rules on what BRAPA deems pre-emptive.<br /><br />I think I've developed a soft spot for York City. I used to hate them circa 1995. <br /><br />I probably agree but still think Arsenal's fans are amongst the friendliest and most approachable from my experience of dealing with Premier league fans, though the bar hasn't been set very high.Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-24442897620532517372016-06-01T22:51:33.693+01:002016-06-01T22:51:33.693+01:00Oh yes, don't get me started on Doric Arch.

It was described to me as a bright shiny place where all fans of all 92 league football clubs come together over a pint of real ale from anywhere in the UK. The truth was a bit less exhilarating!

In this particular Lincolnshire shithole, a large proportion of the population have benefit electric wheelchairs. They act in a similar ungracious manner to benefit stick man, and when the arrive at their destination park up and walk normally.<br /><br />Colour coordinated pump clip depictions were used by Rich at the Welly, but only in a small corner such that many didn't notice. I think the Chiltern Brewery have executed this good idea far better.<br /><br />You may have inadvertently tempted me into a trip to the Isle of Wight. We shall see if things come off as the theoretically should, but almost certainly won't at work.<br /><br />Whilst I agree that football grounds have pre emptive potential, seeing as you had already been to the Empire Stadium must mean this wasn't a pre-emptive in this instance. The Code of Conduct does not make having a drink compulsory. <br /><br />Shouldn't you have thanked your marmalade munching friend for Mr McNamara's efforts at eradicating York City from the football league?<br /><br />I think Arsenal fans try to be well wishers without realising that they are all actually patronising cunts. Had I not been in deep shock after we won their a few years ago, I think I would have acted very differently to the polite applause.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-11719530744647104892016-05-30T21:55:10.879+01:002016-05-30T21:55:10.879+01:00Top Blog - Lol at the Doric Arch Code.
