I was looking back at my predictions and how I could be top of L1, when I had none of the top 5, in any order. Somehow I had three of the bottom 5 in the correct places = 9 points!

Off the pitch, nice to have a decentish clubhouse with tables and chairs, not too fancy, not too shabby either. Stewards and police didn't really get much right. I'm not too sure what they thought they were expecting, possibly a reenactment of the pub riot following the postponed Kettering game last...

Other strange out of positions were one of our defenders up in attack, then minutes later, Constable tracking back in defence and trying to clear for a throw in, making a wonderful pass up the line for the Crewe players.

Re:

Anyway, it’s nice to be back home again at last (having stayed over the border last night) and on reflection I really liked Crewe. A big car park right next to the ground with PROPER exit routes, a wonderful view from the away end of a massive stand (Crewe have a quarter of their stadium at a Premi...

That was my first visit to Gresty Road. It is good to have a ground 5 minutes walk from the station. I had a quick look in the club shop to buy a badge and was impressed by some of their souvenirs - etched crystal glasses and tankards. A bit more classy than our shop with its garden gnomes. Pre-matc...

Re:

I remember the previous home game against Swansea, which we won 3-0 and after every game there was a huge chorus of &quotKemp Out&quot from the celebrating Oxford fans. And Vale equalised about five mins from time, so not quite the last kick. I'm not sure whether someone brought this match ...

Aldershot are good with drums, they use it/them occasionally during the match and everyone knows the songs they are building up to, so it works well. The rest just seem to be used to make up for the small number of fans, and from the top corner of the North Stand it does make a lot of noise and can ...

Why can't or don't the club allow people outside the stand at half-time? Is this only a problem in the East Stand? I haven't been in the other stands for ages so can't comment.

One of the stewards was confiscating cigarettes on Saturday, so it seems they are taking some action.
