  1. Actually Lincoln is a beautiful city, a cathedral , historical "steep hill" , a castle , some decent pubs and restaurants and a modern vibrant area around the uni' at Brayford Pool waterfront . just saying ...from my visits I think it is really nice. I think you are being a tad harsh
  2. Great game that . I was in the open end with the wanderers fans , but drove from Nottingham with my mate who was a baggies season ticket holder. We had a pint with one of my other baggies mates in a hotel near the motorway . Wanderers players were relaxing playing pool in a private room . " You're not boinging anymore ...You're not boinging anymore' was a popular chant after mcateer scored
  3. Fans are a bit close to the dugout , hope nobody was subject to abuse. Dugout looks tiny and the concrete very dirty. I will go Newcastle
  4. Are they wooden terraces ? It is obviously an awful ground ... Walsall , fellows park , but I cannot recall us winning there I've seen us win at the bescot
  5. Forest v Derby has always been massive . Added spice was that Brian Clough managed both teams and won titles with them . Two European Cups with forest and a a "bribed ref" denying derby a possible European cup final. Anyway it is always a frantic and emotional game . A couple of sheep's heads were thrown through pub windows before a derby forest match a few years ago .
  6. Looking down , is that a cryptic clue , viewed from above travelling to Europe. Only ground I know that is often viewed from above is Brentford who used to paint adverts in the stand roof ( not Ingersoll Rand ,) to catch the eye of passing flights from nearby Heathrow . Oh and it is an old heap of a ground too
  7. I have often said that , but respect to Ian Greaves . I always say " hello Brian" when I pass his statue in Nottingham's speakers corner . bwfc have the most respectful and friendly set of fans on our away travels , they show great respect to everyone wherever we travel too . Locals really look forward to our visits.
  8. I've no idea how i did it either , I think I highlighted the text and clicked "Quote". The Bray Wanderers story is very sad !
  9. Bray Wanderers, interesting article below, a bit of a franchise takeover at the club, something similar to MK Dons / Wimbledon, the name lives on but not the club ... https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/mergers-can-occasionally-work-but-with-bray-wanderers-effectively-out-of-business-its-a-sad-day-for-irish-football-41093400.html Oh and on the subject of BWFC graffiti, there was a lad called Matt, who used to spray "BWFC Matt" everywhere in the 70's I know a story about him breaking into an away ground in London, the night before a BWFC game to spray his tag.
  10. I'm on that video with a couple of mates ( I do have some friends), it was pretty scary when chesterfield played target practice with rocks and stones and the police just let them do it .
  11. Not alfreton , the stand is wrong
  12. When felgate caught a cross and stepped over the line was Chesterfield away .
  13. Yes the little airfield , think it may have been connected with the racecourse. The third goal was a volley from the edge of the area , top corner job , felgate didn't move . A real worldie , worthy of a Brasilian player . I actually clapped a few seconds after realising how good it was .
  14. Belle Vue Doncaster , without doubt the worst ever ground I've been on . We were in a pen on a shallow terrace directly behind the nets , utter disgrace . You had to stand in the pen , the rest of the terrace was out of bounds
  15. That paddock has no barriers , a dangerous bit of terracing with a full house . I haven't been there , I thought Swansea at first , but the end doesn't fit . Non league ???
  16. Actually the ground is really neat and tidy now . County fans have moved to the kop end where the photo was took. Away fans on the side in the Jimmy Sirrel Stand which has a a retro gable on its roof similar to the one in the photo.
  17. just watching football focus BWFC are at home to AFC Wimbledon Boreham Wood Football Club They have BWFC on their club badge . I think I will adopt them as my club for this season's FA cup . Chairman re mortgaged his house to keep the club afloat . They play in white shirts too Just saying
  18. Centre forward pic ... Plough lane ...final answer
  19. Small club , small stadium ... I thought Hereford too . You sure it's not ?
  20. I thought it was linneker ... Filbert street with those railings / cages
  21. A feature, is a clock a feature. Clock end Highbury, I was there for the 3 - 1 FA cup . Fabulous night
