July 22, 20242 yr Not really up for football but going to do the Chorley/Fiorentina double this week. https://www.acffiorentina.com/en/news/all/news-men-first-team/2024-07-22/viola-touch-down-in-england Anyone remember our only season in the Anglo Italian Cup in 93/94? 5-0 Home win over Ancona then 3 draws with Brescia (3-3- at Home), 1-1 at Pisa then 1-1 at Ascoli, saw us go out at the group stage. The first final in 1970 was abandoned with Swindon leading Napoli 3-0 in Napoli due to crowd trouble!
July 22, 20242 yr Author Well Merseyside is another country. Think we had to qualify out of an English group first.

Aye, Hagi hatrick in the 3-3 and the unforgettable trip to Pisa and the San Marino v England game next day, was a long old trip on a coach to Pisa then onto Bologna for the England game.

July 23, 20242 yr A load of phoenix/fan owned clubs wanking each other off. Bury would be well advised to concentrate on their league campaign.

July 23, 20242 yr Yep. Not sure if they won it. But sure, they are in the league they are supposed to be in, mid-table with fucking zero chance of promotion. Meanwhile Bury lost out to not one but two teams from Wythenshawe.

July 26, 20242 yr Author Got my ticket this morning. Looking forward to it. Noticed that one block in the away end lower tier is on sale. Expecting there to be a few "away" fans.

July 26, 20242 yr In. Itialians at home, on Friday night with an excuse for a couple beers. Be rude not to.
