Football (Soccer) Rumours

Hi Doug. I understand all that you say. My father took me along to Chelsea and would, I think, rather I had opted for them than the Palace. But somehow i felt more comfortable at Selhurst and possibly that dog track and distance from the players had something to do with it. Derby’s Baseball Ground was, perhaps, the place I felt really close to the pitch, in that you half expected to get a kick yourself – of the ball and possibly from a Derby fan too!
Of course, I visited the Dell many times. Terry Paine always sticks in my mind as a pain in the ar*e to Palace. The ground certainly intimate, but the loo facilities for away fans had to be seen to be believed. What is the Guinness record for number of people peeing in a single pot?
Possibly my last visit there was after Palace had lose 0-9 at Liverpool in a midweek game. So I wasn’t exactly optimistic going down there at the weekend, but Palace regained some pride with a 1-1 draw. Never got to St. Mary’s, but think my three sons have been there. My middle son, in particular, determined to pass my total for away grounds visited.

Unfortunately Accrington Stanley have had a winding up order taken out against them by those carefree souls at the Inland Revenue so sadly their giant killing days may be numbered [/quote]

Shame

I'm not pointing the finger at Chelsea in particular, but just how daft things have become. Frankly, that example is vulgar when you think how that money might be put to use in the world.
