What’s the furthest away trip next season? Southampton, Portsmouth or Brizzle City? Cardiff and Swansea aren’t the easiest to get to either

Not sure about mileage, but in journey time, it looks like it’ll take at least 14 months to get to Southampton. 👀

How difficult would it be to chestwank with wings?  🤷‍♂️

Oh dear, left out of the Poland squad for the Euros 😂😂😂

Well, that's what comes from playing for a L1 club.  He's only got himself to blame, I say!

Well there you go then...that more than befits the multimillion investment of his entire fortune to revive the club.

But it's symbolic.
The "Welcome to my stadium".  The link to ye olde BBG.  The transition.  The deliberate lack of pretentiousness.  Grand without the grandeur! 

Come on... open your eyes... This is so very Lionel.

Yes I’m aware that you are probably aware, but I also was aware that other people were not aware, so now hopefully everyone is aware, even the ones that have never been to the ground 🙂

I wasn't aware that our readership included those who had never been to the ground.  Are you aware just how preposterous that seems!  If it's true, they need naming, shaming... and laming!  BOOOOOOOO!

Yes.  Was aware.

I knew someone that used to know him and he often spoke about how generous and kind a man he was. 

There should definitely be something at Pride Park that honours his memory.

Dunno what you're on about. 

That 'Edited just now by maxjam' was for a completely different typo.

Two way street mate.  Check out my own edit!   Ha!

Probably more like hundreds. 

Happy to take sole responsibility for it too, if it makes others feel better about themselves, and their own perfect approach to life.

Big Club my arse!

This ain't no way to treat away fans...

Can we stop going on about bloody Villareal yet?

But wait... there's more to discuss here...

Out of nowhere, whilst away camping in Bruges, Easter 2023, I had severe pains/restrictions with both shoulders.  Bad enough to keep me awake for 3 nights running, until the Belgian pain killers got into my system.
Literally didn't have enough strength in my arm(s) to raise a hairbrush to my head, or raise one arm high enough to wash my armpits, without help from the other hand!  😲
Could just about manage to brush my teeth and/or shave, but it was a struggle, and not pain free!  I couldn't reach any higher.  Muscles had shot it!  

Bro in law recommended a chiropractor following decent results on his back.
I was sceptical, it has to be said.

Due to the recommendation, my initial appointment/scans/assessment etc was free.

I had trapped nerves in/around the shoulders/upper arms.  "Tech neck" (I've always stooped at the shoulder, to be fair).  A slight sideways curve of the spine.  And a leaning of the hips (One higher than the other).  (None had caused me any grief prior).

I then signed up initially to a set of 6 x 15min appointments (Worked out cheaper than paying for one at a time).  Two per week to start with.
More scans/re-assessment showed we were heading in the right direction.  (Which I could feel for myself, I hasten to add!).

I continued another set of six at one per week.  More improvements followed

I've continued since, but whilst the improvements continue/problems desist, the gap between appointments get wider. (They don't rip you off, and it helps to avoid dropping back into old habits!)
My last appointment was a fortnight ago, and I'm not due to go again until mid August.

Now... of course... there is the small matter of self help.  I'm now into doing certain stretching exercises for a good 5/6mins each morning (even before my coffee!) and again in the evening.  But it's them that advise what stretches to do, and how/when to do them.  It ain't willy-nilly or hocus pocus, and I'm happy to continue to get expert advice.
The incentive is purely based on how much "looser" I feel now, compared to Easter '23.

And I'm amazed that they can actually feel (externally) where the tight spots are (internally).  They also do a cracking massage, when needed.

... Oh... nearly forgot... midway through my first batch of treatments, I proper did my back in humping my F-I-L's (God rest his soul. xxx) mobi-scooter into the car boot.  They sorted that for me too.  There was no problem with them diverting from shoulder/neck treatment to back treatment!  (In reality, it was a bit of both, all within the 15min appointment).

Without doubt, they have worked wonders!
Without doubt, it has thus far proved to be worth every penny.
Without doubt, I would highly recommend...

(I go to Chester Green.  They also have one somewhere in Chello).

Happy to PM my real name, if it helps anyone get a free assessment.  (No idea if they still do that, or if it was a special/temporary offer?)

*MODS:
Apologies if the above blatant advertising is against forum rules.  Happy to delete the lik, if prompted!  🤷‍♂️

We had one(?) around our garden shed, (c. 6-7m from the house) also feasting on fallen bird food.

Job No 1 was to block it's path/effect a detour.  It doesn't necessarily need to be impenetrable.  They simply hate change apparently, so anything that may re-route them (to the neighbours!) helps.

Sadly our second job was to cease all bird feeding, so as to remove the temptation.

12 months have since passed.  No sighting and/or evidence of ratty returning.  🤞

90/91 = 30,628.

That was the first time of achieving that figure since 3 consecutive seasons above 30k in the 60s.

I knew you wouldn't let me down mate.  Cheers.  😉👍

It bothered me when we got promoted and just tuning into the playoff final highlights to enjoy watching leeds players cry I see it about again on the official flags; “we stepped up”. What faux Americanised drivel is this? Anyone else unnecessarily bothered by this, or is it just my age and lack of sedatives?

 

/rant

It really doesn't matter mate. 
Just as long as the players don the Derby County uniform, and stick their cleats turfside on the field, we'll be reet.

Nothing to do with how you've faired over the years or how successful you've been...Leeds would get 30K plus in any division I'd say and so would Sheff Weds because they are big clubs big fan base and lots of tradition

 

A quick check* shows Wendies have just averaged c. 26,700 in The Championship.  
In 22/23, it was c. 25,600, admittedly in L1.

21/22 = c. 22,900 in L1
20/21 = N/A
19/20 = c. 23,700 in The Champs.

I then considered checking to see when they last averaged your "30k plus", but I feared that may waste a good chunk of my Bank Holiday Monday, and let's face it, I've already made a point with the above info.
