Not unless you can show it's the same people and the reason they've returned is a rekindled interest and not any other reason.
All you are doing is virtue signalling - look what a good supporter I am...

Then you'd be making a rubbish argument

I'd probably get to a few Halesowen Town games for the same reason as minesahartington. Nearest club to me other than the Baggies. Four cracking pubs within a five minute walk of the ground. 

I'd finish my 92/72 - or 52 or however many are left by then!
Then I'd go back to my first love Ofton Town. 

I'll trust that the Punjabi Rams know what counts as racist.

I would say that is about as hard as it could have been in this round.
Great draw, proper football ground, proper football fans, perfect away trip for a midweek game... could even be a decent crowd.

Yes.
St Austell Brewery have added to their range of Belgian-inspired beers (Sayzon, Cardinal Sin and Bad Habit) with a collosal quadrupel called "Divine Intervention" which tips the hygrometer at a solid 13% abv. Not available online yet, apart from as part of a box set, but I picked a couple of dozen up from the brewery a couple of weeks ago. Very nice indeed.
Also, one of the guys from Antwerp who used to work for Kurt at Belgiuminabox, Kimo Massart, has started his own company up called Belgianbeerbank. I put a delivery in through them last week and it came through in just 6 days, which was quite impressive. I picked up the following:
2 La Trappe Tripel 2 Rochefort Tripel Extra 2 De Koninck Tripel d'Anvers 2 Gouden Carolus Tripel 2 Kasteel Tripel 2 Achel Trappist Blond 4 LeFort Tripel 2 Saison Dupont 2 La Trappe IsidOr 2 La Trappe Quad 2 St Bernardus Tripel Total price was €90.20 including all taxes and delivery, so basically about £3.10 a bottle.
He also included a complimentary Tripel d'Anvers glass, which was as welcome as it was unexpected.
 

We’re at a brilliant place in the Custard Factory in Digbeth called Chase and Counters. It’s a board game bar so we’re playing Scrabble and their beers on tap are top notch. I’m having two halves, both Deyas - a Steady Rolling Man and Magazine Cover. I’ve only got into Deya recently but all the beers I’ve tried have been excellent. First couple were strong DIPAs and TIPAs but these are much more sessionable but still v tasty.
 

Mods, apologies for a personal thread and please feel free to delete this one.
I just wanted to say a thank to to @GenBr. @RoyMac5 @angieram @Miggins @archram @Steve How Hard? and @sage amongst others for their kind comments and emojis. Sadly, my mum, a West Brom fan, didn’t make it and we lost her early this morning.?

We stopped away trips after getting fed up with some of our own youthful 'ultras' refusing to move out of our seats one game and the next, getting smacked in the back by one of our fans who was so off his face after we scored he started a one man mosh pit, arms and fists everywhere. Actually preferred away days when our support was poor numerically but seemed to be louder and more positive vocally. I'm definitely getting old!

Just 68 and I can't hear his name without thinking of that marvelous Ipswich team of the 79s and 80s. 
RIP.

What I do admire about Southgate is his management of this tournament. 
What I mean by that is we have seen no pictures of wags for instance, I saw a post by Dark Fruits earlier in this thread quoting the greats from earlier tournaments, your Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney & Ferdinand etc and they were fantastic footballers but man, what a circus they brought to the party.
Yesterday I read about one wag taking the seat of someone else so she could be behind another, higher profile wag, to ensure she would be in any photographs the paparazzi used. I mean really. ?
Southgate has seen to it there have been no such distractions. I bet Sven wishes he’d managed things differently at the World Cup in Japan. I know it could be argued his squad contained higher profile names than Southgate’s but I remember Beckham entering a press conference he wasn’t involved in to interrupt Eriksson mid speech which to me undermined the manager. That was his weakness, he let the big names run the show.
Southgate has no publicity seeking twits in his squad which I think has helped him immensely. I do have reservations about certain stuff, playing style-wise but hey, look where he’s got us and my gung ho preference would probably see the players on their holidays by now and not preparing for a major final so I must concede he knows a damn site better than me but I just wanted to acknowledge his management is not just about winning games and while he’s doing well on that front, everything else he’s doing from selecting a good backroom team to keeping the players occupied between games seems to be spot on an’ all.
Best of luck to him and his team tomorrow, I think a win would go a long way to giving the nation a much need boost. 

At a time when Derby routinely make me miserable this England team is a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely love it.

Makes me laugh that people still don't rate Southgate. We have made it to the world cup semi final and the euros final. They call him lucky. You can't get lucky that many times. He makes bold decisions and it works. He's tactically switched on, learns from his mistakes and has created a brilliant culture in this England side. He deserves nothing but respect.
