New Dawn Fades

Just watched PW’s pre-match Pompey. Highly verbally intelligent as always and a lovely tribute to the fans and Pride Park at the end which moistened the eyes. It’s not over yet I know …but regardless of whether we get play-offs or not, what are the 3 stand-outs which will stick in the memory for you for League One 2022/23; they don’t have to be positive, just stand-out and season-defining. Mine:
1. David McGoldrick - sublime. I used to watch Charlie George like a hawk and still marvel at the memories. Didzy is up there with Charlie for me. Wonderful feet and vision and contribution which will stick in my memory bank. 
 
2. Standard of Refereeing: All I’ll say is that it has on the whole been like one long episode of the League of Gentlemen & Inside Number 9 rolled into one. Port Vale at home!?! What did we do to deserve these refs? They are caricatures of themselves. 
 
3. Max Bird away at Cheltenham - 2nd goal - “he must have a foot like a trac-shun-En-gin!” …What a goal. 
 
If the season ends on Sunday 7th so be it. I’ve really enjoyed it and we have next season. 🐏

Like your attacking style sir, see you in the Brunny in a few hours.

I am sure that most of you are aware of the rail strike this Sat but just in case. I was coming from Tamworth for my normal early start in the Brunny & there are no trains running this route all day. I have checked & there are no replacement buses planned either at the moment.

Hi, First time poster but long time reader. Lived in Tamworth & surrounding villages all my life & used to get taken to Villa Park by my grandad. Then a school friends older brother took us to the Baseball Ground in the late 70's for a midweek game under lights & it was no contest. Was a Popsider & now East Lower from that day forward.
