And what Andy said.
About Pat McMahon.

The National Space Centre is indeed a really good day out its just really odd that someone decided that Leicester would be a good place to build it. Jamie and Rebekha are the perfect match. A right pair of twunts. I'd love us to beat them if only to prevent the younger version Albert Steptoe having a pop at the away end. Horrible little goblin.

That's the one. Along with the Baseball Ground it must have been one of the most enclosed grounds we used to play at. High narrow stands wedged in between the touchline and streets outside.

Post by: Nelly on August 30, 2024, 08:34:58 PM: Good read. I can't stand Leicester. We lost to them in my first Villa Park game, around 95/96. Always held a healthy grudge against them for that. They're actually pretty successful considering they're not a sky club, which only adds to the slightly jealous dislike that I've grown. I hope our long travail is finally finished and we get back to winning silverware again so I can forget about this lot.
