The National Space Centre is a really good place to visit. Apart from that, they are a bunch of cheats who denied Pat McMahon a perfectly good goal. Not that I bear grudges.

Nice one Mr Woodhall.

And what Andy said.
About Pat McMahon.

Was that the one hat hit the stanchion and bounced out again ? The stanchion seemed to be about 18 inches from the goal line. The whole place was a bloody nightmare in those days.

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.

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.

Good read hope we don’t lose, this site is likely to go into meltdown, following our exciting last day transfer business.
