Thanks Saffa. Impressive appearance from the subs bench.
Your report captured the excitement of the match and the sheer pleasure of being there as an R's fan. I loved the line, 'Woodman is helpless and dying of thirst as the giant Irishman makes no mistake'. Brilliant!
I lived there when it was newly built from 1980 - 1985. Never felt that fans cutting through was a problem then, although I am biased and attended all the matches myself. Very convenient as I'd get home in time for the classified results if I left the ground on the final whistle.
Well deserved recognition for a man who has made a huge difference to so many young lives. Congratulations Dr Mark Prince.
Nice to see another one of our own (my footballing hero) Stan Bowles also get a mention when remembering those we have lost in the past year. I just wished they had used a photo of him in the Hoops (in which he excelled) rather than in an England shirt.
“ But a lot of sports regulators are very scared of losing control. They think the best way of having control is to do things secretly. My view is that doesn't work in the long run. It makes people suspicious of you.”
This is exactly the point that Clive makes with regard to Nourry. So applies to senior management in sports as well as regulators.
Thanks Clive. I’m away for a few days holiday in the sun so didn’t see the match. Your report articulately summed up the reactions I was following live on the forum match thread and included a healthy dose of realism.
So pleased for you and all the dedicated fans who follow the R’s all over the country. It’s results like these that must make it bearable. Hope we are not all brought back down to earth with a bump on Saturday!
Just realised I was out of the country for the Luton win too. Maybe I need to stay away!
I wish him well in his new job. He's a good guy and we'll always have great memories of his time with us as a player, especially the day at Rushden & Diamonds!
