First Game

Chelsea 2-1 Leicester City

Scott Minto and Mark Hughes for us. Frank Sinclair with the obligatory own goal for them

Best Game

19.05.2012. Munich.

Worst Game

Leeds United 3-1 1998
Put out the reserves on a Tues night. On my birthday. Saw Laurent Charvet's only ever contribution though.

Memories say it all.

Soulless bowl. Just like Derby, Coventry, Swansea etc just with different reds seats. Smack bang in the middle of a chemical waste plant. Ballache to get to at the best of times.
