Whats skinner alley those side alleys between the terraced houses at Maine road? The other thing about Maine road was its in Moss Side so the black guys used to get you nothing to do with football it was a ghetto and a no go area guns in the 1980's a hell of a scary place. Life threatening and that’s not exaggerating.

Baseball Ground LOL ! Been to about 60 grounds but never Derby. Always remember it on Star Soccer on a Sunday afternoon. Their kit ladies earned their money back then. I think the Baseball Ground was as close as "jumpers for goalposts" ever came in the professional game.

Back then I remember getting a cup of Bovril ten minutes before the kick off and being able to start drinking it ten minutes into the second half.

The women at Plymouth Argyle used to hang tea towels on their tea hut at the away end to tell their colleagues at the home end to bring some more cornish pasties round. Don't you miss such spartan technology? I used to get through 3 of them when I went there. Best pies ever !

The toilets at the Vetch Field was basically a dark cabin totally unlit. You would really have experienced someone pi55ing in your pocket and telling you it was raining. At Pompey/Chesterfield and Walsall there were open air troughs behind a brick wall behind the away end. God only knows where the women went !

The funny thing about those old grounds was there was something honest about them, they were places you just went to watch a game of football nothing fancy, nobody trying to ripp you off with fancy food or overpriced programmes e.t.c and whatsmore the players were honest, they played for the love of the game unlike now where it's just about the money. I know the players are probably fitter and better, the stadiums cleaner and more comfortable and the pitches like bowling green's now but I would go back to the old days tomorrow if I could as football was more important and honest back then and the Clubs respected there fans more and never treated them like customers or clients.

With the new jersey deal etc seems like fsg working away quietly and successfully. I could be wrong but wasn't the standard charter a record and now the warrior deal is also a record?
We'll get there and I think it may be quicker than expected but NOT overnight....good stuff
