Yes a Liverpool supporter who has also been going to the RLPO for nearly 35 years. I actually attend more concerts than matches!
With Vasily Petrenko a very happy concert goer. If only he could play as a centre forward.

Indeed, LM, Petrenko seems to have notches them up a few gearsa since he tookm over! Jolly good to!

Reverting to proper football, James MacMillan is apparently a huge Celtic fan ... in fact, I'm sure there was a photo of him in a Proms brochure some years ago, proudly sporting the club scarf, and posing in his irritatingly ever-photogenic manner outside the entrance to Celtic Park.

Has Oor Jummy never watched Partick Thistle ... ?

That is what I call proper football! Not like the commercial version we get today.

I thought I was imagining how good football was in my yoof

Sorry am as usual got in the way I was referring to the Craven Cottage 1966 clip - what was the final score?

[John Skelton]

what was the final score?

2-0 to Fulham . There's more here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JNj-Gg77rQ

There are some fascinating YouTube clips (Fulham played Austria at the Cottage in 1933! 1-1 draw). I was at many of the games of the 1970s / 80s that are on YouTube - feels like a different world.

It comes from growing up in Fulham, then Hammersmith and Putney and watching Fulham drop in the 70s as QPR climbed (and let us know about it). And the Fulham Park Rangers business left a bad taste. And Mark Hughes and his ambition and ...

... erm, good luck for the rest of the season .

At least you're not a Chelsea supporter! (sorry, Chelsea fans!)

What a lovely little ground, John ...

During my misspent youth travelling around Scotland on a Saturday afternoon to watch football, I always thought Stirling Albion's old ground was the prettiest (wasn't it called Annfield?) but, sadly, I never got around to visiting Glebe Park.

It certainly appears to have the edge on Firhill.

They don't make goalkeepers like Eric Martin anymore.
