From the Ed

With it a birthday free day again we move directly onto the games previously played.

Played – 17
Won – 7
Drawn – 5
Lost – 5

Not too much in it today, but the wins do shade everything else, which makes a pleasant change.

I remember a fair few games with the last two attended; what a contrast. Both wins but one was against Hartlepool at Fratton Park in League Two in 2014 and the other at Wembley against West Brom in the 2008 FA Cup semi-final…

There would have been a Devon Blues presence at Bristol City in 1999 too but the late Ken Malley’s car broke down on the way to the game, which I think was an Easter Monday?

Have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them?
