Latest Admission To Kop

[ShockingBadBuy]

Last season I managed half-a-dozen late arrivals and got in for all of them. The best (or worst, depending on your viewpoint) was Crewe on Good Friday when I arrived with 23 minutes left on the clock. My usual Kop turnstile on John Street was closed which was a shame as this had been my point of entry at all my previous late arrivals. I couldn't find a steward either so headed off along Shoreham Street working on the assumption that if I got as far as the South Stand car-park I would eventually find someone who could let me in.

In the end I got as far as the turnstiles on Shoreham Street, and to my delight there was one solitary turnstile open. Still no stewards around, I scanned my season ticket and in I went. On the other side I finally found a steward sitting on a stool enjoying the sun who just about noticed my entrance-with-rucksack and told me not to blow the place up if I had a bomb in it.

As I took my seat we were winning 2-0; ten minutes later it was 2-2 for which I bore the brunt of the blame. Thank-you Billy Sharp for a late winner that day.

Another instance where the much-requested multiple-like button is required. Hats off to ya, as always.

You getting to see the 'Wind in May ?

I need to, although I am nowhere near enough organised yet. Probably squeeze in the London date (assuming there is one of course).

Ah yes, the legendary Roundhouse, the setting for Greasy Truckers Party and the original recording of Silver Machine on February 13th 1972, which was my 6th birthday as it happens.

Woman at 73 Cherry street used to charge a shilling to use her ladder in my days as a kid. Give it a try but she was about 75 then
