Received ‘Come On You Blues’ book by Andrew Preshous this afternoon (from Evil Amazon). Have only had time to flick through as I have a rule to finish the book I am reading before starting a new one. (Nearly at the end of ‘The Vanishing Man: In Pursuit of Velazquez’) by Laura Cumming). Will be interesting to hear responses about the book from the Generation of ‘79. Glory days…

Update - Had a sneaky read of the intro and first few pages. Has the 'voice' of the fan. Relatable. Would be a great Christmas present for the old codgers here (I include myself).

I have read it through to the Christmas games. Although I was playing on Saturdays I bought the Town Times from Coomby’s before setting off and then went to all midweek games Really enjoyable so far.

Glory Hunter 😉 True, but I did go home and away for much of the next 30 odd years. Not too much more glory in all that time , a few seasons / cup games excepted.

We don't get to play at the sheepcourse now due to their inability to get out of non league football. They hardly ever make it to the 1st round of the FA Cup so we have a chance to draw them.

And they wont be playing in the FOOTBALL LEAGUE CUP any time soon, and we dont drop down to play in the FA Trophy. So very little chance of beating them again any time soon. I'll get over it quite quickly though, in fact I already have.

Read it over the weekend, probably a bit biased because I know Andrew, but I found it to be a good entertaining romp through the period.
