I'm a Red stuck in West Brom country. All the kids I teach are Baggies fans so would love to get them home or away.

Sorry to hijack the post, but would you be from Bowral in Australia, bowralbob ? I live pretty close-by if you do; would be nice to say hello to a fellow fan down under !
We are leaving for the UK on 30th August. Looking forward to seeing four matches before we return to OZ.
Where are you?

Rodborough Primary school 1962-1968,then Marling grammar for 1 1/2 years.
Saw my first Swindon match in 1961 and was a season ticket holder until late 1970's. Emigrated 1984 but still love the town and go back as often as we can. See about 7 or 8 matches a year.

Those were the days!
As a kid we walked up from the station via Manchester Road without a care for our safety, but I don't feel the same way today.

Man C or Chelski at home please, I detest these two teams and it would be great to kick them out of this cup.
West Ham away would be great!

Unless I have missed a thread (easily done) it doesn't look like the Predictions League is going to be run again this year. A shame because SAPFan did a great job.
Old Stager has already posted this before, but there is a great predictions League at UKFPL http://www.ukfpl.com where each week you have to predict 10 scores across the Prem and Football league.
Good result last night - Williams looked great. (Bodin who?)
