| I saw Bjorn Again in Brighton in the early 90s with Odyssey (!) as the support act. Would kill to see Odyssey again, they were brilliant live. That said, it's a longer period of time between then and now than it was between then and when they were famous.

| Yep I saw Bjorn Again for some unknown reason at Brad Uni sometime in the early 90s.
I was one of those mock Swedes. Why I went I don't recall as I've never been into Abba.

Was it so you could blend in without the hassle of having to hire fancy dress?

I was at Bjorn Again too. I spent most of it on my friends shoulders. He was very drunk and the next day could not understand why his shoulders hurt so much.
Those where the days....

My now wife (then girlfriend) worked for the union in those days and turned down free tickets for Nirvana. She didn't know who they were. Even though I had played Nevermind non-stop for weeks everything she was round.
I've still not got over it.

| In fact thinking about it we traded festivals. I went to Donnington with her if she'd come to Reading with me. She saw Nirvana at the bottom of the bill at Reading and fell in love and I got hit in the face by a flying bottle of pi55 at Donnington and sat at the back in shock freezing my ass off, convinced I had a broken nose and waiting for AC/DC to finish so we could get on the bus and bugger off. Not an entirely fair exchange.
And then the world went Nirvana mental and I could pretend I was in on the ground floor.

| Does anyone know if season ticket holders get free entry into this round.
Seem to remember something like that over last couple of years but not sure if it still happens.

They stopped that scheme either last year or year before.

| Quote ="RhinoLaney"Puggy,
I was referring to Rochdale the Town.
As for Spotland, I’ve been there 7-8 times with my Football Club.
Just hope you don’t use the same Stewards as you do for the Football…not helpful in the slightest.
The PA system is very loud but as the PA man plays Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and general “Madchester” music I’ll let him off
Parking is awful and it’s miles away from anywhere.
The Pub at the end of the road at the back of the away end is pretty decent.
I would also recommend the Fish & Chip shop directly behind the away end (if it’s open)'"
OK no problem I hope your lot fill the stand as it will allow us to put some money aside for emergencies etc.
Even though we have no 'money men' on the board we have been doing very well and in the last two years we have broken even and even made a small profit last season!!!
It's hard graft but it's better than B & Q or Asda on a Sunday afternoon.
Looking forward to it.
Pugwash.

| There is a small amount of parking at the ground for £3.00,with limited street parking around the stadium but obey the no parking cones or you will get a ticket.As Pugwash says they normally allow parking for the larger matches at Oulder Hill School follow the signs for the Gracie Fields Theatre.

| On Bulls Twitter, Bulls Jnr Season Ticket Holders get in free. TOO LATE! Already bought grandsons ticket. Why the late notification?
While I am at it, my Bulls Lotto form returned by my Bank because Bulls printed their a/c details wrongly on the form.This has been a bit of a shambles with me waiting for renewal form as promised on phone, then printing off form from website because promised form did not come. Now have to go personally to my bank to set up Standing Order because of the error on the form. Bulls have lost about 8 wks lotto from me - and I suspect a few thousand others . #cash flow?

. #cash flow?'" as the account name, but it was accepted with the single 't' so hopefully it will go normally.

Very true.
It's dead easy to do on-line, but it does depend on the details being accurate. I couldn't understand why the form was telling me the bank account I was trying to send money to didn't exist, and in truth I don't understand the 'Lotto' and 'Loto' business at all; it's called Bulls Lotto, so why not Lotto on the account name

| Any advice on where to park when (if) the stadium car park fills up?
That press statement makes it sound like the traffic wardens will be watching the roads around the ground like hawks, and makes no mention of using the school car park like somebody suggested earlier in the thread.

| Anyone got any thoughts as to what squad we should put out on Sunday. In general I'd say you always put out strongest squad available, but we only have a small squad this year so I think we need to take this opportunity to give a few key players a break. Assuming foster,Blythe,Bateman and Evans all return then I'd think along lines of following. Foster or kear at full back with Kearney rested. Addy to partner gale with sammut rested. Evans in for scruton and Bateman in for whitehead. I'd like obrien to get a game too. Probably at l'estranges expense given diskin has already been rested at Easter. Probably too many changes to make at once buth think we need to look at making at least a couple of them to rotate squad a little.

| I think Evans will almost certainly play. I'd expect Gale to get a full 80 minutes under his belt too.
The rest we can only guess until the official squad is released, but if Foster and Blythe are included then I would expect them to come in to get some match fitness.
I'd be surprised if Bateman featured.

| Agree with Nothus, Gale full 80 as i expect him to play vs wire, evans to get a run and if foster and blythe are fit give them some game time.
Not sure about bateman, does he play or do we give him another week off for wire.
Would hope we could rest a couple of players who could be carrying knocks but with our small squad may not be possible.
