One of the delights of GH's show are the obscure bands he's introduced me to. I feel your pain about the Countdown experience. I was on "Fifteen To One" back in the 1980s, broke my glasses just before the recording and had to wear some ghastly National Health things that made me look like Spencer out of Phoenix Nights. I then got my first two questions wrong and had to sit there in the dark for the rest of the first round. It mentions my performance if you look up "Ignominious" in the dictionary. If it makes you feel any better, when I auditioned for Fame Academy, David Grant said he liked my baritone voice but grunge was a 90s thing and he was looking for something a bit more up to date.

“Yes, we had a bad day and I think it was clear we weren’t at it, but take nothing away from County, they seized the opportunity, were excellent going forward and deserved the win.” A look back at Saturday’s fantastic victory in the capital with Dave Thompson and Orient’s fanzine editor Mat Roper. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/the-champions-0-county-3Really enjoy reading these especially the oppositions view. Hope they continue next season.

Hope they continue next season. Glad you enjoy them! Any ideas or suggestions of things I could add to them next season, or anything I could tweak? Always open to feedback. I’ll definitely be continuing with the opposition feedback, I agree it’s a decent insight. Could be some good ones next season: “Dear Blackpool fan, how do you feel about County fans ripping down the Tower?” “Dear Bolton fan, what’s it like to get battered at Edgeley Park once again?”

Can Tranmere do us a favour? Unfortunately, when it comes to County needing a helping hand from elsewhere on the final day, there’s usually more chance of Boris Johnson passing a lie detector test, as Sandy McGregor reports. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/final-day-blues

There’s a player song in Talulah Gosh somewhere. Now there's a challenge!

Great read Geordie Hatter. Thanks for introducing me to Talulah Gosh. Thanks Phil. Glad you like them! A cruelly underappreciated band in my view... see also btw Marine Research and Heavenly (NOT the heavy metal band called Heavenly, neither of those like getting confused with each other!). Both of these are very slightly different incarnations/lineups, which came a little bit later on. (I'm feeling at this point it's my mission to convert the entire County fanbase to being staunch admirers of Talulah Gosh by the way. Getting off to a strong start, just maybe the odd 8900 or so of us still to go).

Shows how much work in the background Jim was doing that he was organizing booking the coaches!

This is a tremendous piece of work by the way, Des. A great concept to compare and contrast famous old clubs facing varying fortunes; your sympathetic but searching interview style has really got value out of the fans you've consulted with; and it's all adeptly weaved together with your trademark lightness of touch. Recommended reading for all!
