Took me back to my own secondary school days there, Bexley. The 1st XI played in blue and white striped shirts, white shorts and, oddly, red socks but we had eight House teams (named after the original teachers from 1911), all of which played in their own distinctive ‘half and half’ colours …
Pink and black (my House - we were decades ahead of QPR!), light blue and dark blue (my favourite), black and white (boring), yellow and black (liked them), red and blue (OK), blue and green (should never be seen), claret and blue (Wet Spam colours, say no more) and brown and yellow (horrible).
Couldn’t agree more with NW5’s comments about age/sponsors’ logos too. |

‘Leg room was good’: if I won the Lottery I think I’d be tempted to book the W12 hospitality and stadium tour for every home game! Lovely post, York. |

Can I be the first to say that it was a game of two halves. |

Most underrated artist for me is the late, great Oscar Brown Jr.
First came to my attention via Gilles Peterson’s original Mad on Jazz Radio London shows in the late 80’s (Work Song, The Snake etc) and was so proud to have had a hand in bringing him over to London (the first time since 1963) for three nights at the Jazz Cafe in 1991.
I think his talents were so wide-ranging (he was a singer, songwriter, playwright, poet, political activist and beyond) that he didn’t fit conveniently into any one box. Consequently no one quite knew how to ‘sell’ him to a wider audience.
This year is the centenary of his birth and his family are launching a series of events in Chicago which will hopefully go some way to doing just that.

Assuming Charlton don’t beat Stoke in the 12.30 kick-off!
Edit: Damn! Hesitated too long before pressing ‘send’. [Post edited 5 Sep 11:43]

Gone far too soon. There’s a lovely tribute on Facebook by Elvis Costello and his wife, the pianist Diana Krall (couldn’t figure out how to post unfortunately). |

Not the first time the ‘authentic football experience’ has been part of our unique selling point.
When we were relegated to League 1, ‘Real Football, Real Fans’ was the slogan considered most likely to flatter the support base and make us feel slightly better about ourselves. |
