It's nice when hooligans and mild innocents can mix as one. Am expecting Palace to be promoted via the play-offs.<BR/><BR/>In terms of teams worthy of note, there are several 'escape stories' that are well worthy of note. In particular, Northwich Victoria spring to mind.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827981433386542298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15083755.post-59606114983434051322008-05-05T00:34:00.000+01:002008-05-05T00:34:00.000+01:00"for no other reason than I drive past the Britann..."for no other reason than I drive past the Britannia Stadium an average of of ten times a month"<BR/><BR/>really?

And one of my mates is a huge fan.<BR/><BR/>Shame I won't be the UK to see more of them next year. I hope the TV coverage is up to scratch in Asia!Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374548021605224698noreply@blogger.com
