4 weeks today, 14.00 kick off, first home game of the season, any bets on how long it will take to get into the Steve Bull upper? Anything from 10-30 mins on a normal day - so throw in whatever COVID checks are in place (mask to gain entry, COVID passport at some point) and you can guess the...

Played a blinder on his birthday one year.
