must add that was my best ever away city trip........nice hotel,good company,brilliant sunshine,great day in Antwerp with TJ and "wife to be" and a very close 7-1 defeat with Mark Owen spoiling the Beveren party against "one of the top club sides in England" or so they thought! Twas a great weekend, as you say the best ever with City. I shan't forget the looks of amazement when the mixed grill arrived, or the horse steaks, the wandering through Beveren half cut after an afternoon of sun and Jupiler, the delight when Webby scored - KSK 4 Bezoekers 1 at the time, the looks of horror on the locals faces when we were allowed in their bar after the game. Other funny bits - the Beveren players being told that we were an English Championship team to make them play - they had refused to play when they thought it was against a non-league side. Most of the local crowd didn't know the slightest thing about City either, they spent the first twenty minutes wondering why their team was battering this English side, it hadn't dawned on them that they were several leagues higher in standard and that we were actually playing rather well in the circumstances! The only downsides were the ****hole in the ticket office who wouldn't help, and the ridiculously petty segregation they imposed at the start, making the 21 of us (inc. mostly women and children) stand in the baking sun on the open terrace in case we caused a riot. There's bureaucracy and there's bureaucracy, and this was petty and pathetic, thankfully common sense prevailed in the end. It was 29 fans. & the reason they had the segregation was because their previous game v. Anderlecht had ended in a riot when their fans(They had c. 100 times more fans!) had misbehaved in that same 'cage'. They also insisted we show our passports before admission, but soon calmed down when they realised we  were not all' Brits'! & I even managed to persuade them to store a copious amount of beer in their 'control' room! As for Pre-season...Bring on the vermin, though after last season, guess they're 'chicken'!  |

With a surname like Boogers he can be forgiven a touch of insanity.

Was he related to Bamber Gascoigne?
On the subject of the original post the Non-League Daily says that Bromsgrove Rovers will be playing City (as well as Fulham) in a PSF.
