92 Clubs – A Recce to Ipswich

I had to go to Ipswich to have some pictures taken for the 92 Clubs  challenge.

Here’s a few I took from Ipswich Station to the ground.

As the pictures were all taken from a similar position, it just shows how close the station and the ground are.

The Garage Where I Parked My Bike For Spurs

This is a better picture of where I used to park my bike to for Spurs in the early 1960s.

The Garage Where I Parked My Bike For Spurs

Salubrious isn’t it! Obviously, the two shops either side have seen a makeover, but the garage certainly hasn’t.  They have removed the sign that said “Slow Down to 50 mph. Through This Gateway” and added a litter bin.

Such is progress!

Formula One to Iran

I never thought I hear these words together, but then some of those who work in Formula One have a different set of morals to those that I do!

I doubt it will happen, but read this piece in the Telegraph. Here is the update at the end.

UPDATE on 08/09: Bernie Ecclestone, F1’s chief executive, has now played down the possibility of a race in Tehran. “It’s not a question of politics,” Ecclestone said. “I’m not political. If a country is peaceful and safe then that is fine with me. But we have three or four countries waiting their turn. I don’t think Iran is top of our list at the moment.” Of course, Bernie has never been known to perform a U-turn.

If you could read Bernie’s mind, you’d make a fortune.

  4. Gateshead
  5. Grimsby Town
  6. Lincoln
  7. Newport
  8. Scarborough
  9. Workington Town
  10. Wrexham
  11. York

This isn’t a complete list but the others are easy.
