I may have used this title before but, let's be honest, it would be apt if I had. Though the headline could just as easily have read...

We're always happy to do requests hence the title of this week's blog. And a) it's indicative of our day and b) unsurprisingly it's the...

As is the case with festivals, we are on a quick turnaround and it's a case of out of the door at 8am, bet all day, crawl out of the car...

As is my festival wont, I am writing the preamble the night before so I have no idea, at this point, how we've done. I do know that,...

Last year we didn't take enough to make this a workable meeting. Newcastle weren't playing that day until 8:00, if I remember rightly, so...

I used to play footy quite a lot in my younger days. I had a mate who played a lot too - great guy, my best man in fact, and, despite...

Another week, another Ladies Day. We chose to stand in the middle by the picnic marquee, the pitch was near the bar and, probably more...
