Agree with most of that, particularly the 90% comment, but wouldn't return in a hurry. I've visited all 102(?) UK counties lately on my meandering. An arbitrary number which means nothing really !
Trying to work out which game this is. Was looking at 30 Nov 85. Beat Leicester 2-1, but we were 2-0 up after 18 mins according to https://www.nufc.com/html/1985-86.html which doesn't match with the scoreboard there. I'm assuming Leicester based on the sponsor? Great pic nevertheless
While I can understand the regional economic argument for more NE teams in the PL, my prejudices crush those thoughts. Local rivalries have never made sense anywhere across the country. That's one of the reasons why football is an important part of the fabric.
