F1, The Derby, FA cup and Magic Weekened phew would needed 6 Ferguson Video Stars (for the older people) back in the day to be able to cover all that although heard Uncle Rico still uses Betamax.

Correct on the video in Rico Towers we still have our Sony C5 and a library of vidoes in their red and green plastic 'book covers'.

Decided to abstain from Newcastle this year and heading to York for a weekend of Sports watching through the bottom of a glass. Hopefully Auntie will remember to hit the record button for our game at least.

Hope you set it for long play.

Boring, predictable football. The moneybags team beats the other, slightly-less-moneybags-these-days team.

Not going to lie I forgot about that, was to busy bouncing from the horse race and rugby and F1 qualifying.

I find those two even more boring than football!

Given what's on, the fact Magic attracted the same first day attendance (actually ~100 more) as last year is actually quite good.

And given travel restrictions also I was surprised.
