Do we know for sure whether the Cheltenham Festival helped spread the virus? Or is everything just anecdotal evidence?
Think it's pretty hard to demonstrate these links for sure, but it doesn't seem massively sensible in hindsight. Likewise the hundreds of thousands strong women's march through the streets of Madrid days before things kicked off there.

Yes, this will happen. The virus will spread and at times will get to people who will need hospitalisation. Hence the tactic of flattening the curve. It's not to stop the virus, that horse has already bolted and theres no turning back. It's purely to ensure that people who need the hospital beds get them and the care they require to get through the infection.
The collateral damage by the virus to other patient admission that require urgent hospital visits & stays,that have now been stopped,is a huge issue that is off the front page in the fight against Covid-19.

Terrace are releasing this glorious shirt with all proceeds going to Exeter City for financial help during the pandemic.

The Terrace is becoming my favourite company.

I have an original somewhere. That said, despite its glorious history, it's far from my favourite City shirt – imagine the furore if we were to have a shirt without any kind of club badge on it today!

Back in those days, the players arms weren't a sea of tattoos either ! Lol.

I don't mind tattoos providing they have some meaning to the person 'wearing' them. Often it's just mundane predictable body art done simply because the person thinks it looks good. Which is fine. Each to their own but I like to see a tattoo of something and know that if I ask what it's all about they will have some special personal story about why that particular tattoo.

At one time a few years ago it was popular for blokes to get a tribal / celtic type emblem done on the top of the arm which I found embarrassingly predictable. It was just fashion and everyone had one so others followed. No originality or sentiment whatsoever. It didn't even look good. Looked like meatheads.

We don't know for sure, but it's highly likely. A load of blokes shouting and screaming for their nag to win must have sprayed out more spittle than Roy Hattersley.

There is no way i'd part with 40 quid for a shirt without a badge and a sponsor. Shirts without sponsors look sunday league and without badges look even worse.

Did anyone who paid for a advance train ticket get their money back ?

Normally it’s impossible to get money back for cheap advance fares,once purchased.
