Let’s get this straight from the start. I don’t care if they do have Norfolk DNA, the chicken balti pies are a key component of the matchday experience. Unless Delia pays the going rate they are staying put. The fact that she has said that her budget for the summer is a poultry, I mean […]

Now I know what you’re thinking. We celebrated the 250th birthday of Guinness a couple of years back, didn’t we? Well, isn’t 252 more impressive than 250?
