By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor It comes to something when the most fun you had at an away game is being stuck on the Hammersmith & City line for an hour, and missing the first twenty minutes of the match. As ever the lads met in the Railway Tavern in Liverpool Street, doesn’t seem to matter if we are playing Chelsea that’s where we meet. Pretty much six quid for a pint of Kronenbourg…canny. Some of the lads had “worked”...

By Dr. Robin George Andrews Series 9 of Doctor Who premieres on the 19th September with The Magician’s Apprentice. In the meantime, another (lesser known) doctor, Dr. Andrews, has been pondering on the power source of the TARDIS: the Eye of Harmony.
