I should add the experience of the queuing, etc. probably depends on what time/day you are going - I saw on Twitter that they turned people with tickets away yesterday because of a private function,which seems pretty mad, but it was probably someone important like the Man City chairman or the Joker.
We were taken in at the time we were allocated (1.20pm) but definitely didn't get to the actual tapestry until at least 2pm - during that time we saw the introductory videos and then queued for a while inside as people were already viewing the tapestry.
One final thing - the staff say you can overtake people and then go back and see bits you have missed but this is patently untrue and no one took it on board. Just keep shuffling along.
We were fortunate to be behind two people who were going quite slowly so we could just blame them for our slovenly pace.
The exhibition book is great too as it allows you to pore over the extra detail and historical context afterwards in your own time. [Post edited 1 Oct 15:50]

Unsurprising, particularly when you have the unelected PM defending them. |

We went on Sunday. Before you go in they say you will only be in there for 40 minutes but we stayed for nearly two hours (including queuing). The staff continually tell people to keep moving, fill any gaps, etc. but people generally ignore them and go at their own pace. We definitely had enough time to see every panel properly.
They have designed it really well inside and the atmosphere, videos and way in which it is presented is great.
Fortunately, they have prohibited photographs but inevitably there was one idiot who was still taking photographs before we got to the main tapestry. Unfortunately, they didn't taser them. |

This is the thing. Someone said Chelsea got a light punishment because they admitted it but the whole thing is a joke. The integrity of the competition is completely gone - we have rules but you can break them and win multiple titles.
Unless City receive a serious punishment, it's a busted flush. |

Quite a lot of conspiracy theories on Twitter about us throwing the game. Clearly, they've never seen us play. |

They should be relegated, ideally to the National League, but we know that's not happening. |

An obvious example is what would happen if a cartoonist published a caricature of Muhammad...

Biggest problem is up front at the moment - two out of five strikers in the squad on Saturday. Imagine this team with Nahki up front. |

I was planning to take my wife to Lincoln away but it looks like she'll be going to the cathedral instead if they limit it to one ticket per person (which is absolutely fair). |

Yes. We're top six but only two points better off than Lincoln and three points better than Bolton. This is the Championship - you will drop points against sides you're expected to beat and vice versa.
The positive is we have generally been playing a lot better this season - if we could play better for the whole 90 minutes and get more than 40% of our strikers in the squad, then this could be the season we want it to be. |

100% (bizarrely got down voted for saying that by the kind of person who would suck up to Clive if he said the same thing) - we are still a bit too 'nice'. Ronnie got into an argument with a Preston player in the second half, which was good to see. |

He was excellent in the second half. He stood up and took responsibility. |

And our players should have been far more in his face too. It’s a 50-50, the Preston player goes down like his leg has been amputated and quelle surprise, he's up a few minutes later.
We're still not voluble enough for my liking. Get in the referee's face and tell him he's being conned. |

The ref, who looked like Ronald Koeman's idiot brother, should be launched into outer space.
We were awful first half but fair play, Stephan got us going in the second. Fantastic atmosphere and if Nico had won it at the death, the stadium would have spontaneously combusted. |
