Standing in the home end at halftime at Eastbourne and watching a Dad and his little boy pull out a large disposable BBQ and start cooking some sausages.


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

I can believe all these stories about dead foxes in the toilets, HT BBQs on the terraces, piles of manure outside the away end and being let out at HT to go to a pub.

However, it is a stretch to believe that a team in NL (and a Championship team just over 10 years before) still has a wooden stand built in 1903.  They would never call this their Main Stand would they? 😟

This away day at Kettering in our first season down there.... some home youths were laughably "giving it large"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AKrSBFU7s0

The "funniest" thing that day though was probably a Rob Duffy header that he somehow managed to put wide of a gaping open goal, though fortunately we did manage to get the win ( for Dave Moore as this was after Woods sacking & before Scott & Hurst had come in )

Think of it that we were 110 years ahead of FGRs new stadium idea.

I used to follow Romford in the Southern League back in the 60s
We often had long coach trips to places like Yeovil and this was when drinking loads of urine on the coach was obligatory. The obvious solution was a bucket and on one trip it became particularly full on the way back as some of the guys had been indulging in copious quantities of Scrumpy. So it wasn’t just urine but a fair amount of puke mixed in.
Anyway it needed emptying and the obvious solution was to chuck it out of the hatch thing in the top of the coach. Unfortunately there was another one just a bit further back.....

Or maybe it was just Fosters.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Aussie currency traders wouldn't give a forex for any other lager.



OK, I'll get my slouch hat.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Some town fans seems to pine for those days to come back, but I honestly think the majority of us would seriously have to consider turning our backs on the club, and possibly football altogether, if we went non league again. Dark, dark days.
