Ah this is really sad news about the passing of a fishy stalwart. Never met him but he always came across as a really articulate and informed poster, based on his long and detailed service to GTFC and studying of the game,  with a good sense of humour thrown in.

Maybe The Fishy could consider naming one of the competitions or quizzes, or the poster of the week award after him, or maybe even for his name and years following town commemorated on a brick in the stadium/fan zone.

RIP fellow Mariner.

I’m saddened and shocked by this. It’s really sad news.

Ron was always a knowledgeable, and good natured poster with more than his fair share of good humour. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but that didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

He’ll be missed on here.

Commiserations to his friends and family, and not forgetting you in this Lew.


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.

RIP RRFC

He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

I had noticed that RRFC had not posted in recent months.  It is rare to miss an individual poster.
He was always the voice of reason.  I always read and enjoyed his posts.

Judging by the RR name, he was of a certain age.  Ironic that he supported the club during the recent dire times, and ended with the best of times this season.  Sadly missed.
