Great stuff right there.
Loved the ads...Toomers was the only game in town for Slazenger tennis and squash rackets
Wasn't old man Toomer on our Board at some point.
Loved the drawings of the Plant Hire equipment. |

They do..
And we won 4-1 so relax.
The issue is that the ref is perfectly within his rights to overule the lino BUT he must not be allowed to perform the role of a human VAR system involving a 10 minute chat with him.
Old school says...immediately overule...blow for free kick and run towards the centre circle...any player running after him chirping wins the prize of a yellow card. |

You beat me to that post.
Bragg is young, enthusiastic and talented. He also offers role flexibility in midfield.
And the key thing...Eckert clearly rates the kid and will smooth his rough edges.
Right this minute, if Eckert says it's so, I'm all in. |

Met my cousin for a catch-up last night and mentioned this thread.
He reminded me that our Mums had been skating the week before it got the living shit bombed out of it in 1940.
He recalled that after 2 G and T's that story put them there the day before the bombing and after 2 more G and T's she claimed they were doing their nifty manoeuvres on the ice when the bomb actually hit.
Clear evidence of the direct correlation between alcohol and bullshit. |

That is so evocative...thanks.
I was a budding bike nerd and was interested to know data like the bikes were 500cc single cylinder 4 strokes with no brakes.
Being young was good. |

You're gonna have to be old because it shut in 1963.
If memory serves it was in a complex with the Ice Rink and a dog stadium.
Speedway was really popular back then and the Southampton Saints won the National League in the very early 60's with legendary riders like Barry Briggs and Bjorn Knutsen on the team.
A bit niche but someone on here might have gone. |

That's how I recall it.
Memories fade but I still remember the excitement back in the 60" being ferried over now and again to take a dip.Would probably gave been less hassle to just jump off Hythe Pier.
A crafty Google tells me there were Turkish baths there but I don't recall them. |

From your previous post it seems there was scope for dubious behaviour involving gaps in sinks and the Ladies loos.
"I have no idea how my phone (in video mode) was spotted in said gaps your honour". |

Made up for the Dobbster.
Has taken some dog's abuse and the only response he can give is a few in the old onion bag.
Another 12 or 15 of those this season and he's an honorary mush. |

I am extremely old but I would need to be to have seen CB Fry.He was 13 when we were formed and died in 1956 at the age of 80 something..
He was really a cricketer and a brilliant one by all accounts. He played a handful of games for us and alarmingly played twice for the Skates.
My top two legends remain Davies and Channon. The latter dated a girl in my class who's old man owned the local riding stables..phuq me, it would need a drive by shooting to liven up that anecdote. |
