I used to love 'er once. Then they made 'er all-seater (TWICE FFS), and she and I fell out big style. I'll take the Ricoh any day.

My missus was born at Gulson Road. Does that count? ;) However - I DID used to drink with the late great Alec Statham at the Friendly Inn at Frankton (our local when I was a kid/youth). He was still owner of Cov Crane Hire at the time. (Used to use Joe's shop a lot too).

HR - 2 miles give or take. Ricoh - about a mile at a guess on foot (or quite a bit further by car I suppose) although it didn't exist when I lived on Pearson Avenue....

Loved him. He was like a barely-contained small nuclear explosion waiting to go off on the touchline. Characters are needed in the game.

And... 'Tomorrow never comes' And... 'A watched kettle never boils' And... 'SISU are twats' Just a few more famous quotes.

Ditto. Keep the faith.

Very sad to hear this as Tony was one of my heroes. I well remember standing on the 'Mini Kop' not long after he signed for us, and he crashed a superb header against the bar at the other end. Boy, did the Kop go quiet. Rest easy Tony.

Yeahh. My PE postcode means I live in Peterborough, doesn't it? Jeez.

They certainly wouldn't. They own the ground (paying peppercorn 'ground rent' to the city council), and average 1252 per match which is a fraction of the main stand's capacity, never mind the whole ground. The Bears will also be going 'pro' within the next 12 months as they step up to the pro...

So will some of the older ones with that spelling! It's Eusebio. Great player. Clearly remember him being the 'one to watch' in the '66 World Cup.

And even Lincoln City, Boston and Grimsby are more enticing than No Hampton mate! (But I draw the line at Scunny).

Just up the road in Cleethorpes for me please! (Whaddya mean, Grimsby are out? Bugger). Oh well. Old Trafford will have to do then.

Wonder if they'd even be invited?

What position does Mario Lanza play?

Do the LEON thing on a regular basis. Also have some hanging on the bathroom wall which spell SOAK. (usually). However, they currently sum up our Christmas by spelling KAOS. She hasn't noticed yet.....

I think the rugby club might just balk at that!

No point repeating myself Robbo.

Why would it? It's not in Coventry.... If I wish to haul my sorry ass all the way over to Cov to watch a match it'd better be in Coventry - not some backwater that has no relevance whatsoever to the club. (And you can take that to mean Northampton, Ryton or Timbucfriggintoo!).

Gawd I hope not....

Can't get enough of the Orient goal, so thanks for the vine Withers. Perfect!
