Is the other player in the picture Nardiello?
Is this the game that finished 4-1?

It could be HTW but I think he had slightly longer hair than some of the others ,reckon It's likely graham Oakey.
And this to keep Simon happy.

Once again reading more into a post than's actually in it, however the Ricoh has never been our home (we've just been the ripped-off tenants) and what I mean by that is it's never ever felt line Highfield Road.

By the way, not against a temporary return as an interim measure until we have our own stadium under our control, purely for financial reasons!

FIFA - FPR PUSB!

At least you are consistant. Just a shame it is consistant bullshit.

The socks make the kit from 78-80 going by historical football kits. When did Oakey finish?

Don't do Bookies much but would that be 8/10 on? thye might get the drift of that.
Click to expand...

You've got it Wingy (4/5 on in bookie speak, iirc). But if that represented the true probability of it happening, then the bookies wouldn't make much money if they priced it that way. That's the bit that footballers don't usually grasp...

Given what's gone on, I'd price getting back to the Ricoh this season more like 20/1 against personally. A chance - but not much of a chance. Sincerely and genuinely hope I'm wrong and Wallace is right though!

Shame a thread with good chat about great times seems to be heading the way most of the others do... But anyway, could the guy in the background be Gary Collier, our then record signing from Bristol City, or was he the next season? Remember this year being the one after Wallace and Ferguson's brilliant 40 goal season when we only lost 2 or 3 at home . We started off really well too ( this Norwich game was the first home game of the season on a warm August afternoon and we won 4-1). We were second after about 5 games if I remember correctly and Liverpool were top when we played them away and only lost 1-0 which was as good as a win in those days! Also remember this game being a week before the world saw our brown kit for the first time at Derby. We won that one too!

My conscience? you cheeky fucker. This club have dicked me around enough to make me realise you cant fight it. If you enjoy watching football (even us) then go to Sixfields. Dont get so emotional. Pay your money, its a leisure pursuit and no more. Treat them with the respect they deserve(none) and watch the sporting club.

so you have been docked around but still give them your money what a plonker is your other name rodney or dave

It can't be Gary Collier. He only played against stoke and Liverpool according to the stats. Different season aswell if this is the 4-1 game.

Nardiello became a copper and he nicked me once for being drunk and disorderly outside a pub in the city centre.
When he was taking my fingerprints he saw C.C.F.C. on my arm and we got talking as you do and then he told me who he was. He was a decent chap but still charged me. So I never asked for his autograph !

Getting a bit fed up of "whispers" to be honest Limey. Every man and his dog seems to have some inside knowledge these days. Fishers dog walker will be the next to have a quote in the CT.

And further to it being bollocks. You would have to be an intellectual dwarf not to recognise that 'things have been happening' Of course they have. SISU have been shafted in court, They have sold less than 500 tickets, Waggot takes his turn to talk like a dick, A loyal player gets shafted etc etc, Things go on!! Things happen. The world moves on. Eventually we will be back at the RICOH because its the only credible way forward.

And when that happens, you will be on here spouting your usual crap about how your insider dealings put you in the know. Your knowledge about anything going on in this mess is about as profound as me predicting that after it gets dark tonight, it will get lighter tomorrow. Whoppe effin do.

Year 1 - 2013/2014 = Gone.
Year 2 - 2014/2015 = Northampton.
Year 3 - 2015/2016 - Northampton.

Now this is where its gets intresting. What will the FL do when there is evidence they have been rumbled and there is no new ground?

There are a further 2 years if needed but they wont be granted by FL as sisu wont be able to build a ground in time. Clocks ticking SISU.

Extend by at least 2 years, happy days.

Did not say, better more positive atmosphere because none of the moaners and groaners we're getting on the young players backs when they made mistakes.

As both my sons said it was 'like Highfield Road before it was redeveloped.

Take it easy and have a good evening.
