In the old days that would be Les Bardsley running on in his warehouseman's coat with his sponge and miracle water !! How times change

just sorted the loose change in my pocket and might go for this

and me Tone but more chance of him going to BCFC. ( Birmingham !)

just looked myself LR, typical BBC, if it aint PL they aint fussed. Obnoxious channel.

quite predictable as quoted in the football Press ' there are 24 clubs in the Championship, 11 fighting relegation, 11 seeking promotion and there are Preston and Bristol City '

some people get all the luck

Cant help but think of the quote I heard recently ' There are 24 clubs in the Championship, 11 going for promotion, 11 avoiding relegation and there are also Bristol City and Preston North End '

Spot on. Many a year when we were in the old third division or later, League One, we dreamed of this. But a lot of us older fans have come to realise that the dream of competing at the top table was given us once and like Halley's Comet only re-appears after many many years !

Once upon a time in my day it was all about going to a game and gazing in awe as your local chairman, ie for us the late and loved Harry Dolman, swept into the car park in his RR, cigar alight and breezed into the directors entrance, getting your Bovril in the East End and watching Big John's Brylcreem slip another past the opposing keeper. Now you have to have a degree in Accountancy to compete on a fans forum. Happy Days now long gone .
