Steve Watts Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just mentioned the classic to friend who hadn't seen it. And then realised that there are probably lots on here that also haven't seen it. So I present to you NTTDS's finest moment from the Hartlepool play-off fixture in 2004. Just had tears rolling down my face again at reading it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Constant Rabbit Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The 15 yr anniversary of Johns finest moment. Easyjet still keep his seat empty on every flight, in honour of his dedication to aviational turn-arounds. Truly NTTDS is a god of the sky.

CyderInACan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Not just one of the best threads ever, just actually one of the funniest things ever. For any newbies it should be mandatory reading before being allowed to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDziek Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 15 years ago! Unbelievable. Still must be the funniest thread in the history of the forum! Thank god we don’t have away trips to Hartlepool any more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ok, I've read the thread - still no wiser, highly amused but oddly not at all surprised. Does anybody know what actually happened? NTTDS is definitely a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Funniest thread on any football forum I've ever seen. Close second though was that Millwall one from the guy trying to work out why he couldn't get his seat for a cup game. That one has to be 10 years ago - anyone know where you can read that?!

pongo88 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 John usually gives an out of breath phone in on Radio Bristol as he’s running for the train. If he’d been allowed to do his there and back again flights, he could have phoned in running for the return flight. This would have been unique and he could have explained his reasoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 15 years later and we are still none the wiser as to why NTTDS wanted to do this, or what became of his 20 minute holiday in Hartlepool. cmon @Never to the dark side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god we don’t have away trips to Hartlepool any more though. That play off game was the highlight of Hartlepool's entire League existence. You're glad we don't go there (or Darlington) any more, but we still travel to Middlesbrough and in other seasons, Sunderland and Newcastle.

Just had tears rolling down my face again at reading it! Great memories but it wasn't a play-off. Saturday afternoon and seem to recall we won relatively late on courtesy of a Tinnion screamer. That and the Dags on offer in Cameron's Taproom, heads on the beer two inches above the top of the sleeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
