Beat the Taff's. Man's a legend

Had an email from Neil a couple of days ago as I contacted him at HTFC. Sound bloke, coming here in September for a one night stand up. I will be going, rate him 100 %

Glad to see Argyle promoted, used to work with a guy, Bob Warren, when I was in the RAF, who played for them. Now passed on. Good for you Bob

Must have one hell of a CEO ?

I'm half Scot so only celebrating it for 12 hours ?

Bert Tann

I know a lot here dont like him but I do. He is the only bloke who makes all his money in the last 10 games of every season ?

Hope to see Colin down the Hippodrome at Xmas. Absolutely love him and one of football's last 'real' characters.

I served in the RAF early 70's with a guy called Bob Warren who played for Chelsea and then his hometown, Argyle. He passed a few years ago so for that sake, I hope they get promotion ( as runners up to Sheff Wed, my other team )

didnt know he had gone Reg

Been going to the Gate since 1958. Its our home unlike the tinkers in North Bristol. Be Happy with it, when we have been top of the prem for 5 seasons and in Europe for the same length of time then start whinging. Lets see football first. Its why I go and not for a day out !!!

Obviously a helpful chap

Thanks, as an ex resident of Alhaurin de la Torre and ST at La Roselada, just started my fossil days !! Ta for advice.

Sadly I cant record on my TV, I am a bit of a fossil in that department !!

That is today's problem. I can only watch the highlights on a Sunday morning. For the past 4 weeks they have been broadcasted at different times, unlike the good old days of Quest when you knew what time they were on. For ITV its about Advertising Revenue and not what sort of viewer it is.

Couldn't you sleep Reg ??

Nice one del boy, I lived on Winterstoke Road and recognised your Reliant Robin ?

Just heard on 1 o clock news. Grew up with Motty commentating. Famous scene in the snow with his Sheepskin Jacket. Will be missed. RIP Motty.

had a ST in the Dolman in those days

wowee

Yep, first year I didnt renew due to working saturdays in new job. Oh well ?

Just check my last post SMTM and I actually admit to supporting 3 teams, City ( always my no 1 team as followed since I was 8 ? Sheff Wed as lived there in my teens and Torquay United, as I love Torquay and Paignton. You could also chuck in Hamilton Academicals as I always loved the name !!

ever since I went to Wembley in 1966 as a Sheff Wed fan ( been well documented on OTIB that I lived there in my teen years), happy we will stay up so.............welcome Everton ?

What a lovely article. My dad took me to AG for my first match in 1958. His dad was from Knowle and an ardent City supporter. Was the days of if you were born north of the Avon ...you were blue, and south....you were thankfully Red. After a few years, we went our separate ways, me to the East End and him to the enclosure with his half brother ( father to @CyderInACan and @SuperDziek) City was constantly a major bond in our life and we did now and then meet up for one of the 'biggies' Luckily Dad and I saw us win in 1966 and again saw us play in the old Division One. So we have been blessed. I lost Dad in 1995 and believe me, it hurt, no longer could I rush home and ring him about our win over ABC team. I had two daughters, neither interested in football, but have a grandson who has just turned 7 and is now ready to take on our legacy. I just have to prepare him for his ordeal he will have to go through !! COYR
