Yep, remember that too! Fairfax House was the Co-op I think, in the days when they had department stores. And it was the most confusing store I’ve ever been in. You could never work out what floor you were on or how to get out!

Have you ever visited IKEA Dave?

Whatever he decides next,good luck to the lad.

Haha na I’ll get you an executive box mate

Is it true that an Executive Box at the Mem is one that contains in date crisps?

Very generous my friend. Let me know where you are sat and I shall wave my prawn sandwich at you as a mark of my appreciation.

To me,it felt like Steve Cotterell was either leaned on,or felt obligated to give Louis that final appearance to take the record.Just my opinion but SC appeared angry/uncomfortable about handing the record to Louis.

Always enjoyed Woodsy's contributions on here.Condolonces to family and friends.R.I.P fellow Red.

Such a shame. The whole new range of splat Robin and blue training kit is dreadful. The fact it came right after some lovely Hummel stuff makes it look even worse. Hopefully yet another rethink coming soon.

£8000 in 1981 between 2 non league clubs seems a lot!

How did he get on at Maidstone? 

He got on pretty well. Got a bit lost on the way there but this was pre sat nav/Google Maps days,and you know what blokes are like for asking directions.Got on well with most of his team mates,but there is always one isn't there!He seemed happy with the house he moved into. It was in a relatively upmarket area with decent transport links,even though he had a nice car.Top of the range Granada I think it was.Can't remember  the colour  but every one I ever saw was a goldy/ bronze colour with a vinyl roof.Nice shops in walking distance and good schools for his thirty seven children. Apparently he was a big fan of the kit he had to wear too,especially the badge on the front.

Don't know if they have been mentioned before but The Lathums.Lovely bit of jangly guitar which reminds me very much of Johnny Marr.Give em a go if you like a bit of indie.

Good turnout? 

I do enjoy a good turnout.

Your comment was an equivalent of commentators curse as Anthony Gordon rolled more times than someone tripping over whilst chasing a double Gloucester cheese down Cleeve hill. 

I thought that as soon as I finished writing it!

Spanish seem to be extremely good at throwing themselves on the floor and rolling around. They should watch a bit of women's football. They might learn how to get up and get on with it!

Future generations won't have this, the old newspapers found in obscure places, a treasure trove of past memories. 

Old newspapers were indeed fantastic. Especially when they were used to wrap up yer chips.

Thanks for the reminder Bill.Completely forgot about Clive Green going to Maidstone.Heady days indeed.

I got Wally immediately/in less than 10 seconds, although it's difficult to be precise.

I'm still look ing for Han-Noah, though.

Let me know if you need a clue.

Apparently Wally is also doing similar and converting the money he has invested in the club into shares - it works out at around £14.50.

Or 100% of his income.

Took me about 15 seconds to find him.Can anyone beat that?

They should speak to the fans perhaps through a survey to see the types of clothing and merch people would buy.  Lots of good ideas on here and I think most of us agree that there is massive scope for improvement in this area.

I was in the shop the other week and they had very limited stock.  Can the Supporters Trust get involved?

I totally agree,but I would also imagine that if they look back at their annual sales,they should have a fairly good base of things fans want to buy.Use this as a start point,make small adjustments to test the water and see what sales.Dont make massive wholesale changes to what fans have historically always wanted to buy.

It's where we went wrong with the redevelopment.  There just isn't the floorspace for a wide enough range of merch.  Hopefully if the rumours are true about the arena housing a bigger and better shop then we can finally get this sort of thing sorted.

Hopefully the shop will be bigger and carry more stock, but will it be stuff people want to buy?

Perhaps, but I suspect a certain Danny Wilson would have been quite chuffed had he achieved something similar.

As, indeed, would his number one fan.

Would have been nice if he achieved half a double!

It’s a bit sad that ‘little ol Bristol City’ sees winning the MM cup and the league as a ‘double’

Strange.I thought it was absolutely fantastic.
