I'm not the least surprised at TUFC's administration. I had the misfortune of being in the same form as the owner (Clarke Osbourne) at Sodbury Crammer in the 60's. He was a total jerk, an inveterate liar even then, and guess what, his father was on the board of one Bristol Rovers and greyhound stadium, also commercial director. Got his money from his old man after selling Eastville (thereby hangs a tale), gone on to many shady business deals and looks like not finished yet ! Clarke

Oh dear, how sad, never mind !

And if it doesn't we could always sell it to the gash for their new stadium !

Hence you rated Bottham above Prockey ?

You obviously never met him, then !

I remember Western Roadways .

Never go back !

Those were the days !

yeah, and ?

I was stood right next to him, jeez, I'd forgotten all about that !

I think that was the game we lost 3-0 ? Our coach was late arriving and we were 2 nil down before we got in the ground, kinda takes the edge off things !

No, no I'm not having that, he flapped and it went over his head !

It might have been if he hadn't have a dolly put down at slip by "the safest pair of hands in the business" !

Plus.............they're cheaper ?

Ah, I remember coming back from an away game at Blackpool on a "private" coach, when the result came on the radio the whole coach started singing.........Purple Haze !

Not so fast, I've got a revue in !

Like Mike "Smudger" Smith ?

Hope the guy's ok. I always thought even when he was playing he looked 30 going on 65 !

Yes, our generation had them all. I used to love cricket, too much hit and giggle. I don't know half the England players or where they play their county cricket (oh ,that's right ,they don't) and no offence to your lot, but picking someone who's barely played half a dozen first class games, well ! Central contracts ruined the game for me, anyway ! Rant over .

Well those three (if of course they exist) will have plenty of room in the cowshed !

Or somewhere in Hollywood ?

I just wish they could ALL get back for one last bash...............they certainly would be The Worst Band In The World ! I can dream .

In truth, he never was !

We weren't hanging on to a 1-0 lead or else it would have been more like 12 minutes !

They were originally 3/4 of Hotlegs, now unfortunately they are just 2.5 CC !
