  1. From the Teknikle Direkter ?
  2. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Godfather 1 Godfather 2 Pulp Fiction Shawshank Deer Hunter Day of the Jackal Good fellas Shows my age I guess, all quite old!
  3. The owner of R & D who bankrolled their rise from the Southern League Midland Division and the rebuilding of the stadium was Max Griggs who also owned the Dr Martens company. No idea why he pulled out ( handed the club over to the Supporters Trust ), but by then they were already in decline.
  4. People who are driving around in winter with their roof box still mounted on the car 5 months after returning from their gite holiday in France.
  5. Yes correct, using that website it shows the kit Big John was wearing was worn by City between 1958 and season 1961/2. So the picture must have been taken in 60/61. We played Brentford on December 10th 1960 at Griffin Park. We lost 2-0..
  6. Yes now it's been pointed out you can see it's the Braemer Road stand, the floodlights along the top of the stand were removed and traditional pylons were erected in each corner in 1963 ( per wiki) so the picture is pre that date. The old covered end kop terrace in the picture was replaced by the distinctive ' Wendy house ' 2 tiered stand in the 80's. I've been several times but after the kop end was demolished.
  7. Being a bit of a ground nerd I'm trying to work out where that pic was taken, it's not AG and he's wearing a City shirt so it must be an away league ground 2nd or 3rd division...Wolves maybe ??
  8. ,1-1 still playing, good point though if they hold out.
  9. Unfortunately FGR have conceded a penalty in the 90thminute
  10. Ah, so IG does get something right occasionally!
  11. No I don't, but then I wouldn't have sacked Nigel or appointed Manning so our current predicament would be irrelevant
  12. Right now if you gave me a binary choice of Manning or King for the rest of the season I'd plump for King every time. I know absolutely nothing about King's coaching skills so that tells you everything about how I rate Manning!
  13. Obviously the Lansdowns won't fire Manning and appoint Andy King - but it's not a bad call if things get so bad that a change becomes necessary, as a caretaker as the OP said. To those saying he's got no experience - neither had Tinnion, Millen, Holden, and LJ had done the square root of #### all, but it didn't stop the Lansdowns appointing those 4. So never say never.
  14. RTV just said James not involved today - is he injured?
  15. Only if we can buy him for £2M and pay him 10 grand a week.
  16. Tinnion is already on it and has said he's looking for a striker with the following attributes: *A big strong No 9 who can bully defenders *Quick enough to run in behind *Able to run and press all game *A player with a proven goals and assist record *Under 23 but with 150 - 200 game experience *Available for a modest fee and wage. *Able to improve and further develop sufficiently to be sold to Bournemouth within 2 years for >£15M Should be quite easy to find , Trust Me on Tinnion
  17. Gary Johnson has now left the club. It's on their OS. Somebody on here will be a happy man tonight.
  18. Clarke Osborne - that's him , he was involved with the Gas & instrumental in selling Eastville to IKEA, tried it on at Swindon, and has been trying to buy Plainmoor ( it's council owned) so he can use it to " fund a new stadium" yeah right. Apparently he never attended Torquay games. A parasite who sees a club in need of financial help as a way to acquire cheap real estate.
  19. Interesting watch.............but I think Manningball just shades it.
