Also one of my mates said if it wasn't for my grey hairs i would look like big john. I said I wish I could have played like him. Also for Non competitive games Atyeo scored an extra 50 goals, so it would have taken his total to 400 goals and 700 appearances. Games like friendlies, Welsh and Gloucester cup etc. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/goal-den-wonder/story-11244492-detail/story.html Didn't like the line in that link that said he was "shamefully and embarrassingly neglected by the club" - what was all that about?!

I don't know, my guess is that maybe Atyeo wanted the managers job in 67 but didn't get it. I am sure someone here will know the reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that we may need to wait until a significant number of people (c. 40) have indicated an interest, so that one further full ring of names can be produced. If we do go ahead, the price will be as previously £100 per 'slot' (a maximum of 25 characters, spaces included). The money will go to the club to offset their share of the statue costs.

I don't think Atyeo ever harboured a wish to become a manager, he returned full time to teaching I believe, with Biff Newman as one of his pupils. I think the 'treatment ' was more linked to being refused tickets for games etc, which I believe was more to do with Harry Dolmans successors....though I may be wrong. I think there was some talk of him joining the board at some stage as well...but again I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted November 13, 2016 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I am pleased to report that by popular demand it is now possible to buy further name 'slots' on the Atyeo statue plinth. This will be possible until 30th November and will be the final batch of names to be added. Our intention is to get them onto the plinth in time for the last game before Christmas on 17th December. Full details and a link to the form for making payment and specifying the name to appear on the plinth can be found on this page on our website.

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted November 13, 2016 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great stuff. A mail will go to our database of around 8,000 fans on Monday morning and Adam Baker has just kindly tweeted the news for us as well, so hopefully everyone interested in adding a name to the plinth will get to hear about this last opportunity to do so.

Ivorguy Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great news. Just paid for a plaque via internet. Easy to do. All they need is your wording for the plaque and your bank card details. You get a confirmatory email by return. Well done all those involved.

The Chaplain Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Not having been to the ground since the unveiling, I'm still not sure if my plaques have the correct wording. I was hoping to include my sons 2 grandfathers, but wasn't asked precisely what wording I wanted until, I fear, it was too late and so it may be just mine and my sons name have been inscribed. Might this be an opportunity to get it corrected if needs be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I never like to be critical of people who've done great work as volunteers, perhaps why I didn't nag more or chase up, but I don't think I had a single email apart from responses to me chasing up about payment details - never mind.

Click on the link and don't say I didn't warn you As Dollymarie says, Wednesday is the ABSOLUTE deadline. We have had over 230 new people book names on the plinth in this second round, so we have our work cut out to get everything done as planned for December 17th. However, the engraver is all lined up and we are confident of achieving that deadline. It would nevertheless be helpful, if you are still intending to buy a 'slot' on the plinth, if you could so sooner rather than later. Today would be great. A minute before midnight on Wednesday would not be that helpful. Cheers! Here's the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
