In the late 60's- early 70's we had a shortage of 'local' rivals, Orient being the only London club in our division. That's why teams like B'muff were seen as rivals and other southern clubs, especially those on the up, like Luton became fierce rivals, because they brought travelling support...
Am I the only one for "Gold" (formally Capital Gold)? Plays mainly 60-80's music but even the odd hour of 50's goes down well. DJ's are not as old as the music so not always bumbling on.
I listen mainly in the evenings and from midnight until 6.00 there's no DJ's and only a few adds. Nearly...
I think the shops time was up when the decision was made not to sell tickets there.
Without selling tickets, a very useful service, there was no point in using the big window space to advertise games and hadn't they also withdrawn discounts on stock? Club seemed to do their best to discourage...
I thought it was also the staff 'canteen' with quite a few working at the Amex. Last time I was there on a non match day, Derek Chapman was also lunching.
Incidentally, is the East Stand still hosting the college kids? Apparently they served up to 100 during term time weekdays, with some very...
Yep, pretty scarey with the locals!
Sunderlands young star was Scottish teen sensation Ally McCoist, but it didn't quite work out. Sunderland had just been relegated and us promoted so winning up there showed we meant business.
We've had a makeshift side with star players out long term and the midfield relying on the likes of Ince & JFC, who have very little experience. Yet they have come through and looking like real prospects.
Now we are in a good position, injured players are coming back and previously untried...
It's before Marlowes time & I think it's Eddie Spearitt, although the blond John Templeman is also playing.
I remember a special train taking hours to get there and then loads of Albion marauding through suburban streets. The ground was awful, Albion were awful, but we were certs to win the...
Have some great memories of matches between us, especially at the Goldstone (except for one I can't remember!) and at Eastville. Certainly think we are clubs of similar standing & potential and I too hope you get the chance for a visit to our fantastic Amex.
Ours often looked a hopeless case...
