Fantastic.. I knew someone on here would know these chaps. Haha..yes I believe I would have got there in the end with the DIY contraption but by the time I'd have solved it.. someone would have flushed the chain and my phone would have been swept away for ever :lolol:
Whilst still on the Athens high... I'd also like to send out a massive Guy Butters sized thank you to the two BHA legends at the James Joyce pub about 3 hours before AEK KO, who saved my iphone from instant death. Some of you may have seen the social media posts about "Scenes.. as some numpty...
That is very kind. Thanks and my pleasure! Athens went beyond 'just an away day' or a holiday for me. As many have mentioned, who you share it with is a massive factor in why Marseille, Amsterdam or Athens was a particular favourite for people. Sharing the experience with my son (who I only...
I was front row.. right by that post. If it hadn't had crashed into the post and top corner (sparking scenes of bedlam) then it would probably have put me and my mate in A&E :LOL:
Me neither Marseille which was a shame (although would probably have ended up in bankruptcy, divorce, or a clinic if I managed all three). Loved Ajax/Dam but there was no tension in the day/game. Just knew we would win and it was all a bit sedate really... albeit very enjoyable to bunk off work...
Yes.. in fairness it was even better than QPR (never thought I'd say that) and agree fan/club/player connection is phenomenal.. and not something we can take for granted. Wow.. 119 decibels!
100%. We were incredibly loud.. reminded me of QPR away when we knew we were going up. Just sheer unbridled joy. Good job we were loud too as I see the AEK lot clocked 103 decibels (cheers DannyLast). Was at Forest the week before too and thought that was pretty epic too.
Well... one week ago today, I was sitting in a lovely rooftop cafe in Athens with my son, tucking into a wonderful three-course breakfast, the Acropolis to my right and the sun-drenched rooftops of Athens to my left. Both of us beaming and reflecting on a trip of a lifetime and the incredible...
Before last night's insensitive and ill-timed "hitting the roof" comments, I'd want GUS to stay too. Long term success comes from stability (look at nearly every other club in the land and the proposterous managerial change circus). However - no manager is worth keeping if he's constantly eyeing...
Clearly my early criticism of early leavers was not aimed at supporters who travel to home matches from the Isle of Wight!!! That is phenomenal. Ever thought of getting your own speedboat? Hats off to you for that round trip. I'm more bothered by the people who leave early to get home in time to...
Compared to a lot of conversations this morning.. this one is turning out to be sensible. Good points by all - well made. I also heard tales of GP blanking TB at the players do this week. I'm not advocating wild care-free spending, more a continued commitment to build and clearly we are a few...
Fair enough.. £20M might be pushing it. £5m then. But I am more gutted this morning about the potential dismamntling of everything that has been building for 4 years. I can deal with losing to the sc*m as we've had a sensational season, finishing comfortably above THEM and the play-offs are a...
OK.. so think where we've come from since '09. Struggling at the arse end of League One. GUS has transformed the club from the bottom up.. we play great football at times (lightweight still in areas admittedly), have incredible attendances during double-dip recessions, and one of the finest...
Hi, Yes very interested. My brother-in-law is going (and I need one to join him.. seeing as I convinced him to get one in the first place!). Price fine. Where's best to meet you to pay/collect? I work in London midweek but could pick Tues or Weds night? Cheers Paul
