My youngest son has been to a few games, his mate and dad go and he goes with them, he talks more about the hot dogs than the match!

Pah, we don't watch the match, we talk about the weather and what happened on Emmerdale Farm, I then do a circuit of the ground saying hello to whoever I know, sing a couple of songs then make sure I'm in the bar and out of site of the pitch at least 30 seconds before a goal goes in

Did he follow you to Peacehaven?
Did you live near Coombe Road then?
If you really want chapter an verse of my love in with The Modfather, it began in 1979 Although he was more for kickin a ball around the grounds of Bevendean Hospital than feeding every 10 p he laid hands on into the slot machines of Beavers Nest, The Happy Grill (and Kebab House) and The Newmarket Diner (there's another thread) he was in Coombe rd before me but I've been in BN10 much longer, he's my sons Godfather and I was his best man, In 35 years the closest we've come to a row is me telling him to **** off on this thread!
Sounds like a top bloke to me.
Doc I must have met you as reading this post has brought up 2 more places from my past, I used to play football all the time in Bevendean Hospital grounds, unless the groundsman was having a bad day and he would chase us out.
I went in The Newmarket Diner, or Dinner as I used to call it, we had Beavers Cafe and The Newmarket pub in the last 2 days.

Oh he is, like I said get yer arse up to an evening match and have a beer, we'll reminisce......on second thoughts maybe not....you could turn out to be Martin Miller
I'm from the Coombe Road manor, if you hadn't already guessed
it was a good place to grow up and not full of student houses as it is now.

Opposite Dentsply, next to the entrance to the old Seetyres
Oh, FFS I never want to see that Fulham supporting ( I won't swear) again, he lived opposite a good friend of mine and used to terrorise our lot, he is older than me 3-4 years I think.
Do you remember the truck thing he used to drive, I've forgotten what we used to call it.
Do you remember the morgue?

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but Beavers brings back memories for me too. Got my (maybe even the cafe's) highest score on Phoenix. If my memory serves me right it used to be a bit of a hangout for the C.B radio kids as well when it was the rage.
Used to be a bit sweet on a girl in Milner Road so kicked my heels around that area quite a lot!
Edit: just seen the quote about the morgue (Bevendean Hospital, i assume)- & yes i remember it, & if i ever meet you i've got a funny story about it.
