Mad Jack Sprag great name for a barber got told he'd put a bowl on your canister and just chop round it never actually saw him do that .

Lose the sense of the value of money,the mother in law gives her grand kids 50p for a pint I wish .

Sorry Undies only just seen your post would have been in your mum and dads shop many a time penny tray man meself,also the shop nearer to the library used to be a temperance bar sold dandelion and burdock and sarsaparilla.l also had the odd dalliance in that ginnel in me teens ,I remember the barber's being known as Sprags you used to leave dripping in blood .

Wrong about inaugural trip should have read article first never mind ,I do however remember it was a glorious sunny day down there and we had to walk through a large park where we witnessed grown men playing a game with sticks on a flat pitch with no mud on it under a blue sky, it was an alien world.

Went on it to Bournemouth it had a disco carriage,think it could have been its inaugural trip .

I wentto Southampton when we played them in the cup during the strikes the special train was cancelled on arriving at Trinity St and coaches laid on,it was a horrible grey wet day down there great game JB equalizer late on,but my main memory was loads of their skinhead fans waiting to pick us off on the journey back to the coaches,one of the roughest aways I'd been to and still is .

Very little that i wouldn't scoff if hungry but i don't understand anyone eating tripe at least not how my grandparents had it with all the holes full of vinegar.Would get your old man wound up Bolty as he came on radio2 phone in extolling its virtues he was fucking hilarious.

At the same match P a mate from B/met KT who travelled down under with your kid grabbed the cash bag from the turnstile guy as he was taking it to be weighed in he bolted up those steep steps into the crowd but the police got him we'd have had some night in the Mecca with that .

Yes mate I saw it happen it was mad really massive police presence segregating us from them on thier kop and then at half time you could go where you wanted at the back of the terrace. It was during a bit of a stand off in proceedings that the kid well known lad darted forward and stabbed him brought it home to me as a 17 year how futile all that shit was a punch up was one thing but this wasn't good .Was planningon staying in Blackpool and going to the Mecca but the atmosphere understandably wasn't good so got home which wasn't easy police everywhere a grim day a long time ago .

Your spot on about Blackpool in the fixture at Burnden prior to that bad incident which I saw happen at the back of thier kop they brought a decent mob and came on the Great Lever End they got a good kicking mind .The lad who lost his life was called Kevin Olson I think,and he was with their lot at Burnden .

Once saw a great photo of Boltons sky line when all the mill chimneys were belching out smoke think it was taken from Scout Road.Thankfully someone had the foresight to put the arch over Newport St .

Not been but gutted by this result what the fuck is going on ?think the step up from that ale house league we were in last year as become harder to breach than this one to the prem .Perhaps we will have to yoyo for a few seasons to re_establish ourselves,the worry with that is when the yoyo string fucks up .

Exactly why I'm choosing clitheroe over the match,as I've got older I value my time more hours I can't get back bother me .I won't wait for petrol or a haircut dread traffic jams ect ,so when it came to a choice of a nice train journey a mooch round clitheroe a few scoops in some different pubs and lots of live music or the Macron I feel a little sad to admit but no contest .

Big mod weekend in clitheroe starts tonight ,big scooter ride through town tomorrow afternoon and bands in all the pubs all day till late,saw Johnny Boy doing his northern soul repertoire last year.

Interesting debate on radio yesterday as to whether the drone operators sat in complete safety should receive medals for the work they do,can see it must be extremely stressful wondering if you've got it right they also said after months of surveillance they can actually form a bond with the target.

Woman on the radio yesterday said that if you see a white middle aged woman leave a parcel of some description in a public place or a young man of asian descent do the same ,then she would and you should treat them with equal suspicion.Thankfully I know which one would get me on my toes first .

They were mentioned way back in the thread before I did .

Worked in Germany in summer 1976 on the building site's I'd just come out of my apprenticeship,it was very much like the Auf Wiedersehen tv series.I was in a town called Bielefeld looking back you think you know everything but your a bit naive at 19 or at least i was.Got on well with the younger locals but at the time sensed some resentment from the older end.Had some great adventures loads of beer they used to deliver it to the site and drink it like we drink tea a local lad also showed us how to send any fat lads we could find into the chemist shop where they would sell him amphetamine in a sort of liquid medicine form for diet aid had some laughs with that.Spent every penny I earned ballooning around ,one funny incident happened at work the locals used to bring wonderful soups and stews to work for dinner me and the lad had nowt and were starving we'd blown all our money on the piss so he went and robbed a local supermarket he got a loaf and tub of marge and a jar of those little pickled onions,we proceeded to spread the marge with a pointing trowel put an onion in each corner one in the middle and hey presto a butty they looked at us as if we were mental,happy days

An interesting one I remember was for the club legend Eddie Hopkinson it was that last game against dirty Leeds we were safe and their was a not to bothered party atmosphere amongst our supporters,a minority of Yorkshire low life's didn't respect the silence and the whole mood in the ground changed to one of get into these bastards,I think playing a part in their relegation.

Sad when the main talking point of an England game is a jumped up no mark who's career will probably finish trophy-less making obscene gestures.Had a glimmer of hope with big Sams appointment thought he may at least get the players to look interested and want to be involved,I honestly think most of them would rather be elsewhere.My answer give it back to amateur players selected by a panel convinced they could see of the likes of Malta,and you would get 100% effort and the same trophy haul as the toss pots who turn out now .
