Great crowd though for an afternoon game in midweek. Just shows the beauty of the FA Cup in those days and how television has spoilt it these days. I can recall having a bus ride over to Rochdale one Sunday morning for a match with a mate and seeing the most fittest ginger haired girl ever seen walking along the street in Swinton. We talked about nothing else all day, she was a fucking stunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted May 6, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2021 I was in first form at Turton High and remember the teachers having to spend lunchtimes on Bromley Cross station stopping the older lads wagging school to go to afternoon games.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted May 9, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2021 I always thought there’d been about four games which dodged the power strikes. May be the passing of time blurring these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Drawn from Massi culture apparently. It looks pretty impressive. Had an issue with racist tea towels towels today. Well, not in and of itself but a lot of organisatiions - especially regional ones - were created in a great philathropic boom which means a lot of slave owners money built them. Thankfully, in this case, once he made his fortune, he became an abolitionist - always good to be able to afford your morals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it indeed starts it. It is a funny one If you think it is a good idea and highlighting issues the fact some people boo is actually a reason to keep it going, will be seen as backing down if you think it is a bad idea you may continue to boo. I think most people will be ambivalent or think it has run its course so probably stay quiet either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I think it'll fizzle out too. I just don't get the idea of booing your own players or booing a gesture that's obviously important to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
