That would be the game that I turned up to watch and was being begged by both sides to referee. As i was a regular on both forums at the time, had i accepted i would have ensured a draw, but as i was with my young daughters and didn't want them to suffer the embarrassment of Dad having the **** kicked out of him by all 22 players I gracefully declined. The 9 was right though, they ****ed it

2 can play at that game - we'll just say we never really invaded, the news footage was all done in a studio just like the moon landings.

Knew what I was looking for and still missed it first time round. Shame, great video without him (bet he's multiplied it's views about a thousandfold though)

No Chaseys was further along Victoria Rd, did sell toys but more of a small gifts and nick-nacks shop. Keith Paul was a PROPER toy shop, with bikes, model railway lay outs, pretty much everything Toys rR Us has now but just on a smaller scale. Sadly disappeared not long after the big American shed arrived opposite the station - another great shop killed off by the "big boys"

Brilliant:D Only yesterday my Mum was arguing with me about where that was (now in Bitterne Park Triangle of course). She said it was further up near the old bird aviary, I said exactly where it is in that picture. If only Icould get her to use a PC I could point out her error

Not 100% but pretty sure this was demolished for the new road layout. A row of shops behind the Red Lion pub across the road from the new church and library, what would now be the tile shop(?) and point where Bitterne Rd East & Bursledon Rd split. I think the stone lion that now lies on a plinth in front of the pub was rescued from above a shop doorway along the same row of buildings.

Wow, never knew that was there. Can just make it out on Google Maps. Used to walk that way every morning to do my paper round. Might try and take a peak over the garden fence next time I'm that way

Was also known as The Wig & Pen for a while Side entrance below what is now the Southampton Park Hotel. "I've been to Mr C's" was a must have car sticker around the late 70s/early 80s

Not heard about that, would be interested to hear more. Used to live in Sholing myself

If anyone manages it it'll be Truro City FC

Was discussing Gattis only the other day with Mrs W, she doesn't remember it despite being older than me. I recall mock tudor beams, red lamp shades and the seating area divided into lots of nooks and crannies. Am I thinking of the right place?

Totally agree with the OP It's the first time for a long long time I've actually had the feeling that team management and business management (for want of a better phrase) are all pulling in the same direction.

Didn't Lowe refuse to sign him for a million once because he was too similar to Beattie ?

This is a ridiculous rule that definitely needs scrapping, especially as teams now have to name a 25 man squad in the PL Who is to say what is a weakened team ? How many changes? 3? 5? 7? 11? What if the "weakened" team won 3-0 ? Would the fine still have been imposed? Could it then be argued that the team selected in the match(es) before the match with all the changes was the a "weakened" team? Who defines which player is stronger/better than another player? If the powers that be consider themselves able to make the judgement then they may as well give every player a rating at the start of the season and decide the PL title in a Championship Manager style so the fans don't need to waste their time and money turning up to watch actual games every week. I really hope they appeal against this.

Worth keeping an eye on - he's getting several "household" joining the waiting list to appear in his shed.

What if I want a Carlisle ticket, can't go to the ManUre game but don't have any mates. ?

Spotted this post on the "What are you listening to?" thread. The video is from the www.songsfromtheshed.com website, which is run by a good friend of mine, a Saints fan and an ex-poster on here. Worth taking a look (or several)

Enabling us to replace those naff half time "entertainments" like hit the bar from the half way line with a life size scaletxtric competition.

This doesn't bode well for attendance figures at the Sports Centre - although they do have a boating lake and kiddies fairground as well

Comprehensive measurements but you have made the common mistake of assuming that the track has to be flat. A few adverts removed and a dozen or so crash barriers removed and the bends can fit nicely up and down the Northam and Chapel terraces. Runners might need to remove their spikes though to avoid slipping on the steps. Once we've seen how successfully that works it won't take long till speedway and greyhounds follow (either as separate events or greyhounds riding motorbikes for added entertainment value)

So we can't have running but can have ambulance racing?

There is if they are making unauthorised use of either clubs copyrighted badges.

Yep, piece of ****, provided you read what's on the screen I'm intrigued as to how it works though, how does a website know what random number the unconnected reader has selected?
