OldNick Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 There was nothing wrong with Bellemoor's English teachers when I was there! Very good teachers imho. Gone down the pan since we left though! shame!I left in 1973 to move to Hounsdown (the only bonus was it was a mixed school.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 How far we have fallen.... Once our made up takeover stories revolved around the likes of Paul Allen and Shiek Maktoom. Now they are about the 'Dave Merrington Consortium'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Not Bellemoor and Hounsdown Grammer school where English was taught as the second language Did you have Mrs Upton as a teacher? Think in RE, she looked a bit like a Frank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Did you have Mrs Upton as a teacher? Think in RE, she looked a bit like a Frank?Name rings a bell, but I was only there about a year before I was pulled away from my mates and thrown into a new school. Mr Broomfield Mr Holt I remember the former was a scary git that nearly ran me over (my fault) who did Technical drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is going to be the case for years unless the fans come back. At present Lallana would be the one who I fear will be targetted. The good thing about them being youngsters is that many of the PL teams wont be3 interested for a while.They are looking for foreign players in the main, and while the kids are bing played they are not frustrated by not playing.

And why should that happen, Premiership clubs seem to e totally ignoring young British talent in their foolish pursuit of names from Brazil,Russia and Spain. Just can't understand this premier league folly that will eventually lead to a "big" club going under, take your pick, Tottenham,Skate or Man City, they're paying tens of millions for overated garbage every other week.

Too right. I want nothing more than have to continually sell players to keep our heads above water. Why would we want substantial investment into the club. Just think how much worse off we would be.

You are right when you say the thread should be closed, and that we shouldn't worry about a takeover. We have no control over something that probably won't happen anyway. That is still very true, we are desperate for investment or we have to sell. But it also looks odds on that the Fulthorpe just does not have the money. And if it came down to increasing our borrowing, just so they can steer us from trouble with Alan Shearer? I would prefer our current situation, even knowing how precarious it is. The only thing Fulthorpe could do is to get us on the cheap if the wheels fall off, if he really wanted to help he could tie in with Lowe and Wilde and really do some good. The fact that certain wind chimes have gone silent and are even attending away games, makes me believe there is a further tie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
