Post by: thegazelle on May 10, 2007, 07:26:14 PM: The official campaign for red shorts starts here

Post by: SW on May 10, 2007, 11:06:56 PM: But we do need the thing in brackets on the programme just under the price" Best Value for Money in Non League".

Also bring back the Hawkers advert on the front page.

Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: Graham Bennetts Perm on May 11, 2007, 08:59:13 AM: Gazelle
I have to disagree as, in my opinion, real sustained glory will only come with yes, red shorts, but also at least 5 players with statesmanlike moustaches and/or beards, the token long haired layabout on the bench, a curly perm at centre half, and the return of the double decked 299 Timperley circular.

I'd say real sustained glory is therefore unlikely, as single deckers are all the rage at present, and for the foreseeable future.
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: SW on May 11, 2007, 09:24:39 AM: True enough. Besides we'd need to get rid of Geoff and his coaches and reinstate the Godfrey Abbott Group for away travel.
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: Jezza on May 11, 2007, 09:57:49 AM: The Gazelle asks for hard facts to back up his campaign. I remain neutral on this issue as the following proves it don't matter what we wear as long as it's not grey. If anything I think white shorts is more nostalgic and aesthetical.

Vs Everton I can confirm red shorts were worn.

However Vs Spurs (1-1) away we wore white shorts red tops..in the replay we wore white shorts with red and white tops.
The black yellow of the shaun constable visit were less lucky at white hart lane.

In the Leatherhead trophy run we wore the Sheff Utd kit with black shorts.

In the Runcorn final I'm pretty sure we wore the black shorts.

Vs Birmingham we wore the red and black stripes with black shorts

Vs Chester we wore black shorts.

Thourghout the showler and Nicky dawes year we wore black shorts (rolled at the top to make them extra tight)

Jackie Swindells always wore red shorts.

I'm afraid the days of yesteryear have been ruined by todays nanny state....the perms wish for double deckers was quashed by the fact they discriminate against the disableds and red shorts have also been banned by this New Labour disgrace although govt statistics show, black shorts are quite lucky for us.
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: thegazelle on May 11, 2007, 04:48:06 PM: (It appears that memory has twisted the facts i still feel the whole set up was better with red shirts
and as been pointed out perms and taches. is the godfrey abbot thing also an urban myth.
certainly shearings to birmingham. train to wembley 78 cant remember who in 82 but club coaches and we did fill the whole void behind the back seat with beer cans 86 was finglands and a bill for two broken seata following a drink and drug fueled orgy there and back. you can thank god you didnt run that one Ecky.Early 80's was primarliy selwyns. but none can beat roger palmers dad enos and godfrey abbott.
299 to stores corner always a double decker but i was a 41 or laterly a 241 boy me self to the cemetry. my double deckerdness was satisfied by the 108 or 99 and 371. our gang ran the back seat onthe 108 for many a year.

How about bringing back power cuts and weekday afternoon kickoffs Blackburn and the little discussed loss to TOwyn? so we can all wag sschool
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: SW on May 11, 2007, 05:02:00 PM: The 99 crew were infinetely superior to the 108 though.

Wasn't the afternoon trophy defeat to Pwhelli......think that's how its spelt? Did we wear red shorts that day?

Post by: JackSwindells No 1 Fan on May 11, 2007, 10:34:49 PM: Red shorts! I've been bangimg on about that for ages, but we also need the white socks and Rogersons Pies from Broadheath (sadly the bakery is long gone)

Also we need a real high profile friendly vs Man U or similar. Who can forget stuffing full strength Man City (Steve Daley and all) for the testimonial for Stan, SD, JO and Mucky Brick? Full house, City played hard but never threatened.

One good fixture, early season before Champs league gets serious.
6,000 tickets @ £20, only with 3 alty league game tokens... yep go for the money - great launch pad for promotion push.

Post by: thegazelle on May 14, 2007, 02:46:07 PM: pwthhelli it was indeed i get confused with these small welsh seaside resorts its my age you know.
rogersons pies will be a must, when the bring back red shorts nostaglgia party are in power, but they have to be the 10p ones after half time and be sold by andy vickers out of a mars bar box in the golf road we could eat them along with Hot Vimto and curly wurlies.

When we win the election
i am going to be Primeminister/president/ ayatollah

Derek kennerley for chancellor of the exchequers (can you see what ive done there)
Dave Baldwin can be Home secretary
Denis birch foreign secretary
Enos palmer minister of transport
Graham sports minister
John king defence minister

any other nominations for my cabinet

Go back to old coton shirt as well. A strip of white sewn onto a strip of red onto a strip of white etc. etc.. Gazelle to have a 21 stripe shirt!

Also take all the tip up seats out of the stand and put the planks back! OOps, maybe the stand is full of these anyway?

Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: thegazelle on May 15, 2007, 04:37:35 PM: 21 stripe shirt is better than the last wearable version which had red flashing stitched in the side by gupta in order to fit the expanding midriff.

this could mean each stripe is a minimum of two inches in order to fit in a baggy marquis / 10 man niger type way.

perhaps i should return to my sylph like xL to bring back the glory years

Post by: TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe on May 15, 2007, 04:51:14 PM: gazelle,

May I volunteer to impersonate Brian Sweeney in this attempt to return to the glory years?

I'm sure that we could bring back PC Maddocks as well?
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: SW on May 15, 2007, 05:08:12 PM: How about bringing back the old whitewashed dugouts with the bench inside and reinstating those old barrier things made out of dexion racking that were slotted into the fence by the tunnel?

Kenny's old mac too I think that would do it.
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: thegazelle on May 15, 2007, 05:32:00 PM: Pc Maddox will be a must under the new regime and can be in charge of all [police affairs with pc pinkerton as his assistant

Brian sweeney god rest his sole can be minister for agriculture with his allotment connections and the here plant some potatoes on the wing speach can be rerun on a daily basis . big bill for deputy agriculture minister.

i know we did this before but what was the name of the irish bloke with the penny whistle ? light mac and wife or did i dream that?
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe on May 15, 2007, 06:11:04 PM: I don't know about a bloke with a penny whistle....but during the 1970s I do recall an eccentric old character who used to play the harmonica at away games and also shout "Salt Lake City" whenever we played at The Drill Field...

Post by: SW on May 15, 2007, 08:01:34 PM: Wasn't there a bloke who took a toy Dinky car to the match and spent the game "driving" it along the top of the perimeter fence?

Vroom vroom!

Post by: Saughall Robin on May 15, 2007, 08:49:46 PM: Has anyone mentioned the red and white striped tops to the white socks?
I'm sure THEY were the lucky charm (apart from that 5-0 at Molyneux ;))

Sorry Jezza - only joking about planks in the stand!
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: thegazelle on May 16, 2007, 03:42:16 AM: was he the chap that went through a punk stage.

what also happened to the grass bank agro.

The barriers have also got to go so that all 15 rows end up at the fence when we score and push the small kids off the fence into the back of the net.
we should also be allowed to invade the pitch on scoring and at the final whistle cant believe i used to be able to vault the fencing
I be t that tunnel steward and darren wont let that happen. it's wrong it never hurt us and we turned out alright didnt we.

Post by: thegazelle on May 17, 2007, 10:35:48 AM: your bothered look at jezza's score, seem to recall something about a toy car but other toy car incident was coach home from SC**thorpe (first time) packed with WHGS second formers and at least 1 first if you were there." We want our mini back " oh how mature we were
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: SW on May 17, 2007, 11:02:00 AM: Dim recollections of Sc*nthorpe, might've gone with my old man? Seem to recall driving through where Flixborough used to be?
Title: Re: The thing that will bring back the years of glory
Post by: Jezza on May 17, 2007, 12:05:26 PM: Brian Sweeney told me about the guy running the toy car along the top of the permiter barrier.....he once gave the car a good push and tried to race it but slipped...when asked if he was OK the chap struggled to his feet and replied "no...the bugger beat me"

I think maybe having a cardboard cut out of Ian Morris stood at the intersection of half way line and touch line waiting for a pass would bring back some glory...have an inbuilt sound system with "you could plant spuds on that wing" playing non stop too.

And I don't worry about my Peake rating..there is only one thing worse than being peaked and that is not being peaked.

We have never replaced the flying Scotsman (God rest his soul) either have we so we could do with a jag hurtling up the M6 doing barrow in less than an hour.

Post by: thegazelle on May 17, 2007, 02:59:07 PM: Quick journies i recall
goole homeward leg and getting in the bullshead halebarns bang on opening time (5.30pm) Austin maxi

and i swear i once did runcorn to the railway iin under 15 (posh 2 litre cavalier) 120 plus along M56

and Stafford to the Railway in under 40 with 72 stone in the car!!!! 1.3 escort estate which died slightly afterwards

can anyone see the logic behind such reckless driving if licensing laws had been longer there would have been no need

Post by: SW on May 17, 2007, 10:34:55 PM: I recall going to the title decider at Worcester In Rob Sharpe's mini but without knowing the fact we were champions till we got to the Grapes in Alty, advised by some never go, never would "fan". We couldn't suss why cars were flashing lights at us with the Alty scarves trailing out of the windows. Was a bit rough on the way out of St georges Lane that day but we were ok.

Ok, whover it is, peake me again then!
