Tarquin

Can remember these days as if they were yesterday, Taylor was fixated on the north stand being built for the 66 world cup. My dad was incandescent when he sold Quixall to Manure, then losing Catterick was his last straw. He was totally anti Taylor till he couldn't go due to ill health. Even in the early 70s when he was in the last months with Parkinsons he would get very agitated if he thought the club were putting the ground in front of the team. Now we have the man baby heavens only knows what dad would have thought about the state we are in now.

Agree it would need a clean up but any brown field site in Sheffield would as well. I am amazed how fast buildings are erected on these type of sites, very soon after demolition and clearing. Two examples are the housing estates at Renishaw on the old foundry site and the old site of Chesterfield Cylinders in Chesterfield. ( I actually worked at the site some years back and would not want to own a house on that site .)

Think we could use the Brown field site on Claywheels lane on the other side of the river from Winn Gardens and the training ground. Plenty big enough for stadium and car parking . tram access would be next door if Stocksbridge link ever gets done and near Penistone road for motorway access.

Reckon we should make him a framed collage of all the ash from the burnt prayer papers he sets fire to whilst sat on the front row of the South stand trying to invoke the good luck gods . Please don`t try this at home kids , let it be a lesson in not gambling .

Hang about ! The day that the Deputy PM resigns , along with a large reshuffle of the Cabinet . You say the first thing discussed across the cabinet table is the "plight of SWFC" ????? WOW!!!

Can we christen this shirt Long John Silver? per your parrot on the shoulder reference

Private jets are operating from DSA

Giddy !!! Almost got a semi reading that, and its no good at my age

On the strength of this news I shall put a bottle of Blacksheep Milk Stout in the fridge for later

Good God, won't be able to sleep tonight at that vision of a takeover. ( still better than DC dragging it on though)

No its that Bloom cove off You Tube

Just told my wife that I`ve been getting a bit nostalgic about my efforts all those years ago after its cropped up on here. She said now your retired you might have time to do some more !!! She was not happy when I said all my best ones were done on Night Shifts so I might have to get a little job on nights so the creative juices were ready. To which she wandered off into the kitchen to make tea shaking her head.

For those wondering what`s happened to the three musqwatch ears from the Heeley Red Lion--- Tarquin has spent his years being a wringer out for a one armed window cleaner. Casper is now a drug trial volunteer in Thailand . Quentin was last heard of in Rovrum prancing round Clifton Park in drag telling everyone who will listen that he now wants to be called Betty! Lionel, bless him, is sadly no longer with us . He was the only character based on an actual person , Lionel Lee who worked with me at Brown Baileys in the late 80s . Still miss him even now . Darnall`s finest owl was Lionel.

Come off it Neil, its par for the course . Setting fire to some bits of paper on the front row of the South pre match , berating his "customers" for being bad people, to name but two. Its like one of us using the Americanism "Hang Tough" in a thread about him and being threatened for wanting a lynching, should be the English teacher at school

VERY TRYING!!!#@#!

All us in the south stand would be disadvantaged by this as we all know trunks and suitcases become more like pencil cases as you get older

No

Last thing Wilder won was the bronze medal paired with Colin in the three legged arse kicking contest on Easter Tuesday 1995 outside Tom Treadle oyl Pub in Barnsley

Just been on to my copywrite lawyer, cannot do owt about it as you`ve not mentioned Casper ( still living in a big place near Donny ) or Quentin who is an apprentice washer up at the Priest House on Craggy Island .
