MR. CYNICAL

ElmParkBloke Seems to have become very ‘laggy’ recently. Or is it just me?

No it's not just you, it's very slow, takes ages to load a page up and every time I come on to make a comment, I have to log out straight away afterwards as I can't seem to navigate the board when logged in.

Snap! ie same for me.

Chantstarter for years, many of them came through me and my crew but past it now. Atmosphere has been embarrassing since we moved to the new stadium especially after reserved seating but C1871 has been a decent step in the right direction. Pity the kids don't know how to sustain a chant for long pe...

Yes, maybe another Andy Legg to terrorise defenders with his throw-ins. And which of our big physical 6 foot plus strikers will start benefitting? It's more about the angles from where the ball arrives and the confusion it may bring. It's not necessarily about winning headers. Loose balls from defe...

I've just bought & printed off my ticket for the Doncaster game on 25th Oct, so I guess it doesn't apply to print at home tickets.

That's grand, thank you. I'll be buying a ticket for the Doncaster game, so hopefully will be ok. Thanks.

Unfortunately, not quite as straight forward for some. I only travel up from the West Country for about 5 or 6 matches per season. I buy a 'print at home ticket' as I do not have a smart phone. I do have a 'member card', can this have tickets downloaded? Or should I just invest in some heavy duty bo...

Personally I think a legend should be a one-off, any more and the meaning is diluted. As well as his footballing attributes It has to be someone with charisma, who will live in the memory down the generations. They will become almost an enigma, who had a certain 'je ne sais quoix'. I've seen many go...

All the games previously mentioned were very special & I would also add a couple of earlier ones which stand out in my memory . League game at home to Gillingham in 1966 winning 2-1, due to the Dennis Allen (or was it Mick Travers) screamer. League game home to Swindon in the same season, who ha...

I also watched it from the South Bank,although I was still calling it 'Under the Clock' at times. Can anyone recall when we first started calling it the South Bank?

Yes, I was definitely there & still have the programme (in fact I have all my programmes from Dec 1965 onwards). I did write a description of the goal (of sorts)'when I wrote my book about 25 years ago, but even then the actual details were a bit fuzzy round the edges. Nowadays all I can remembe...

So sorry to hear the very sad news. My thoughts are with you. I also tragically lost my son back in 2004. Always remember and cherish the good times, they can be a comfort. Although I don't know you personally, if there is anyway I can help please contact me & I hope that you also have others wh...

They won't be. We're also defeated fanbase who would go out with a whimper. The defiance mindset ended last year. I'm not travelling the length of the country for a funeral, wherever first game after a takeover would be a different matter. Fair play to you bud. However, I happen to know quite a few...

Travelling up from darkest Somerset for one of my infrequent games. Will be staying overnight and visiting the ruins of Calleva Atrebatum on Sunday. I'm sure that's a touch of irony!!

£500, probably.

probably, it might of been one of those ‘power-cut’ afternoons of the seventies…..maybe even a Sunday? Being a ‘young Spizz’ and being in attendance at many of the Charlie Hurley games, I was probably not making too many notes for future references :wink: 'Oh happy days'. I have to admit I had to r...

I recall a magnificent Percy Freeman 30/40 yard screamer at a muddied 1970s Elm Park (just don’t ask me :wink: what game it was tho’)….recall the Evening Post of the day rated it very highly. Yes, Percy also scored some great goals. I remember a couple in the last home game against Chester in 1972/...

Yes, Robin Friday's goal was so special. Even ref Clive Thomas rated it as the best goal he'd seen. Quinn's goal, like Smith's were very good but, another with a brilliant shot was Dennis Allen (the winer against Gillingham in 66/67 from all of 30 yards was another cracker!) I recall a magnificent ...
