    We're nocturnal
    You never see us during the day in the UK
    Even the ones working in all your pubs only come out at night
    Not being a TRUE smillie user I must have used the wrong one

    That is quality story mate and true worthiness of a real supporter, certainly nothing like popping a couple of miles down to Millwall!

    That’s one of my regrets, that I never got to see Rangers play a competitive game abroad. Following England away was great….following Rangers away would have been awesome….can’t see it happening again in my lifetime

    Yes I was at the forest game. I did a spell of missing about 1home game in about 20 years,ironically for
    a wedding! Now I've grown up and more fickle . Some may disagree with the grown up bit!

    That was around the time I was going home and away, so probably we have crossed paths at some time.
    Funnily enough the one game I missed in about 4 seasons was Newcastle away…which I think was on a Tuesday night :)

    Jan 1971 BEA post section BEALINE HOUSE S.Ruislip. Then joined the Computer Section. Various jobs all over LHR. Took early up in 2005, as I knew T5 was going to be a nightmare, and that's where I would be based looking after their computer problems. T1 and T4 staff didn't like each other, so that was going to be a problem as well. But the main reason I took the early up was that poison Irish dwarf Willie Walsh and his motley crew were taking over BA. They had already *ucked up Aer Lingus with their outsourcing, and I think I was proved correct, because that is what they have done at BA. Still keep in contact with the people I like, *uck the others. Knew quite a few of the baggage handlers, and the football section.

    You must definitely Know Phil D then…and a big Sunderland supporter, can’t remember his name. Always used to follow England around the world.
    And Stuart Griffin ? Adam Wright ? They were post boys I think

    Phil D the Sunderland supporter, think he was called Geordie. Yes used to go to all the England games with Stewart Dyer (OB). Other Names and nicknames Ted Gosling (Goose), Chris Hall (Hally), Steve Hull (Hully), John Hutchinson (Hutch), Ray Salam (Scouse), Bobbie Dawson, Ian Thornton, Trevour Boyce (Whale). They used to have a charity day at Bedfont FC for Hally and OB who both sadly passed away and were best mates. That has stopped due to covid.

    Probably I know some of the names by their faces....Phil Drake was a Spurs fan....I think the Sunderland fan was Robbo.....big England away supporters back in the day.

    STAINESY, REEL IN STEEELMONKEY HE CAN't let go, tell him we've moved on!
    I am sure we'd recognise each other . If ever I'm at a do and a Rangers fan is introduced to me it's rare that i haven't seen them before.
    May see you at Holloway's gig tomorrow night?
