14th Nov 1955 v Moscow Dynamo with my father. Although we lost 1-0 it was an amazing experience and I'll never forget the satin shirts glistening in the floodlights.

So you want one with good voice as well?

I'm sure that some while ago I read on here that the club hierarchy were concerned at the number of season ticket holders who were absent , creating the impression of failing support and impacting on the atmosphere. Unless the club wish to capitalise themselves on additional revenue from selling...

How sad and such a pity that some folks seem determined to spoil an otherwise brilliant idea. Whilst I was never going to use the plan, I felt it was a simple yet novel proposal to keep bums on seats. I've no idea who Hetty is but I hope and pray the he/she is proud that this action has...

Why has the action of someone on RTG impacted on this forum?

If he gets too giddy or rushes to jump too many steps he could easily miscalculate and leave us in trouble. Given his record so far, I think there's more chance of success than failure, by a long chalk.

My point is that this is a skill that anyone could develop with enough practice, it's totally unrelated to normal football skills and it undoubtedly gives teams an advantage when used. Maybe it's no coincidence that we are usually not very strong at most dead ball situations (apart from playoff...

I was born at the back end of WW2 so can't claim to have any knowledge of events unfolding, though I do know enough about history to realise that making concessions to bullies has only one result and it's not something I want see repeated in what remains of my time on here. I feel sad for my...

Correct. But Old Sandy was just completing his National Service so he's a dinosaur

Old!!! I was just getting ready for my O levels when that came out.

A lovely way to spend an evening.... Frank Sinatra

Been on the red and white journey since the mid 50's but my last game was nearly 20 years ago, so the various forums have provided me with a welcome substitute fix. I met some of the old 606 folk at a 606 Xmas party at Roker Park, Syd, Canary Dave, Mr RAW plus a few others and not a...
