    Where we lead, others follow.

    There's talk of a tennis ball protest at TWS's next game. Reminded me of ours in the Lloyd era, but there was some other protest I recall where they kicked footballs into the ground and managed to get the game held up. Anyone else recall it and know which teams it was?

    I think it's a lack of imagination from TWS more than anything. They could have tied it in by claiming it as a reference to being a racket, or because Bates has green furry balls.

    They should throw bricks at themselves. They should organise this for when they play Millwall sometime, what a great day everyone would have!

    You and I contribute a few good memories on these posts, but to the life of me I cannot remember the football protest.
    I hardly missed a game from 1946 to 1982 except in 1968 when I was seriously ill one Satuday, so it must have been then. There hasn't been many protests against Hull City over the years<confused>

    Sorry Charles I wasn't clear, the football protest wasn't us, it was another team. Someone suggests it was Macclesfield, which could well be the one I had in mind.

    Does anyone remember the garden gnomes (placed overnight) around the centre spot at boothferry park in the early eighties prior to the local eggchasers cup replay?

    As long as they don't throw crispy strips, they're actually nice... unless they throw them into my mouth <ok>

    On second thoughts, if there's any black players on the pitch, it might be misconstrued as a hate-crime.

    Nothing from KFC is nice, though they do seem to keep the rat population down.

    Got to disagree, those crispy strips are the only thing that's nice, but they definitely do the job, specially after a few beers.

    Everyone on here seems to eat at Nando's and KFC, why all this processed chicken ****?

    We're not Blackburn.

    Get yourselves down to the chippy and get yourself some decent battered fish. <ok>

    I refuse to eat Nandos. Never had one, never will.

    Plus, I said I liked KFC. I never buy it. In fact, I've not had one for about 5 years.

    A barrage of false white beards would be appropriate, though perhaps not practical.

    They would just meekly float forwards a bit, but not make the pitch.

    He'd probably consider it a compliment.

    Bad idea in all honesty.
