  1. Cannot remember the first one, but the second one referred to the delay in building the gorund and was along the lines of "they need that, and they'll FEEL it" :blink: ...has he seen our gates?

     

    I think he said "Feel It" not "Fill It" and was referring to to the credit crunch etc....

  2. I agree, the club can't afford to turn down the extra income and none of the home fans that sit in the RRE are the hardcore anyway. The vast majority are casual fans who pick and choose their games so they can hardly complain about being slightly inconvenienced just for this one game.

     

    Besides, all the atmosphere is in the Chaddy so it might make for a more of a buzz if there's more people in there to add to it.

  4. I'll kick off with;

     

    * An 'ineptitude' of Stockport stewards

     

    * A 'rage' of Stockport fans

     

    * An 'inconsistency' of referees

     

     

    Any more?..........

  5. Final match of the season for Chonburi. We are now two points behind the leaders so we have to win and hope that PEA FC slip up.

     

    It reminds me of the Latics/West Ham situation on the last day of our championship winning season. Although this time both teams are away.

     

    We'll be taking a huge support to BKK. I just hope that we're all happy at 6:00pm!!

     

    And, if anyone's interested, brief highlights of our last home match can be found here :

    See if you can spot me :)

     

    Are you the one in the fish outfit at the start!..... :D

  6. We were called American TV Cops. We had a few singles out in '94/'95 and recorded a session for John Peel. We used to play in London a lot and we also played at "In The City" in Manchester when the audience included LeSaux and Hooky. I've got a few hundred unsold singles in my mum's loft if you'd like to buy one!!

     

    This is what last.fm say about you;

     

    "American TV Cops were a UK based four piece between 1991 and 1998. Coming from the middle of nowhere the Cops self released several critically acclaimed 7 inch singles, recorded a session for legendary DJ John Peel before signing to UK independent label ‘starfish’ which was an ill fated liaison and after becoming somewhat disaffected by their experience, the band split."

     

    middle of nowhere!....Cheeky barstewards

    Sound like you were quite decent outfit.....

     

    Famous People;

    I once had email chat with Thailatic who was once in American TV Cops.......beat that one :D

  7. I voted none of the above.....but I'm not hibernating. I'm getting pissed early for my 40th as I'll be in Cuba when it happens.

     

    Make sure you dont miss a trip to Havana if you're not staying there, it was the highlight on my trip.

    And dont fall for the very tasty ladies who try to convince you that they have no milk for there babies and if only

    you could buy them a couple of bottles which they then sell back to the supermarket!.... :shock:
