redlion Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 When we got promotion to Div1 and then become founder members of the Prem, I would have liked the owners to have sold the club to someone with big money. Maybe then we could have a few more years of the good life. I would imagine that the club would have been quite saleable at that time.

Nowhere near the money in it that there is now. Nobody saw that coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add how much I detest that minority of people who criticise Joe Royle's record by citing that little cameo he did as a favour to see the season out, ignoring the most wonderfully glorious years in the club's history. I really hesitate with this one, as I'm in a very small minority, but I hate all tangerine kits. I hate tangerine. I had a retro one. I looked like a giant satsuma. I actually prefer the all blue and all red (yes, red) kits of the early 1990s. We love tangerine - not we don't, most do, but not everyone..... okay, I'll get my coat now. Surely you looked like a giant Tangerine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested it's Roger Moore and Empire Strikes Back. I have another one, the term Club Legend is used far too loosely. Roger Moore was too old to play Bond, Creepy if you ask me, although I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for 'The spy who loved me' Have to say that The last Bond has turned out to be the best of all and he's a short arse, Loved all the original star wars. Back to kits, we could just say sod it and go Green Bovis for old times sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to kits, we could just say sod it and go Green Bovis for old times sake I get your point about him being old and a bit creepy towards the end of his time. Especially a 'View to a kill'. My favourite of his was 'Live and let die' and 'Man with the golden gun'. Although special mention for 'Moonraker' best bond girl name ever. Daniel Craig was a good bond. Back to kits l used to call that the bogey green kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a very popular club, always on TV and in the news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
