If we were to say goodbye to Roots Hall...

[Firestorm]

Expect we have already left it once....:dim:

And by the time we came back it was a right tip.....

 

[ozzie]

Would invite fans from Brighton,Watford,Palace,etc.....and chase them round Roots Hall for the last time:smile:..its a JOKE

To be fair, some ex-Shrimpers are happy to come back - Sandy Anderson, Tony Bentley, David Crown to name a few. Sadly, Stan Collymore always says he will but never does, and Derek Hall now lives in Australia.

Ron Pountney is there almost every home game anyway, should be one of the first names on any list.

I'd like us to appoint kingSHRIMPER to organise the event.

I'd also like reunions for the 5 most significant sides in the club's history

1906-07 - Southern League Division 2 Champions*
1971-72 - first promotion
1980-81 - 4th Division Champions
1990-91 - promotion to the 2nd tier for the first time
2005-06 - 3rd Division Champions


*we might need to invite relatives rather than the actual players


And then for the following XI to thrash the current W*** H** first choice side

Simon Royce
Dean Austin Spencer Prior Paul Clark Chris Powell
Mark Bentley Phil Gridelet Mark Gower Steve Tilson
Barry Corr Stanley Collymore

One of those re-unions might be happening sooner than you think, early signs promising. Will be harping on about it (even more than going on about my book) if it happens (aiming for pre Xmas this year). Watch this space ......

We'd all compulsorily learn the words to 'Blue' and in front of a packed house Moyet would start off the singing 'Paul Young Euro 96 semi-final style' when we'd all then take over. I'd then wet myself.

Brilliant song words and a wonderful song to listen to, Alison has a new style now, electro something but still good to watch....

"Blue"​

Another northern sky
Another motorway parade
Another day like this
Whatever will be will be
And we will be in Shrews bury (do I have to go)

Do I have to go
Could I ever stay away
And you never know
Tonight our luck could change
And we'll be flying all the way (going all the way)
A late point and I'll be laughing
And Saturday won't seem so bleak
With you, Blue

Ever a stepping stone
Someone's Mickey Mouse affair
We're so unfashionable
But I'm not with you for your stylish hair
Or the seaside air (if we ever get there)
Tell me we've acquired a striker (Stanley)
And a lucrative sponsorship came through (on a free)
Will you, Blue
Can we not buy someone famous
And pull a crowd we can't contain at all
All true, Blue

Maybe we'll never tread the grass that grows around your feet
And you let us in for waiting tables like we live to feed
And not to eat (but we get a seat)
Three points and the living's easy
And every day's a Saturday
With you, true blue
Saturday​

I'd rather she did a set of Yazoo songs with Vince Clarke personally. I like the sentiment of Blue of course, but never liked the song.

Indeed. If they can get Andy Bell along, they can have a electro-gay-popoff. :thumbsup:

Sounds good - I'm game :smile:

Get Freddy back and bring Tomas Kuszack along as well and just recreate THAT goal over and over until we're bored.
