SUFC: The Future The Takeover - Very very close.

[Richard Hearn]

Lol, didn't we all, complete with indigo legs for a few days afterwards, no matter how hard you showered.

Showered? In those days? One was lucky to get one bath a week on a Sunday evening.

Wasn’t it announced a while ago that ground improvements would start straight away, even before the takeover, so I guess that’s happening as we speak? I’m expecting a huge beer tent out the back of the West on Sat!

That would be class, and something I've been suggesting for years. Beer tent or a couple of staff members walking round with a beer back pack on pouring beers. A lot easier than queuing up like mugs waiting for the bar to open dead on half time, then getting turned away because it's too busy. It's been madness for years.

Luxury!

I remember the first pair of Levis I bought and how I sat in the bath to shrink them to size! IMHO, normal priced Levis these days are rubbish.

I know. Used to get mine from Leo's, they fitted first time.

Leo was married to my sister Jan @Gt Yarmouth Shrimper . Totally off topic i know, but when i was a young teenager i worked for him first at RH market, Wickford etc , I left to do other things and my sister took my job. Leo used to buy most from Falmers who were at Rayleigh Weir at the time. The rest is history about Leo's and the shops but they did very well from all of them. My sister still has a huge farm in Devon paid for by the glory days of that era. Leo is long gone, committed suicide many years ago,

If that were the case, the sandwiches would be ham, mayo, rocket and carrot (or HMRC for short).

 

[Sammy Shrimper]

Not so much food, the description is ” Light buffet afterwards…. “ don’t forget Ron Martin is involved.

 

[Medway Blue]

If that were the case, the sandwiches would be ham, mayo, rocket and carrot (or HMRC for short).

I hear that Ron and Jack insisted on a platter of 5 sandwiches. Cheese, unsmoked ham, Nutella, turkey and salmon.
