Goin2Cali4nia Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hello everyone, This is my first posting to the forum. I am hoping I have found a place where the 'die-hard' fans hang out. The sort of people who might remember the 1982 World Final and, more importantly, might have been among the many Brits who took a holiday out there that summer, taking in the World Final on 28 August. I am mindful that we are less than two years from the 25th Anniversary of that exciting time, and I feel there should be a reunion - preferably in California. Any thoughts, anyone?

Grachan Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 My mum, dad and brother went, but I went to Reading Festival and Betamaxed it off World of Sport while I was there. Then watched it when I came back and had the house to myself for the best part of two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) i was there!! and had an argument with some Cradley fans in Disneyland ... went to Costa Mesa too ... think it was the night before or 2 nights before the final. just after coming back we had a new gas heater fitted and the program for the final was on the sideboard ... the British Gas fitter saw the prog and said he did a bit of grasstrack ... it was Steve Schofield Edited December 7, 2005 by stevehone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
