shazzybird Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Poynters Coaches taking us to Wimbledon for the NLRC, oh those Scottish Tours how excellent were they we'd lose 4 days! Our yearly trip up to Mildenhall only to get there and it be rained off luckily enough the girls in the burger bar were there ready to feed us and to fill my ice cream tub up with onion rings! The 4TT and 3TT always provided good entertainment and the Championship of GB was held at Canterbury, I remember the year Mark Courtenay won and Dad had to to take his bike to pieces in front of the crowd in the main stand to make sure there was nothing had been tampered with. Awwwwww Mrs Moon, Barney and Ted mad! god help any rider that got the better of them you'd have Jackie after them closely followed by Mrs Clark! Two of the best supporters any team would be proud to have in their supporters club. Does anyone remember the meeting where Mrs Moon had her leg crushed at Eastbourne when she was trapped under the fence after an accident? Cliff and Maggie and their market stall, Uncle Ted won that many coats from them over the years he never had to buy another, I remember you could even buy a trophy off them to present at the end of the second half! Oh thats it if it's not the Hackney fans making me all nostalgic it's the Rye House fans and if it's not them it's you lot of buggas!

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hey - a rather surprising reference to the old club in of all things the 'Barking & Dagenham Post' this week!!! There's a bit of a debate locally about the (admittedly rather daft) appendage of 'and Redbridge' to the name of our local new Football League club. Some are campaigning for a name change to Dagenham Dragons! In support of this, someone in the 'Post' writes that there is a great tradition of alliterative names in sport, mentioning: "Wycombe Wanderers, Bradford Bulls, Philadelphia Phillies, and Canterbury Crusaders"..!!!
