A ORLOV Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Perhaps they could transfer the grass-banks bars and bogs of the Abbey to the new site 50 yards away..don't bother with the snack bars and kiosks they're crap. Temporary seating could be installed if needed. The retractable roof can come later. Seems fine to start with as they will not build a Torun size stadium in 4, 5 or 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I wonder if Sidney is still on guard duty in those back-straight bogs up at The Abbey..about time someone else took over his watch..he's been there for ages!

I understand that the back street bogs are listed and will remain in situ, thus providing the new residents with a most useful and historically important facility.. Good news I say.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching Kiev Vs Chelsea and believe it or not Chelsea should be ahead (but obviously aren't).. As you know I have a soft spot for the Arse and no doubt you are watching the better match We need both teams to win to hopefully maintain the top 4 qualifiers from the Premier League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pay isn't to be sniffed at Haydon. Sid was specifically chosen for the role and won't give it up easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Its totally voluntary... he's been up there 24/7 for well over a week, dedication to duty that.He thought he was being relieved after 8 hours! I believe you are next on duty? Edited October 20, 2015 by haydon hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've deserted your post without permission, let the side down sid. Death by firing squad at dawn for you mate. I cant take over anyway I work full-time! Briggo looking great for his age...Dukey's still got his ponytail, managed to have a brief chat with him, about the time Mac Woolford, the Purton-flyer, crashed into the post and sent the sparks flying. Will never be forgotten by those aged 55-plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydon being a saddo i got all there autographs again!, Dukey looked well and Mac and Briggo too really wanted Briggo to open it up he looked like he was gagging to have a lap or two can't believe he was born in 1934 Legend for me.
