Terrace Grumbler Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 We'll go along to see Scott Nicholls. I'm delighted to see Oxford back, I haven't been to a match there since the 1980s, Hans Nielsen and Simon Wigg, great days. If it's a staycation this year, we might take in a visit to Sandy Lane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three times Sid! (B)rough each time! Last time I visited we went up in a mini-bus and on the way back on the M1 were pulled up by the police who thought we were "Flying" Pickets during the days of the mining disputes. I ended up showing them my programme board of Hans Nielsen and they sent us on our way...memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave probably lives in the suburbs of Whitley Bay, so stick another mile and a half on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
