meadow. Stuff of legend. I think that some of the list may be almost passe, but the kids and can, okd lady, crisps with no provenance and the club legend at c back at least are still very much in evidence! Lovely stuff.

Sadly, a trip to the Conference has robbed Tamuff of most of these glorious things.
5. We have the WAGs, but no wooden seats.
8. Dodgy advertising boards are still with us, supplemented by a good smattering of 'site available' banners this season, plastered over the out of date ones. Who needs a commercial manager?
10. We have a journeyman ex-pro of sorts, but nothing like trash we saw a few years ago.
16. Our kids seem to be quite attentive until after the game, when they try to maim anyone that gets too close by booting an empty plastic bottle around.
17. The fancy-dan wannabe - saw more of those in the Conference, when pretty much every player for every club would fit that description.
18. Yep, we're got our share of oddballs. Amber - just 25 years more and that description will fit you exactly. ;D
I think I've see the whole lot at some point of another.

Excuse me! I shall need at least 40 years to get to that stage!

1. The man with the bright red face is our player/manager. Doesn't have the flares though. 3. There's about 5 of them who post endlessly on the club website. 6. The raffle prize (singular) used to be a bottle of whisky when we had better support. It's a bottle of wine these days. 8. We have all of the ones mentioned. Plus a lot of empty space. 9. The dodgy undulation in the pitch was flattened about 10 years ago. There's still a hint of it though. 15. Hermo's record collection appears to end some time around 1981. 17. We had one a couple of years ago. I think he's just signed for Stafford.  20. I think the clapped out old telly in the clubhouse actually was made by Pye. I will check the next time I'm there. |

2 The local town nutter who declares that he loves his local team so much and never, ever, misses a game, before mysteriously disappearing somewhere during the second half.
That's Kieren Mooney to a tee
14 The annoying intermittent tannoy system that was given to the club back in 1974 by the local bus corporation. It hardly worked back then, now it just sounds like Norman Collier has taken over the pre-match announcements.
15 The pre-match announcements. Come on, does anybody listen to them ? He could be droning on about balsa wood for all anybody knows. In actual fact, he's usually thanking the local print firm for the match sponsorship or playing records such as "Eye of the Tiger" or anything by Phil Collins.
Both in very rubbish residence at Worcester
17 The fancy-dan wannabe. Easy to spot - he's the only wearing white, gold or red boots. And a hairband. Normally tries a couple of fancy flicks with his first few touches before being taken out by the 40 year old club veteran.
Marco Adaggio
19 The drunk in the social club. He only goes because it was the only place he could get served before all day drinking was allowed. Hasn't yet realised the law was changed in 1989. Even the bloke who positions himself near the dug out and the failed tactician try to avoid him.
We have an Anti-Social Club - but no customers

Our tannoy was out of action a few weeks ago due to vandalism, and someone rigged up a PA system with a bloody great big amplifier on the pitchside. Because it was facing onto the pitch (presumably to give people on all sides a sporting chance of hearing something), the players could hear it a lot more clearly than any of the fans.
Surprisingly, it was actually an improvement on the usual system! Bit echoey, though.

Leamington have a very good system whereby every few metres around the perimiter of the ground there is a tannoy speaker. It looks quite odd in some of the more open areas of the ground but it makes for a very good football announcement experience.

That's Kieren Mooney to a tee Oi!  I might be a nutter but I watch both halves. Unfortunately I'm not getting to all games these days as dole money doesn't run to it. And spell my name right, please. |
