£55 !!

[Red_till_im_ded]

Once upon a time, 8 years ago to the day in fact, it cost £55 just to see a pre-season friendly.

Blimey, was it 8yrs ago?? Worrying.......

I think we should go original retro, can't take that many to make it worthwhile

Think my old shirt can do another season or two.

And people slept outside the stadium all night queuing for the privilege of getting a ticket.

I’d imagine it’s Umbro who have most of the control over the price rather then the club.

Still being made in some far East sweat shop for a pittance no doubt.!!

There used to be a fella in The Ted Shed about 4 seasons ago who had the complete yellow goalies kit on.
Might of been Polish!!

There was a guy who use to go to away games with the full kit, and a bag full of other afcb stuff that he got out during the game. Haven't seen him since before the Premier league days

Sadly I think he's no longer with us.

Sadly I think he's no longer with us.

Some one better than me will find a thread on here when he sadly passed away a few years ago. A true AFCB legend who was 'always there' where ever we were, despite having what I will probably inaccurately describe as learning difficulties . Taken from us far too young.

Yes, I remember him well at matches. As already mentioned an absolute Cherry through and through.
It was mentioned on another thread that there should be a way of remembering fans by fans at the ground. We have the named brick wall on the corner of the North Stand. Wouldn't take much for the club to erect something that fans could request ex supporter names go on. Family members or friends.

That's a really good idea. Something that the trust could perhaps take up?

Really sorry to hear about Lewis, we always used to look for him giving the opposition a yellow card.

I think you may have misheard. His name was Paul Willis, with everyone either calling him by his surname or just 44.

A 5am away trip at the back of the coach wasn't the same without a mix of heavy trance being blasted out over his headphones. )

 

[Notmarcjackson]

Sorry yes you're right. Willis.

Paul was a great bloke, we've lost a few over the last few years

I've often wondered if we needed a second legends wall, to stick certain supporters on. Lance and Paul being the first that spring to mind

Careful. Everyone who claims to have been at Blyth will want to reserve a spot
