Loved bamboozle

I won a competition on Club Call. Probably cost ( my employer ) about £500 to enter and the prize was two tickets in the main stand to a big game. Plus a book, presented to me on the pitch by David White before the game.

The big game in question was Ipswich in the Full Members Cup. Unusual, in that it was probably the only game in that competition ever played on a Saturday. I think it was FA Cup 4th round day and we’d both been knocked out in the 3rd round. We lost that game as well.

Was there myself and I seem to remember u....d were at home on the same day., apologies if I got the match mixed up.

Cheap Ski holidays.
Booked a few from there. Best one was a week in the Dolomites. £120 b&b+em. Including transfer to and from the airport.
Booked on the Friday, in the resort on Sunday.
Very much doubt this type of deal ever sees the light of day, now.

You’re right. They lost 1-0 at home to Coventry after beating us by the same score in the 3rd Round.

I remember that game, I seem to remember Kevin Wilson scored an absolute worldy for Ipswich
