Here's a couple of pics I took down Victory street on matchday. The Osborne House was my pub of choice for a couple of pints of Hyde's before the game.View attachment 167510View attachment 167511

Gardeners was our main drinking spot.

Loved both these pubs. Seemed to spend half my life in them. Still see so many regulars from the Osborne at City. Drinking in town these days though. The Castle and Lower Turks Head mostly.

Fuck me, the club putting a flight on.

Fuck me, the club putting a flight on.

IIRC, the club arranged trips to the final for about £30. I couldn't afford it. :-(

My club organised flight to Istanbul was £1084. Same for my lad. Worth every penny! (But fucking expensive).

Just wondering. How often did Kyle do those long throws for us? Not often, it seems to me. Defences absolutely hate them — when you put someone on the near post to flick it back it creates chaos, as often as not.

Edit; err, I think I've got my threads confused…

The fat Mickie at the front looks like he's come straight from his daughter's wedding.

And I don’t know where to start with the **** at the front wearing a pin striped jacket, cravat and no shirt.
