Very poignant moment that. And we looked like something off the set of Reservoir Dogs as we strolled down the Prom. ;-)

The throwing of that badge was probably the last symbolic act in Remembrance of a Great City fan.


We all felt it.

Was such a beautiful sunny day too.

Such a small and somewhat perhaps irrelevant thing to do, but one one i will always remember as it was done with sincerity amongst true friends of his on behalf of another true friend of his.

A piece of Manchester City forever off the coast of Scarborough.

Im raising a glass to Col now

We'll drink a drink a drink

Re: Scarblu

I have just spoke to Ciderjohn on the phone.

He has no internet access at the moment and asked me to post this on his behalf

My best regards to Joane and the girls, Col was a star, a funny man. I never did find my zip

Love the Ciderjohn family

Beautifully put Rasc, I have to say.

When Glyn threw that badge we all took a deep breath and willed it on it's way. Daft but true.

We were leaving Col behind in a way, but we wanted to have something there in the sea to remain forever. As a mark of him, and as a mark of how we all felt.
I like to think that we succeeded in that little enterprise.


Filling up now. :-(

As requested by Stuart, here's a picture of Scar, Kingy (also sadly no longer with us, but just as fondly remembered and equally missed) and Stuart himself
