I personally think that your problem is the manager, he seems hell bent on getting everbody’s backs up wherever he goes. Good to read your posts on here and glad the more vociferous board members have not dampened your ardour. Back in the early 70’s I spent a week in Tottenham with a friend staying at his uncles house. We went to matches all over London and also spent a good deal of time in the local boozer which was full of leg pulling Spurs fans, happy memories.
P.S. Just remembered the next door neighbours were two women who I seem to recall were Jack Warner’s sisters (Dixon of Dock Green), they were massive Spurs fans.
P.P.S. Looked up the two ladies in question they lived in Goring Road and were a comedy double act called “Gert and Daisy”, lovely people. I suspect you know all about them.
