No worries. T-Shirt and no lager shandys. I'll blend in no probs. I can also do a decent accent thanks to Jossys Giants and Byker Grove!

Well, as two regulars were found asleep in there after one game recently, maybe Ill House is the right name. :laugh:

They were not asleep, they were part of the newly formed millhouse meditation group, which meets to meditate over a pint (or two) of john smiths, to transcend this world into the next.....

just to clarify an error made here by mr fireball - the article was not written by a former wimbledon supporter - i contacted a former wimbledon supporter in the line of research and some of his notes are used in my article.

chip, just to clarify... are you saying the article was written by a current (AFC) Wimbledon supporter, and not a former Wimbledon (FC) supporter that now follows MK?

the bloke is an afc wimbledon fan that used to be a season ticket holder at the old wimbledon. he opposed the move to milton keynes and refused to have anything to do with them.

some interesting stuff about who trousered the money from the ground sale. also the football in the community stuff that mk dons were allowed to walk away from following the relocation.

when you think about all the great work pools do in the community with the schools/kids can you imagine the chaos caused if that was completely scrapped overnight ?

A tip for visitors: If you want to look at the wonder that is Hartlepool and at the same time see if it is snowing, check out

http://www.hartlepoolfe.ac.uk/New-Build/WebCams

The football ground floodlights can be seen to the left of the 'church' (now a museum)

I've been quite surprised that no scally has yet trespassed into this building site over Xmas and written 'Darlo scum' in the snow.

It's starting to look as if we might miss another game on Saturday, even if it goes ahead.
Freezing fog has descended, snow shows no sign of disappearing and haven't been able to get the car out for about 10 days. It's all right for Bri, just being able to hop on a train......

At least you have got gritters. And does it matter that they are invisible?

The Council say we have gritters,yes, but no ordinary mortal has seen one. That is why I'm convinced they're invisible. .....there's no other explanation, is there?

Anyway, it's started to rain now so hopefully the mountains of snow along the kerbs of our street will reduce a bit before tomorrow.

You could always cut the cackle and go and arrange for a tractor to get me to the match. :roll:

Er, no. I'll wait for the tractor. :wink:

My dad once made me a great little sledge. Wish I had it now.

we were stunned just as we were waking up, erm sorry just as we were coming out of our meditation trance!, the flash of the camera stunned us!

Mister Ed · **Posted:** Sat Jan 16, 2010 10:15 am

if it reserves my seat then so be it I demand to be nailed to the chair, That place has never been the same since they did it up, where has the brisk crisp air gone that met you when you walked thro the door, the sound of shoe soles ripping from sticky carpet as you battled past hords of empties from the previous week or home match, the sound of the bard-maid saying sorry we have none but he's gone to te offfy for some cans, when you have asked for a pint of smiths, happy days tho we were poor.......

Mister Ed · **Posted:** Sat Jan 16, 2010 10:28 am

when I say poor i'm mean poor to us, I used to dream of sucking frozen beer from a can, when we were young, we had to brew the bloody stuff, freddy corr didn't sell booze to the likes of us, he had trouble selling us damm sweets!
nectar it was, home brew, matured over days sometimes hours when we were thirsty, sometimes we just ate the ingrediants and jogged up and down.......

Mister Ed · **Posted:** Sat Jan 16, 2010 11:20 am

when I say nectar it was nectar to us, some days we were so sober we actually watched the match!
