Re: Football Specials
 

I remember not being allowed to go on it :(, we were the first club to use it for an away game game at QPR but my grandparents wouldn't let me go because I was too young to go on my own.

Re: Football Specials
 

Used to use the specials a lot in those days, remember having to wait in the station until the players got on, can remember Dougie walking up and down the passage with a bear in one hand with Dally Duncans hat tipped of his eyes. Its not that long ago that Bryan came round to my place and we had a chat about the old days and he remembered the wondering about with DDs hat on. I couldn't see that happening today, the clubs wouldn't let the players mix with us plebs

oh i don't know jaysay, a couple of the mid 90s team used to come occasionally to me disco up the plough, n i'm certainly a pleb.:D;)

Re: Football Specials
 

Players mixing with us lowly folk is certainly a luxury that is gradually saying goodbye to Stanley fans, the higher we go. :(

Re: Football Specials
 

never mind,you will be mixing with them again next season, after the relegation :rolleyes:

Re: Football Specials
 

Proper didn't see that one coming :D

Re: Football Specials
 

looks like big talk from coming from a Rovers fan...careful now..it could be Rovers come next May :eek::D

Re: Football Specials
 

Why the constant dig at Rovers by a self confessed Millwall supporter who would'nt know football from Ping Pong? after all we are the only team in the area who are in the premier league...and have won the league much to the annoyance of the hangers on.
Viva la Rovers................eat your heart out gumshoe my son.

Re: Football Specials
 

You've written us off a bit too quickly there, BR. Still a long way to go and I reckon the lads you've kindly loaned us will play a major part in our survival! :D

Re: Football Specials
 

We're always there to help Wynonie, hope your right, but at the moment it looks like they can't buy a win anywhere, lets just hope that they can get three points on saturday against Bradford and that the gate is bigge than usual with both the Rovers and Burnley having no match and Englands game not kicking of until 17-15

Re: Football Specials
 

We'll be moving up that league soon, mate, believe me!

Re: Football Specials
 

I certainly hope so Wynonie, Stanley have fought to long to regain league status and no one wants to see them taking a backwards step now, so its onward and upward hopefully sooner rather than later
